The gameplay is characterized by intuitive mechanics and a focus on a trick system that enhances flow, making it engaging after a brief learning curve. While it offers simple, arcade-style fun with various challenges, some players feel it lacks variety and depth, primarily revolving around riding waves. Overall, it presents a welcome improvement over traditional trick-based games, though some aspects could benefit from further refinement.
- “Intuitive gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is fun and very much focused on the 'trick' system.”
- “This is such a welcome improvement compared to most trick-based games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Skate 3, etc. It helps with the flow of the gameplay, instead of having to focus on one moment in time and hit all the buttons in that very moment.”
- “There really isn't any variety in the gameplay other than 'ride a single wave towards the camera'.”
- “Feels kinda like you aren't playing; I know it's arcadey, but the gameplay could use some work.”
