How it feels

A janky, physics-driven skateboarding sim where every fall and trick feels uniquely chaotic and organic.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based skateboarding as unique and rewarding, especially when landing a trick, but the game is very rough. Controls are hard to learn, ragdoll physics cause absurd moments, and the tutorial is weak. Performance is poor even on low settings, and the camera and UI frustrate. Still, the developer's engagement and low price win support from enthusiasts.
