How it feels

A scrappy, openly incomplete skateboarding sandbox from a solo developer, with a deliberately honest pre-alpha feel.

What players say

Players say this early-access skateboarding game is rough and barebones, but it is being actively developed by former Tony Hawk's Pro Skater developers. Fans of that series are buying in to support the project and report it already feels fun and nostalgic, though some find the controls too slow and stiff.
