The graphics are generally well-received, complementing the gameplay experience.

- “I enjoyed this game so much; the gameplay is friendly (easy but challenging) and the graphics are awesome.”

I've spun the vending machine 90+ times and never got a good skater, and there's this one skater, Jessica, I never got her either, and she's a normal skater. I understand that I never got Mark because he's rare, but Jessica isn't supposed to be rare.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious, primarily due to the reliance on a prize machine for unlocking tricks, which leads to frequent duplicates and a lack of variety. Many reviewers express frustration with the grind, suggesting that it detracts from the overall enjoyment and encourages them to avoid investing time in the game.

Don't waste your time grinding in this game because all you are going to get (mainly) is duplicate skateboards over and over again and only rarely get characters.
