When customizing the character, a penguin that resembles Tux can be used. The player can also zoom out using the browser settings to cheat in the game. Like Google Chrome's Dinosaur Game, Surf is accessible from the browser's offline error page and can also be accessed by entering edge: surf into the Edge address bar. Its gameplay has been frequently compared to the 1991 video game SkiFree. Microsoft also hosts a version with limited features that is playable from any modern web browser. The game is also included with the Android and iOS versions of Edge. Users can also play the game while waiting for Windows 11 setup to finish. • Illustration — In the skiing theme, the player is chased by the Abominable Snowman from SkiFree. In 2021, a limited-time only seasonal theme was added that changed the surfer to a skier on a snowy mountain as a homage to SkiFree. The kraken was also replaced by the Abominable Snowman (Yeti), also from SkiFree.
