Reviews
- The game has a unique skating theme that is not commonly found in other 2D platformers.
- Some players found joy and nostalgia in the simple, classic gameplay reminiscent of older games.
- The inclusion of trading cards adds a fun collectible aspect to the game.
- The controls are poorly designed and difficult to master, leading to frustrating gameplay.
- The game feels like a low-quality flash game from the 2000s, lacking polish and depth.
- There is no controller support, which makes the experience less enjoyable for players accustomed to using controllers for skating games.

The gameplay is criticized for its poor controls and inconsistent mechanics, leading to frustration as key actions like manuals and grinds often fail to register. Overall, the lack of enjoyable gameplay detracts from the experience, overshadowing any visual shortcomings.
“The gameplay and controls are also bad; things like manuals and grinds only work half the time, so you'll mash your keys in frustration as nothing actually happens. In my experience, spine transfers didn't work.”
“The mechanics feel clunky and unresponsive, making it difficult to enjoy the game. I often find myself struggling to execute basic moves.”
“The overall gameplay experience is frustrating due to frequent bugs and glitches that disrupt the flow of the game.”
