Bikini Bay is a surf camp tycoon and sports management sim.
BUILD THE GREATEST SURF CAMP IN THE WORLD
You've got a VW bus, a patch of sand, and ten years to make a name.
Bikini Bay is a pixel-art surf tycoon about the long game: hiring nobodies and turning them into world champions, shaping boards by hand, and out-working four rival camps who want the same title you do.
BUILD YOUR CAMP
Lay out a beachfront compound tile by tile. Shaping bays, gyms, wave pools, shave ice stands, hammock groves. Place them well and they combine - adjacency bonuses that pay out every week and turn your camp into something that runs itself.
HIRE A CREW WITH ACTUAL PERSONALITIES
Cody surfs when he feels like it and is secretly a legend. Zara has memorised the forecast and resents rest days. Duke reads the ocean like a language. Kai sends it. Every one of them talks - about the swell, about their slump, about the rivals - and none of them talk like each other.
Train them, teach them traits, promote them from Grom to World Champ. Then watch them age, decline, and retire at 38 - and choose how their story ends. Coach the next generation. Send a protege. Or hang the board up and take a place on the Legends wall forever.
SHAPE BOARDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY YOURS
Pick a template, set the volume and rocker, choose a colourway, and name it. Assign shapers who build affinity with a rider over time. Invest tech points for a masterpiece. Evolve a favourite into a Mk.II and it keeps its name and its colours.
Fins, wax, traction pads - all researchable, all tunable, all changing how a board rides.
THIRTY-SECOND HEATS
No filler. Paddle out, read the wave, pick your line. Aerials, cutbacks, floaters, off-the-lips and barrel spits - and which of them your surfer throws depends on who they are. Manage stamina, watch the wipeout meter, and decide when to burn your one SEND IT of the heat.
Wind, tide, swell and your board's match to the conditions all move the score. So does the shaper who built it.
CHASE THE WORLD TITLE
Enter tour series. Fight for monthly contests and sponsor invitationals. Climb the world rankings against four rival camps who each play differently - one poaches your low-morale surfers, one sabotages your reputation, one only turns up when it's big.
Beat them in a head-to-head clash and they'll have something to say about it.
MAKE THE COVER
Win a title, set a career best, or hit world number one and your ride becomes a shareable magazine cover - your surfer, your board, your headline. They live in a trophy room and survive into New Game+, long after the camp that earned them is gone.
A WORLD THAT MOVES WITHOUT YOU
Seasons turn. Winter brings the real swells to Pipeline and Cloudbreak. Forecasts arrive days ahead, so you can plan a trip around them. Sponsors pay weekly, staff want paying monthly, and boards wear out.
Ten in-game years. A full evaluation at the end. Then New Game+, with everything you learned.
Free to play, with ads. One optional purchase removes interstitials forever.
No internet needed. Play on a plane.
No timers to wait out, no energy bars, no daily login guilt.
