Many reviewers noted that the soundtrack not only fits the game's tone but also serves as a motivating backdrop for gameplay, making it a standout feature of the title.

  • gameplay119 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by a gradual introduction of complex mechanics, allowing players to engage casually or tackle challenging side objectives for higher scores. It features a smooth and intuitive control scheme, vibrant visuals, and a captivating soundtrack, making it accessible yet deep for those seeking mastery. While some players appreciate the depth and customization options, others find certain mechanics frustrating or the pacing of new mechanics slow, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay starts very simple, and you're gradually introduced to more and more complex mechanics that will allow you, if you manage to incorporate them, to blow up the scores.”
    • “You can approach the game as you please, either very casually or choose to tackle the side objectives that bring the true difficulty of the game and push you to use every mechanic to the fullest.”
    • “The gameplay is amazing, and the way they give you a full moveset at the very beginning while explaining it sporadically throughout the game to not overwhelm you is done very well.”
    • “Even though it's an arcade game, this gameplay is confusing.”
    • “Such a shame, but bad level design and wanky mechanics ruined this game for me.”
    • “I love the aesthetic, I love the music, I love the vibe, but the actual gameplay is a lot less Tony Hawk and a lot more Flappy Bird; jump at the right time to avoid crashing.”
  • graphics107 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their vibrant and charming art style, often compared to the aesthetics of "Adventure Time." Players appreciate the beautiful visuals, engaging character designs, and the overall cozy atmosphere that complements the gameplay.

  • story33 mentions

    The story in the game is described as light, silly, and family-friendly, often poking fun at 90s skateboarding culture, but it is generally considered forgettable and not the main focus of the gameplay. While some players found the dialogue annoying and chose to skip cutscenes, the vibrant art style and engaging mechanics kept them entertained, providing ample replay value through side missions and challenges. Overall, the narrative serves more as a backdrop to the fun and addictive gameplay rather than a compelling element on its own.

    • “The story is very silly and family friendly while making fun of the rad skateboarding culture of the 90s.”
    • “Wonderfully addictive game feel, with satisfying tricks and combo systems that are fused together with an endearing little story.”
    • “Its a very well designed, fun, challenging game with amazing visuals and cool storytelling!”
    • “That said, I should also add that I did not pay attention to a single line of dialogue, as I found those very annoying, so story-wise it didn't do it for me.”
    • “The story is forgettable in my opinion, but you can skip all the cutscenes by holding 'A' and just get back to being the skate god you are.”
    • “By the third biome, I was skipping the 'story' and just rushing to get to the end until I realized I wasn't having fun.”
  • grinding15 mentions

    Players generally enjoy the grinding mechanics in the game, finding it engaging and conducive to a "one more try" mentality, with many appreciating the fluidity of tricks and the vibrant aesthetics. However, some note that the experience can become tedious in later stages, where the gameplay may feel limited and overly repetitive, particularly when striving for high scores or completing challenges. Overall, while grinding is a core and enjoyable aspect, it can occasionally lead to frustration as players progress.

    • “The game can feel a bit grindy at times, but the rewards make it worth it.”
    • “Grinding is a necessary part of the experience, and it adds depth to character progression.”
    • “While there are moments of grinding, they are balanced by engaging gameplay and rewarding loot.”
    • “Game slaps, played the first area, unlocked ranked and spent 4 hours grinding a 2 minute long level to reach the top rank in bronze 1 division and I'm going to do it again tomorrow.”
    • “I'm having a blast with it, but that flow state is a little harder to come by in later stages where you're really limited in how you approach them, like it'd be cool if you could mess around a bit more on the flats instead of endlessly grinding out manuals, know what I mean?”
    • “After a little more time with the game I do have to say, the 'challenging but fun' portion of the game comes to a grinding halt when you hit mid sketchside.”
  • replayability15 mentions

    The game boasts exceptional replayability, with levels that adapt to player skill and unique objectives that encourage revisiting earlier stages. Players can engage in bonus challenges, a time-limited ranking system, and randomly generated tracks, ensuring a wealth of fresh content and hours of gameplay. Overall, the combination of a satisfying skill curve and diverse challenges makes it a title that players can enjoy for years.

    • “Credits roll after at most 5 hours and while there is replay value, this is more of your typical casual indie title.”
    • “Seriously, just add a slew of lines for each instance and have it replace the end dialogue if you skip the opening dialogue. For a game about replay value, it sure doesn't seem like the dialogue was considered in the gameplay loop; it's always in the way.”
    • “And while it has a ton of replayability, it feels limited in scope and depth.”
  • humor7 mentions

    The game's humor is widely praised for its cheeky writing and funny characters, such as a humorous seagull man, which complements its appealing art style.

    • “The writing and cast are cheeky and really funny, perfectly complementing the beautiful art style!”

  • character development3 mentions

    Character development in the game is praised for its impressive aesthetics, including beautiful graphics and character designs, as well as a captivating soundtrack.

    • “The aesthetics, soundtrack, world, and character design are all amazing, but the character development feels lacking.”
  • stability3 mentions

    • “However, it freezes on occasion and I have to restart it.”
    • “I don't believe that they had people test these challenges because, while yes, they can be done, a lot of them are not fun challenges and are outright buggy or janky.”
    • “Great soundtrack, great art, great customization, but many levels are buggy and the challenges get worse as you progress.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    Overall, the game is well-optimized, providing a smooth experience with no significant bugs. However, some users have reported occasional hitching in certain stages, suggesting that these performance issues may be inherent to the game rather than related to individual hardware.

    • “So much fun and runs smoothly with zero bugs.”
    • “Performance is generally good, but some stages have hitching which seems to be the game itself and not the PC hardware that's running it.”
