The Ramp

Why would you pump before getting back down to the ramp, at the top of the ramp and across the flat, but not during the curved section. It's totally backwards and creates a lot of unnecessary tapping leaving barely anytime to focus on and perform tricks. Graphics are nice and it could be a really fun game if the pumping wasn't so cumbersome. Also, button icons from the steam version (A, Y, etc) are still left over from porting. 3 stars for now but willing to keep an eye on updates.

Love the ramp. I felt sure that the lack of goals would mean I only played with this for a little while but the tight gameplay kept me coming back. After a while I was setting my own goals (just like real skateboarding), like trying to get a tight 20 second run at the pool. FYI, it's a Grind round the mini semi circle bit followed by 360 melon on the opposing ramp and a jump over the ladder to start...

I want to like this game. It is very charming at its core. Unfortunately the pump system is counter intuitive and makes no sense in terms of when you charge and release. Also, it supposedly has full controller support, but using a dual shock 4 pad no stick input is detected other than r3 and l3, and no d pad input is detected either. This game should, however, be celebrated for not being a predatory, mtx filled mess.
