Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We remember first playing this in 2012. Only recently rediscovering it. Id never seen gameplay this good in any of the skateboard games available at the time. Nowadays, two of the level goals in sketch park creater to top of upper wall and lower wall, no longer trigger for some reason. So its impossible to complete the sketch park level. Other than that its still a super fun game just like we remember it :).
This game is actually one that Id want to play everyday. We havnt played it since 2014, so Id reccomend you work the original Pure Skate to iOS 11.
Please update the game! Its really amazing and we loved playing it on our old phone but now it is unable to run in our new iphone please fix.
One of the best skate games on any platform. It's challenging to the liken of Thrasher: skate and destroy. Please give us CROOKED grinds and SMITH grinds. Also, how do you nollie when auto push is off.
His is our third favorite game buy it buy it now.
We honestly find this the best skate game and game in general. We really love this game. We've been addicted to it for a year or more. We wish they made more maps for it but we still think this game is perfect. Once you play you won't want to stop.
Would definitely be a 4-star had the app worked consistently. The gameplay is great and definitely addictive when you get the hang of it, long after you finish all the goals. The problem lies within the app itself, in that there's a 10% success rate of it launching. If they were to fix the apps inconsistent launch issues and update the graphics and add different spots, this would be top of the line.
Don't waste time on this app until they update for new iOS the game doesn't even open it crashes immediately every time.
Won't work! Keeps crashing when we open app. Want our money back.
We just wasted 2.99 on this and it keeps closing we need a refund.
We just paid 2.99 for this app and now it's force closing constantly. We need a refund how do we go about receiving one.
THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST PURCHASES IVE DONE LIKE we EXPECT OF REFUND FROM THE COMPANY THIS GAME WAS BETTER OFF NOT BEING MADE.
As in RL, one both progresses in their repertoire and gets better at known tricks in this game. The array of those tricks is impressive and feel remarkably fluid and natural. Scoring doesn't always factor in all elements and context but is otherwise robust and rewarding. Some of the combos you'll eventually unleash will leave you shaking your head in awe of your own badassery. We never tire of improvising a new line through the Sketch Park, which seems to be the only level worth skating to us (have only two unlocked so far though). Huge air can be had on the large half, but no grabs. That would be an amazing feature if at all possible. Lastly, we want to comment how cool it is to play this while standing up and moving around. That is how your devices gyro will translate into sick spin combos.
Better than the tech deck games.
We love this game so much we can't stop playing it.
We love it we feels really close to real life. Way better than other skate apps.
This is one of our sons favorite apps, however, when he plays on his ipad, the game seems to continuously crash after everyone of his runs which he and we both find frustrating and annoying. Thats our only complaint. Sometimes it works correctly and sometimes it doesn't. If they could try and fix that bug that would be awesome.
IT IS STUPID THAT WE HAVE TO COMPLETE 5 LEVEL GOALS TO UNLOCK THE NEXT SKATE PARK IF WE PAYED $3 AREADY DUMB RIGHT FIX RIGHT RIGHT NOW.
This fame is super gun and helps keep us occupied when we're board.
The game is fun but needs more worlds and more flip and more grinds tricks.
As someone who used to fingerboard constantly, this game is a dream. The controls came very naturally to us, but much like actual skateboarding, take some practice to perfect. If you've never fingerboarded, it might take a little more practice. But once you get the hang of it, you'll love it! We only wish we could add crooked grinds and smith grinds.
We really enjoy this game your money is worth it p.s. How do you do a nightmare flip.
But it would be nice spawn markers. We should have more freedom when it come to choosing our stance, because im right hand and we want to ride regular not switch all the time. We want to be able to switch between character without loosing our data for the previous character. And add more do-able challenges.
It's a great game super fun and want some more places.
Best skateboarding game available.
We love it but more unlocked skate parks.
Good, but more levels!!! More tricks, slides and grinds. Need a nice update.
Perfect game but make another skatepark needs a nice update.
This game is so fun! We play it all the time, it is so worth the money.
It's like you really skateboarding, we love this game.
It takes a good bit of time to get things under control, but once you have it is a blast. Very realistic.
Best game in the whole wide world.
Great game to play during class. Great feel, feels very realistic.
Pure skate is a awesome game that is fun for all ages and is like using a techdeck.
It's the best skating game on the app store.
Fusing the intuitive controls of touch grind with tony-hawk style gameplay, this game is seriously addicting, and so so much fun to play for skaters and really just about anyway. The best skateboarding game on ios.
Excellent graphics and high quality game play on iPad. We would suggest to the makers, however, an option for sessions longer than 2 min in the full version, and for an undo option. All in all a great game on this platform.
Only thing we want on this game is to have the controls be sideways, should have the option. But we're still a beast and so is the game.
Very awesome game, loving it! We just really want to know where the maps are? We paid for full version too! Does it have to do with having iPad version? #dissapointed but satisfied.
This game is very addicting. We are not even close to bored with it after a week or playing. One thing we have a question on is how to session the hump one the second park.
Rarely rarely do we get addicted to games. But this one we can't get enough of. We will warn u it's a little frustrating at first but once your finger movement catches on its that much better! Well done! Our only gripe is its too hard to play this and rotate the iPad. And the buttons for rotating are spread to far apart. Would be great if rotating could be controlled with rotating the fingers more.
This is defiantly the best skateboard game on the market. One you get your stats up a little bit the game get really fun. Just wish there were different challenges for each skater. You pretty much end up doing the same thing with each skater.
We play this all the time even during school it's so addicting!!! Needed Features 1Touch Board Controls Vs the Board Simulator as a setting 2In-App Purchase Upgrades 3More Maps 4Different Maps for Different People 5Different Board Options 6And Some New Tricks Other than that itsb the perfect skateboarding game and a must buy!!! So.
This is the best skate game for iPad. It's flippin great. Buy it RIGHT now :) The oooonly thing we don't like is that your data doesn't transfer from the free version to the full version when you buy.
Don't hesitate, this is the best action sport simulation game on the market.
This game is the best skate app we've found.
This app is fun, but we wish it was easier.
This pathetic game glitches up on us every time we use it. We touch the screen and BOOM board flips and we fall off of it. Besides the terrible gameplay it's amazing on how you get to use your fingers.
