I figured out how to push, but the tricks seems pretty hard to do. Interface in the game to tell me what I can press that triggers when a trick is available might help! Love this concept! Skating is cool!

felt almost impossible to get to 1000 pts in time. Maybe I was doing something wrong? but I was spamming tricks. game has potential though!

Fantastic concept, one of the most developed here. I wish there were a retry button :(

I like the idea but also could not figure out how to get 1000pts. A really hard game.

Cool concept and nice pixelart. I was super confused how I was supposed to do tricks though and it felt impossible to reach 1000 pts.

I liked the concept and the fitting time-counter in the corner. I also enjoyed the green splash it your inevitable slimey death entails. I found it a bit to difficult since the 10 seconds seem really short. Nice little game :)

The game turned out to be a bit harder than I anticipated and I ran out of time to make a guide in the original post so here are some tips! - You do tricks by hitting the arrow keys or WASD at the same time (or quickly back to back). For example to do a floop trick hit down and right! This trick will get you points and launch you into the air, where you can follow it up with another trick. - Doing tricks consecutively will build up a combo and get you bonus points the higher the combo. A combo ends when you touch the ground after being in air, or if you fumble. - You will fumble if you hit a key combination that doesn't match a trick. - Doing different types of tricks in one combo will get you bonus style points. Doing as many different tricks as you can before a combo ends can net you a lot of bonus points!

This was a nice little entry! I actually kinda like the "Skate"-esque control scheme where you have to manually push off the ground to move forward. 👍

I did find the tricks to be a little difficult to pull off sometimes (I don't think I ever managed to land on a rail properly), but once I got the hang of a few combos, they were pretty fun to pull off!

I do think some audio cues would really enhance the experience, since I never could really tell when I would meet the threshold and have my timer reset. But otherwise I had a great time with this one!

Nice game! It took me a while to figure out your controls, but after I saw your tips it was pretty straight forward. I love the general art theme. It all works together nicely. Some sfx would have been really nice too, but nice entry nonetheless!

I like the concept, very original, and the art! I thought the game was very complicated but I still want to try again and again =D

Pretty good! Always love a game that makes me think I'm good at skateboarding. Perhaps the key combination time window was a bit too tight. I fumbled while I felt like I had pressed it correctly. A bit of audio would've been nice.

Decent game, although pretty tricky! Never managed to get very high, but it was fun. The main sprite looks really, really good, but the rest of the UI could've used a little bit more love.

Overall, though, pretty fun! Great job!

Dang that's tough, really nice execution though, great fun!
