Community Insight:
Awesome game only bummer is could really use more content and stuff to do to increase replay value.
Its just a good pick up game its like 40 seconds each round dont take to long but there goals you have to do two challenges to acquire a trick point which gives you one trick with one trick point but there is only like ten tricks but there is also the same way to get characters and theres like twenty of em you can customize your board player and freesmate all that suit we like it.
Ive played a lot of mobile skating games and this is the best one Ive played by far. We played the demo and immediately bought the whole game with the intention to open up more maps, after opening up the Beach map we were pleasantly surprised by how simple the game is but how much we want to play it. The only things Id want as a player would be a overall points option for free skate (we like being able to see our points on the tricks we do, but it would be cool to be able to see our total overall score while in free skate as well), and if there could be missions unlocked on other maps like the Park and the Beach we feel like that would open up a lot more for the game as well. We know its still early stages and you guys are probably working on other fixes and bugs etc. But those 2 things would give players a greater initiative to progress in the game. And also Im looking forward to more maps because the style and creativity of the maps are great to begin with. All in all this game reminds us of our skate 3 days and would love to see how the game grows and develops with time.
We like the game, but if they had a little bit more maps and skateboards.itll be even better but we would rate it a five because its fun and it cures boredom whenever youre bored.
We love the game but there is only a few things to do because there is only 3 maps and they are small and not there is not lot of skins and ways to customize it.
This app is superbly designed for mobile devices. It has simple, elegant controls that make it perfect for people new to skateboarding games. But that doesnt mean it cant be challenging. It has enough depth to keep you engaged for quite a while. It has plenty of fun characters and a long list of tricks to be unlocked as you improve your skating skills. Its not intended to compete with the super complex, high-end console skate games. Its meant to be more accessible, for when you want a quick mobile skating fix, and Ive been loving it. Its got some minor issues that need fixing. Like sometimes it doesnt register completed tricks. You might have to repeat the same trick 2 or 3 times in a row before you get credit for it, which can be frustrating when its a difficult trick. But overall the game is beautifully designed. The small file size is a reflection of how cleanly these 3D environments were coded. Everyone has features theyd like to see added to the game, ourselves included, but the more complex you make the game, the more you reduce its simple charm. Of course nobody would complain if new content is added in future updates. Definitely worth 5 bucks and 5 stars.
Love the aesthetics and the game itself would give it a go.
We like this game but we only have 5 more trials so we are unable to play.
We really love pocket skate its amazing everything is just perfect the characters are sick the maps are awesome there is loads of tricks the only bad thing about the game is you have to pay for the full game which is disappointing but mostly worth it but overall amazing game Thank you developers.
We really like this game so far, but it would be cool if yall could add some background music, cause its awkward. But still nonetheless the character designs and the way the game works is rlly cool! We even decided to buy the whole game, cant wait to see what the future brings.
We got this game on day 1 and dont regret buying it. But PLEASE ADD CLOUD SAVING.
Not everyone has Apple Music, can you please add Spotify support? Other than that the game is pretty good. The skirting reminds us of Jet set radio.
Great game! Fun mechanics especially in action camera. Theres only three maps though as far as we know which is pretty limiting. Would play much much more if there were new maps to unlock.
Most of this is just our opinion but we don't like the controls. For us it took a really long time to get used too.we also don't like the characters. Only skinny jeans? We do really like how the game looks though. Great animation and graphics. Especially for a skate game, that are usually pretty mid. Just give us some baggy jeans please and you got a great skate game.
This is a SUPER FUN mobile skating game. Very, very fun. But, the world feelsdead. There is a desperate need of SOME kind of background audio or music. Id love to see this get worked on more.
Wish there was more maps and control settings where you could move the controls around we love this game style keep up the good work.
Seeing the last update being a year ago is sad because this game has great potential but theres only 3 maps and they are fairly small. If there was maybe like 10 total we would say this is a complete game and worth 5 dollars but you cant help but feel its overpriced for now.
The controls stress us out. Why is it like that.
Can be way better make a custom skatepark and add more parks board graphics grip tape clothing this can be a massive game.
The amount of money that we have to pay to play the whole game is stupid.
We dont think its worth 5$ the game should be free and make the items like characters and boards purchasable 5 sessions was certainly not enough for us to experience the gameplay.
Five sessions, 30 seconds each, thats the trial. Controls unintuitive, could be a learning curve but the trial doesnt allow enough time to figure it out. 24 hours would be enough time to get used to the controls and hook new players, this game feels like it has potential but with games like trueskate out for free we dont see why this would be worth spending money on.
We are having so much fun playing this with a Bluetooth controller and screen mirroring on our TV! Bravo! This game rocks.
Its a really great game but the turning is really sensitive even at the lowest we can put it on. If your reading this please fix it.
Absolutely love this game! Idk if itd eventually be possible but Id love for their to be a portrait mode. The game doesnt need it but itd be an awesome feat!! Great work and we love the camera update.
A great game that we play daily and always enjoy, we just wish more people would play it.
Great little game. Fun to play, but the camera needs to be behind the user and far enough away to see ahead at all times. The dynamic camera setting doesnt allow for this and the fixed camera setting is difficult to use controls with. Also, would be nice to be able to complete challenges during free skate. 5 stars otherwise.
Crashes on the Vert Tutorial every time. Closed the app and all other apps just incase it was a memory issue. IPhone 11 running iOS 16.0.3.
Fun game but every time we try and and watch the vert training it crashes. Fix this please.
IPhone 13 pro max software version 15.6.1. Game crashes constantly and consistently.
Cuando ag el entrenamiento carga pero se sale de la app siempre ase lo mismo When you go through the training, it loads but you leave the app, it's always the same.
Cant recommend this enough! We would love to be able to have challenges you could do on the other 2 tracks to count towards new tricks. Also we already got 100% all skaters and secretly was hoping this would give us the wolf to skate as we really would like that as a secret (or not secret) unlockable character.
Game is really fun tricks are good looking, the characters are super cool the fall animations and the overall style of the game is just a vibe LITERALLY the only things we dont like about the game is turning around maybe add a revert to the game, the camera is a little wonky, but overall the game is great cant wait for new challenges and maps.
This Game is amazing, we were surprised. Hopefully yall continue to add more maps that are larger and hopefully some events. We would also like to see multiplayer, some type of multiplayer Trick battle, to see who gets the highest point or something. But over all the 10/10 Plz keep adding maps and tricks in.
You killed this!! We would love to be able to play in portrait mode and be able to really customize our character and board but besides that this is definitely the best skateboarding game on iOS! You dropped this at the best time cause now Ive got this for on the go and Ill have session for home! Cant wait for more.
Cant wait for future updates, everything so far runs smoothly the camera is just a bit wonky but so far its good.
This game is really fun and adds a definitely distinguishing style to skateboard games available on iOS. This takes what was done in pocket half pipe and gives a full experience, definitely a must try! The only thing Id really like to see is maybe some controller support in the future, but as is it is an awesome edition to mobile gaming library. Great job Devs.
Great game overall, but skater trick progression is only tied to the skatepark and its starting to feel redundant with repeating/overused challenges. The game would be much better if challenges were added to each location.
