That intro cutscene is pure beaty. I'm sad that you can't actually do a pop-shuvit :[

Love the Ska-Beats in the background and the impressive intro O: Very, incredibly hard game, too! Will try a bit more though, maybe it's me

^ this situation right here though? I hate it >:(

The Keyboard Cowboys are riding once again and I'm enjoying EVERY MINUTE of it! 🤠👍

You guys are absolutely hilarious, making such a serious game about rolling a table around. Definitely not recommended to play it with a touchpad, but once I pulled out my mouse things got epic (and about 6 times easier). I also feel like a total idiot for not realizing I could grab the edges of the device and tilt it to, like, move.... 😏

You guys are on my list to make sure I check out your game every jam. And I'm still feeling good about that decision. This game had me laughing at the silliness of it the whole time.

I did find it difficult to get out of upside down table in a few spots. I ended up just shaking pretty wildly in all directions and that usually did the trick. I don't have nearly the skills to control going up on the high paths to collect the letters. Super innovative on the control scheme, nice job!

I like the Crazy Taxi vibes, feels very nostalgic, the controls are a little difficult to get used to, I wished the jump was a little more springy but cool experience nonetheless.

How much of the budget/time went into the swag intro?

I just loved this game so much! It's so fun to play with, and hard to believe how you have this game polished so well in 3 days. Congrats on the tremendous work! How did you guys even have time doing an opening lol I do enjoy boarding with the table, and the control is pretty funny. Getting the table upside down is tricky, but it will be pretty satisfying once you make it. Good job!

Cool game! Interesting idea and great realization :)

A full blown intro cinematic?! You guys are really raising the bar here, and then skidding across it. Really glad you rolled with this and didn't table the idea.

Awesome presentation and another game that makes you go WTF. At first I started out trying several runs where I collected everything, but that was taking **incredibly** long so I figured I would just finish the stage for. Even that took a while, though I eventually finished with 3:33.

Honestly some of the parts make you feel absolutely awesome like playing a Sonic level. Moments like when you flip over a ramp, grind at a 45 deg angle, then nail the landing. I'm sure someone out there's gonna get good enough to pull that all off consistently.

Seriously the presentation is great and fits the control scheme well. I was indeed looking for a restart button, and lo and behold it was there etched into the desk. I always restarted til I got the faster of the ska songs. Really fun game, and if I were 20 years younger with unlimited free time again, this is something I would keep playing to try to master.

[Tip for other players] If you get stuck on your back, grab the screen and make big circles. Seems to be the quickest way to right yourself back up.

That opening cutscene was great. The game was really well presented and played like a treat. I wish there was some keyboard controls, at least in terms of turning the console. Otherwise it was an excellent game.

Man great intro! I had a lot of fun playing and your presentation was absolutely on point. The only point of frustration for me was getting back onto my wheels whenever I fell over. I felt like a turtle sometimes, but when I didn't it was rad.

stalemeat 2021-10-09 08:48

Fantastic look! Very Tony Hawk Ps1. I liked the intro a lot, although I'd wish there was a skip feature. The table was very difficult to flip back once it's upside down. Maybe I was just playing wrong. It was funny! Nice entry!

This game only having 16 ratings received at the time I'm writing this is criminal. Absolutely incredible game, polished to possibly the highest degree I've seen a jam game be polished to in the two LD jams I've participated in. As of now this game is my contender for overall jam winner. The controls are innovative yet tight, the ui is filled with easter eggs and little touches, and the gameplay itself is great to boot. Great job to you three, you should be proud.

matterlinx 2021-10-09 09:43

Awesome job with this submission. I really liked the idea of using a phone that you can move rotate to control the table. At first I thought the controls wouldn't be great, but after playing for a couple minutes I ended up really liking it. The details in the UI were done very well and I thought the experience was very enjoyable. Great job guys!

The music and art work great together. What a fun skating game -- a bit challenging, but that's part of the fun.

jackaljk 2021-10-09 19:02

The concept is so cool but the mouse only controls turns me really off :/

xparker 2021-10-09 19:09

Very enjoyable. albeit, for me, a bit too difficult to see the task at hand.

johnnysix 2021-10-09 19:51

Very cool game, though the controls were unique, for old / less adept people, it'd be cool to have some boring keyboard controls :smiley:

The intro, music, style and humor are spot on. Like @trexxak said , the Ska-Punk sound took me back to the early 00's :metal:

hawkin 2021-10-10 21:37

Lol this is exactly the kind of thing I've come to expect out of you lot. Just the right mixture of awesome and "tf?" This hit a sweet spot of nostalgia. Would love to see this on a mobile version, too!

The controls definitely were a challenge to master. My only wish was for a way to intentionally flip over (or flip back). Your tip in the game page was apparently a little too hard for me :P I kept getting stuck on the table side, limiting my ability to pull off sweet tricks and flips :o

Honestly guys, hats off! The whole artistry of it all was a complete package. Putting it on a virtual console with a background packed with naughts doodles was perfect.

manio 2021-10-11 08:35

This is the funniest game so far hahaha!! The intro was epic xD The Ska-Punk music fit perfectly. It was rather cumbersome to control everything with the mouse. It would have been nice to move the gamepad with keys as well. For example getting the table back on its feet was annoying cuz it took 2-3 attempts each time. Thanks for the entry!

Hi Cole & Ruddbros! Thanks for submitting your game for me to play live during my Twitch stream!

If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here:

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

I like the visual art. Well done!

the-jahn 2021-10-11 16:20

rad af. part of it takes me back to THPS on the PS1 and the rest of it just makes me crack up at how hilariously weird it is. great work! ;)

potkirland 2021-10-11 16:36

a really innovative style of presentation in this game! i was never good at skating games and this game can easily make the list too! but i still got to collect what i wanted.. the physics and mechanics and the presentation is really innnovative and intuitive! it was a nice run keep up the good work :thumbsup:

erikkire 2021-10-11 18:48

First time I see intro cinematics on a LD submission. Big bonus for that! Nice theme interpretation :)

mar3k 2021-10-11 19:38

Probably the best game I played so far, the intro straight up killed me and the graphics are great just as is the music. Well done!!

wilko 2021-10-11 19:41

Probably one of the most refreshingly unique games of the competition I really enjoyed it. I just wish it wasn't quite so difficult. I felt like I was getting punished for trying to do cool things like triple flips and all that.

animawish 2021-10-12 07:08

Fantastic game, funny concept and well executed. Love the indirect interface, and the controls in the graffiti is great design. Nice job!

zimny11 2021-10-12 22:28

The music is just great. And the intro just super cool. Fun game, it was a pleasure to try it out.

P.S. I would give you 10 for the music if I could :)

atmospherium 2021-10-14 16:38

I'm bad at this game and I'm completely happy with that. Great take on motion controls that are somehow actually usable, absurd premise, great art, great music. This is everything I want from a Ludum Dare game.

But in spite of that, the intro cutscene isn't an infinite loop so I give this a 0/10, literally unplayable.

papabirb 2021-10-18 04:39

After experiencing your stream and looking at your old entries thumbnails, this is exactly the energy I expect you guys to bring. Unfortunately I'm terrible at it - controls wise, I would love to tilt and pull the screen down at the same time, something I would do on an actual console. With just a mouse? I spent 4 minutes trying to get "T" and then wasn't skilled enough to finish(?) the game later on when I got trapped with the "L" and a matchbook. So, hope there's no surprise genre changes or anything, because I'm as bad at this game as I am at the Rocket Power video game! But I also recognize that perhaps that difficulty of not being able to do both actions is intended. Just not something I can enjoy the fun tricks of because I am the world's most uncoordinated. That or my large monitor is making it harder to move the mouse between places fast enough, but it seemed like a pretty fixed size on itchio (ignoring the full-screen button which I did not click), so it's probably just that I'm bad.

Still though, the audio and that intro, all the aesthetics, all the personalized little "KBCB" graffiti in multiple styles? Absolutely fantastic. "NICE LEGS" table store? Incredible! I love this, I wish I was better at it.

itsboats 2021-10-21 20:03

Yoooo dope game that cinematic @ the beginning is absolutely bonkers as heck It controls a little difficult, but I think with more practice it isn't an issue. I could see myself improving already in just the short amount of time I played. I'm for sure coming back to this to collect T-A-B-L-E at the very least >:)

Great work you guys!
