Relaxing / rewarding / beautifully built skateboarding game that all skaters need to play!

i truly love all aspects of this game ( i have skateboarded for 20 years out of 27 years on this earth ) I truly look forward to see what else gets added to this game. I would love to see more maps / longer maps and more in depth challenges ( the challenges are so much fun ) but would love to see more challenges added to each map. Only thing i could think to add to this game is more camera angles for when your skating, i love the film mode & think it would be cool to be closer to skater while skating / more options in that realm & not just filming, maybe even a angle offset to the right or left of the skater while playing. More camera angles would be cool too!. Would be so rad to add some maps focused more on transition style skating like bowls, quarters etc, & add transition tricks to the game. As person who has worked in the skate & snow industry for most my life, this is the only skateboarding phone game that i would recommend to my homies. You guys created an absolute masterpiece & truly excited to see what comes next for this game. Please continue to push development ideas & creativity towards this game. If you ever need any help with ideas for this game let me know, i have over 100 ideas for this game ! If i could give this game 100 stars i would.

amazing game

i recently got into skateboarding and played a bunch of the tony hawks games and i wanted to see what ios had to offer. i found tons of games, there were good games, like skate party series, but i also check out the linear games, and found tech deck and a few others. i checked most of them out, and the graphics of the game appealed to me so i check it out. turns out it’s better than tech deck. by a lot. the graphics in this game are amazing, the music relaxes me, and everything about it is very good. i just have one issue. when i’m doing challenges, sometimes when i perfectly land a trick, it does not register and says that i failed it even though i did it perfectly. also sometimes the trick slider thingy disappears and i have to relaunch the game. overall great game, scenery is incredible and have never seen a skating game this smooth this game would go into my top 3 skating games list. close battle between THUG pro and this game. but i think they are tied up. also pls add more maps. 4 maps is just not enough and want at least 9 maps. i would also love for a open world mode, where you can skate in the background, like the thps games. if this happens, this game would go number 1 spot on my skating games list.

LOVE IT, VERY WELL MADE!!!

Skating🛹, Music🎼, Scenery🏞, Challenging♟and Fun🎮 A+ Skate City is a fun skateboarding, side scrolling, arcade style game that legitimately had me hooked instantly. Learning new tricks, and completing each set of new challenges(AND GETTING ALL 3 ⭐️’s) is very satisfying. The games soundtrack consists of Hip-Hop instrumentals that vibe so perfectly, and totally fit this style of gameplay. IMO, Skate City’s artwork/sceneries feel right on point, they’re aesthetically pleasing but nothing over the top. Each level is an individual location with different backgrounds and layouts containing obstacles strategically placed throughout to allow players the ability to complete that set of challenges. As new challenges are unlocked I find the degree of difficulty level to level doesn’t increase too drastically, allowing players to progress somewhat seamlessly before reaching a point of frustration. For a mobile arcade game I’d suggest downloading it, Thanks for reviewing my review. Matthew R. Johnson

Great game, want more!

This game is really fun and the graphics and music are really satisfying. I feel like they have some people on the development team who actually like real-life skateboarding which gives this game a more authentic feel. I just wish there was more! It sounds like new maps are in the works which is great, but the maps and challenges currently are fairly quick to beat. The addition of Pro Skate was exciting because it provided something new and a lot more challenges-but I recently hit level 21 and it seems like that’s as high as it goes? I was thinking it seemed like a type of progression that you could level up through for a whole lotta time, but it’s not showing any new challenges when I start a Pro Skate round. Hopefully more level-up opportunities will be added to pro skate mode, and if not please do! Also, I would love to see pro skate added to the other cities that already exist in the game, as well as any added in the future! In short, I love the game (best iOS skate game), but am hoping for more maps, pro skate opportunities, and game!

Good game marred by terrible controls

Well-designed game. The biggest problem is that sometimes it just won’t do the trick that I wanted it to do. Sometimes that even includes just pressing the “kick” button on the bottom right, or even holding it down—and the skater does nothing but stand on his skateboard. Other times I am properly doing the swiping for a particular trick but it simply does not register and the skater just stands still in the middle of a grind and falls. Over time this goes from a minor annoyance to a major irritant, especially as you progress through the game and become better at it. The “buttons” are supposed to be separated by the quarters of your screen (top right, bottom left, etc) but even that is not enough. Your thumb must be in a particular location in whichever quarter you swipe on, which is ridiculous. I notice that your thumb generally must be located more towards the center of the screen to start a trick properly. Considering we’re swiping on smooth flat screens with zero haptic feedback, it is counterintuitive to needlessly make the controls so stubborn by default.

Supporting an idea.

The person before has already said what I’m going to say, as well as many others, so I won’t make this too long. This is by far the best mobile skating game out there, no question about that. But everyone knows all great things can be made greater and this game is a prime example. As I said, the person before me suggested the idea of adding more city’s, and I support this idea 100%. New York is the addition I agree with most, but if you’re looking to add more city’s across the globe, there’s Tokyo, Rio, London, to name a few. I would like to see at least two more city’s in the next update, or any update if possible. Thank you for your consideration, have a good one. Edit: It would also be cool if you could add a little more grinds, such as a willy and salad, or possible just one extra grind, a boardslide. I don’t know how exactly you could make different controls for these grinds, so if it doesn’t get added I understand. All I really want is new city’s.

Good game, but can be a lot better

I believe this game is the best mobile representation of skating. I love how all the in-game locations feature real skating locations. The controls are fairly easy to use, especially if you have played the EA Skate games. I do believe, however, that this game can be vastly improved. First, having only three locations is fairly annoying. I get pretty bored fairly quickly because I’m so familiar with every location. Furthermore, I believe having a fisheye angle of the game would be a great feature to have. You can do this in the recording feature; however, switching to this mode gets rid of some features and ruins the normal gameplay. Finally, the skaters style is a bit ugly. When I land cool tricks, I’m often not impressed because nearly every trick is hideous in the game. I think the character is a bit too stiff and his hands/arms move a bit too much. Other than these small details, the game is extremely fun and beautiful. I would recommend this to any skater that needs to fill their EA Skate void.

LOVE IT

Best skateboarding game I’ve EVER played (and platform, device, etc.). I actually subscribe to Arcade for this game ALONE. The developers are really cool also, I emailed them a month or so ago and the girl who responded was rad, so thank you for that... My ONLY two nitpicks (and believe you me, I’m really splitting hairs) are 1. Sometimes your skater will involuntarily perform a special trick (it’s a grab, I want to say “airwalk” but I could be wrong re: the actual name of the trick, I DO KNOW however, when VOLUNTARILY doing it you must–either at the top-left or top-right corner–drag down and to the left. Approximately 7:00 on the special trick wheel) and for the rest of your line your skater’s arms stay up and rarely ever go down, mid-tricks. It’s a small annoyance but an annoyance all the same. Lastly, I LOVE the new skateboards and with that said, MORE OPTIONS FOR EVERYTHING would be absolutely the best. I’m talking: different glasses, clothes, accessories, wheels, you name it. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, I’ve grown pretty tired of just LA, Olso, and Barca. Two suggestions re: the environments, EITHER a: extend the playing field significantly, change it (but not entirely), OR (my favorite suggestion) simply add two-three more cities so thrash. Other than that, CONGRATS GUYS. EXCELLENT GAME. (BTW, I NEVER write reviews so that, in-and-of-itself, speaks volumes to how much I enjoy playing it). THANK YOU GUYS!!

Listen up

So i really really like this game but... it needs some changes. First i would say that you should earn in game credits in higher amounts as the challenges become more difficult and require more upgrades. The challenges should increase in difficulty as you compleat them per map starting with #1 as the easiest and getting harder as you compleat more challenges. When you go to/buy a new map the difficulty needs to reset with the easiest starting at 1 again. As i mentioned before, skate cred (in game currency) needs to have a progression in amount you earn when completing harder challenges. This is especially important seeing as YOU made it necessary to upgrade your stats to compleat harder challenges. This way of getting through the game is fine for a mobile game as long as the amount of skate cred you earn increases alongside the higher cost of upgrades and cosmetics. Good game but i would take these things into consideration. Sorry if it was long and wordy. Thanks.

Recommend 🤩🤩🤩

Best game on the Apple Arcade! If you like all sports I would recommend getting skate city and “Big Time Sports” Both of these games are very entertaining. My favorite part of skate city is that you can take videos of your character skating by tapping the camera button and you can change your avatar by going to the right of the button to play and you can buy (with fake money from the game) new hair/hair colors, shoes, skateboard, wheels, and other stuff. Big Time Sports also has cool features like it gives you a daily challenge for instance today’s was high diving. The weird thing about Big Time Sports is that the characters are all very very VERY FAT! And you cannot customize your avatar, it changes the character randomly for every sport on the game. But I really really recommended the games! 👍👍👍 GO DOWNLOAD IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Disappointing after a while and impossible to upgrade

Beat the game pretty quick and whats the point of putting things that are impossible to acquire? Gold trucks? Clothing ? Why keep playing for coins if there aren't enough and since there is zero updates from developers its seems clear that there wont be anymore levels. Its just frustrating that the game its impossible to finish so whats the point of the game?? To play till the end to half finish? Cant think of any game that every single mission/challenge its accomplished and not even half of upgrades are open. And going around the level for endless loops its the most boring monotonous challenge i ever had to finish, specially in a game with glitchy controls. Seriously if i knew that finishing challenges would be pointless i wouldn't even had try. Also some people skate goofy and that is something every skate game has the option to customize. Also no way to change the camera angle. In conclusion for something so highlighted and pushed in the AppStore skatecity its an unfinished, repetitive game with zero point to complete the challenges.

Perfectly awesome, could be a little better

Overall, this game is awesome. I love all of the mechanics, and it flows amazingly. I found this after scrolling through Apple Arcade, and after the initial download, I was hooked. The graphics seem similar to triple A games that you can get for a console or PC, but more of a sideswiping arcade game. I also love the music, as it flows through the whole game (I personally think that Tokyo’s music is the best), and I also enjoy the challenges that pro-skate has to offer. My only requests are that there are more cities to explore, and different parts of cities to explore, like you have the option to go in certain routes. I’d also like a few more grinds and tricks, but overall this game is amazing, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone who loves skateboarding.

BEAUTIFUL but...

This game will definitely fill the void that EA Skate series have left in our lives, and is definitely the best skating game offered on iOS. Now, due to playing many games where in game currency/credits are basically a rip off, I decided to spend all my newly earned Skate Cred purely on aesthetics, believing I wasn’t going to get addicted and want to progress too far (boy, was I wrong). I ended up getting everything from shoes to sunglasses and left my pockets with very little Skate Cred. Unfortunately I didn’t know Skate Cred is EXTREMELY scare. Completing challenges and activities in endless mode didn’t feel too rewarding after receiving only a small amount of SC, even for the really tough activities that require you to spend 1000 SC on special tricks. My addiction to this game was insane, considering I bought the subscription just for this game two nights ago. However, I can’t feed into my addiction anymore because all I have is 2490 SC and i can’t purchase the next map because I have to purchase a 1000SC trick to receive only about 500SC in return. Basically all i’m saying is to get a 5 star rating, I think there should be a fix to gain a bit more SC per challenge/activity or other ways to achieve SC or a way to sell all my clothes because of all the regret I feel so wasting all my SC! Thanks, from a new fan!

Pro Skate Pop Meter is a Revelation

This is far and away my favorite game in the Apple Arcade library. I never would have guessed a side scrolling skate game could work so well and be so much fun but this developer found a way to make it happen. My favorite addition is the Pro Skate section in LA. The trick pop meter makes the game a LOT more fun to play. My only suggestion is for the devs to add the trick pop meter to every level and every game mode. I’m not a programmer and I haven’t a clue how much of a challenge a change like this would be but I think it’s worth the effort. Also; add some new gear to the skate shop! I’ve purchased basically everything and I have lots more money to waste on $10,000 trucks and the like. Love the game. Thanks for making it and thanks for the recent updates.

An incredible game

Wow. FINALLY just three starred every challenge and I wish there were so many more! I learned so much about skateboarding through the callout challenges and I like how as you play you start to understand all the nuance at play. The cops in Miami are really speedy for some reason, but the hardest challenge for me was “gotta knock ‘‘em all” in Japan. But finally getting it was sick! SUGGESTIONS: I thought the music was a little lacking. It would be cool if the music was inspired by the area you are skating in. And I NEED more areas and more challenges. But if I never get them, that’s ok, this game has already provided so much. Thank you for this, best mobile experience I’ve ever had. Now I’m off to find something to fill the skateboard shaped void in my heart.

Update BUY GAME NOW

So I did like how the game you had to buy your upgrades and no adds, even tho that is just a Apple Arcade thing it doesn’t ask. You also know how games ask to rate the app, this app dose not do that. I am a young skater and this is a very accurate game, cops rarely witch makes it fun, and like if you hit something it will actually show what would happen in real life and not just a ‘’GAME-OVER” . It is definitely the best skater game that you can buy, I also don’t do these reviews a lot. BUY support him it takes about 790mg of storage and it’s worth it for kids and adults to get into skating. There is opsticals when you come across a cop and fun challenges. There is also different city’s and modes I hope this was helpful, BYE

Kind of depressing now that I think about it

I haven’t had my meds yet today so who knows, but I want to like it so much more than I do. Should there be a definitive, unit-moving, paradigm-shifting skateboarding game on iOS? You bet. Is this it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Like you can’t even customize your guy or your deck or anything off the bat. You gotta do dumb stuff you already know how to do except arrhythmically to earn space bucks, and is that really all there is to it? If I wanted to move my fingers in one of eight different directions and pretend I was a big boy at the Moving Horizontally To The Right party I could save myself a lot of trouble by just getting a tech deck. If I seem mean it’s only because, like I said, I just want it to be good. I want to love this thing I really do. But I think maybe I just love the idea of it. Good enough for $4.99 a month I GUESS but time is money and I’ve got monsters and creeps to stab in the face and neck babey

Amazing game with good mechanics

I really enjoy this game, the controls are simple but hard to master, skating feels fresh with how simplistic it is to do tricks. I really enjoy this game, however there are a couple of things I think would be really cool to see added. I would love more maps, maybe a busy street where you’re skating on the sidewalk, or one during the sunset. I also think it would be cool to have licensed artists music used in game, for example Tyler the creator, he has had a huge impact on skating and skate culture, even appearing once in a tony hawk game, I think it would be cool to tracks off of cherry bomb and flower boy and have them in game. It would also be cool to perhaps have odd future or golf le fleur items in game. Overall great game.

I love playing this game

The combination of the chill-laidback tracks, easy to learn and implement tricks, and how it seems I’m always skating at sunset is just the coolest. It’s very therapeutic for me. It’s like EA’s Skate, but made for iPhone. The way the progression system is set up always keeps me looking for another task to mark off the checklist. When I play, I prefer the touchscreen controls. I’ve used the controller (xb1, ps4, and nimbus. I’ve used all three) and I just can’t master that as easy. Normally, I prefer playing with a controller whenever possible. This just goes to show the developers put a lot of care into how the game will feel in your hand on a mobile device. When people ask me what they should try for Apple Arcade, Skate City is the first one I recommend.

Beautiful, but really buggy

The game itself is beautiful and features some of the most recognizable spots in the skate world. The controls are pretty well done, which I found delightfully surprising. Soundtrack is great as well. On an aesthetic level I find this game very enjoyable. However... When playing the game my phone gets really hot and my battery drains very quickly If I play for more than about 10 minutes the game starts to drop frames, then eventually crashes I’ve fallen through the level geometry multiple times esp. at the small ramp down just before the fountain in Oslo. On a few occasions I have touched the restart button before a race has ended (when I can see clearly that I’m not going to win) but my character did a powerslide past the end flag. My character reset to the beginning of the race, but the game was still in the ‘race end’ state, so maybe a second went by and the screen overlay popped up with the race results, so I had to restart again. Lighting at night makes it nearly impossible to see certain obstacles The AI in the race and security chase challenges seems a bit unstable, making the challenges seem inconsistent and a frustrating in a way that seems unfair to the player. Unfortunately this is a trend in game dev recently. I can see how one or two of these things could slip by. But this game, in it’s current state, is not finished (please see App Store Review Guidelines)

Please Add A Few Features

Overall this is really well made and a lot of fun. Please add overcrooks and feebles. You could do hold top left and top right for overcrook and bottom left and bottom right for feebles or something along those lines. There are a few strange bugs, none are majorly game breaking, but it won't register any grind input if you try to 360 into it, it almost always forces a 50-50, sometimes a slide if you over rotate. Would love to see that fixed, and there seems to be an issue with the character model if filming and you fall while doing a rotation the body bugs out and keeps rotating from the waist up when in the air doing a rotation after the initial fall. This bug only seems to be fixed from closing the app and re-opening. If feebles and overcrooks were added this would be 5-star for sure.

Some ideas

This is a beautiful game and there’s nothing else like it, but I have some idea’s to add to this fabulous game. I’m a skateboarder myself and when I skateboard I like to cruise and turn or even kick turn but that’s not the case for this game. Don’t get me wrong as I said it’s great but I just have some ideas to add on the this game. I know I see other directions in these maps in the game but I can’t go because I can’t turn. Here’s my other idea. There’s a lot of skate street maps but not enough skate parks and my idea is that you can add some ramps maybe some drop in’s but that’s my idea I’m not telling you to do it. That’s it beautiful game it’s great but you elaborate onto great things and make them better.

Best of Apple Arcade!

This app is one of the best games I’ve played on a mobile device/Apple TV. The graphics are nice without being too realistic or distracting. Levels and challenges are fun. Customization lets you bring a little of your personality to the game. Personally, I was dealing with tremendous anxiety and depression when this first launched in Apple Arcade. I would head to the Los Angeles map on endless mode and just skate to the amazing sound track. The combination of the music and weather changes(rain, fog, cloudy) was so calming. Got me through a tough time. Honestly a must have if you subscribe to Apple TV. I would rate this the #1 game on the platform. Keep up the great work dev team! Can’t wait to see any expansions/sequels or what you have next!

Good but frustrating

I’m gonna keep this short and to the point. The game is very beautiful and fun to play around with. I love the grind of trying to 3 star every mission, but sometimes this game just isn’t clear with instructions and doesn’t give you must description on how to do certain tricks. Also, certain tasks say “kiss the rail” but there’s no tutorial on how to kiss the rail. On top of that, some tasks will say to do certain tricks in certain areas but there’s no clear description as to where you are on the map and that leads to a lot of guessing. One of my tasks says to Melon Grab the gap in Carlsbad, not knowing where the Carlsbad gap is, I melon grabbed over every gap in the map and still haven’t accomplished the task. 8/10 game but too many problems with description and tutorial to give it a 9 or 10.

This game is fun

This game is amazing, I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time playing it and it’s so good I’m even writing a review. So if it’s so great, why four stars not five? Well it can be improved. First is the slam cam, I wanna see those gnarly bone breaking skull crushing ragdoll slams, but it fades to black as soon as it gets good. Two, a session marker, so you wouldn’t have to move the drop point every time and respawn where you want too. I also think more locations would be fun, so I don’t get bored and to familiar with the layouts, making the tutorial as another world seems like a good idea. The skaters style could also use some improvement, maybe customization like loose, angry, stiff, styles. And the last and most important thing BOARDSLIDES AND LIPSLIDES, where are they! It’s ridiculous they’re amazing tricks and key components to skating.

Wonderful game but..

It’s a wonderful game all around really the aspects are amazing and board movements are good as well. I would like to see more “legendary tricks” per-say like the hospital flip and things of the sort. An online mode containing like freeroam, races and challenges, head to head or group settings and more customizable trucks. There’s a very wide range and assortment on everything but the trucks. It would be nice to see a “customizable board” to where you have a preset decals and a rgb board to change the base color of the board and decals etc. this is a really great game that’s already high in the standard but still has so much room for potential, big props to the developer

Good app, needs work

I’ve done game testing for a skate app before, I’m not a professional by any means. That being said, I love this game and the way they put it together for the most part. I give it three stars only because the controls lack... control. If you don’t perform the trick in complete perfection then it doesn’t count for your score. The trick bubble is too small for how the areas are set up, I do like a game that is challenging. However when I have to try a simple trick 10x’s over because the development wasn’t tested as much as it should’ve been then it becomes frustrating and not as fun. I don’t want to take away from the developers by any means, I just think they could have taken their time with the opening of this game. I’m hoping to change this to a 5 star as soon as I can. Good luck with the updates! Make us proud.

Incredible game for Apple Arcade

I joined Apple Arcade to try all types of great new games, however I find myself spending the most time in this one. As a big fan of the early Tony Hawk franchise (never played the “Skate” series much) this game scratches the same itch with its multiple maps/courses, and varied goals/missions. The goals can get challenging, but are so rewarding to complete once you gain the skill to complete them. I’m working to get 3 stars on all, as well as complete all goals in free skate, and it has presented a serious challenge that keeps me coming back for more. Looking forward to seeing more for this game, in the way of tricks, maps, etc. Multiplayer could also be really fun if they implemented it well.

Very Fun Game

This game, off the bat, is fun. Admittedly, I booted up the game first and thought it was annoying to earn money to unlock stuff like customization. You earn money by doing missions, and after the first mission I realized, “Wow, you earn money pretty fast.” If you do a mission perfectly (3 stars) you get 600 of the currency. You get 100 for one star, 200 for the next star, and 300 for the third (adding up to 600). It leaves easy room for customizations yet the missions aren’t so easy to give you 3 starts on your first attempt. This game requires you to complete the tutorial and the first 9ish missions for you to realize how fun it is. I played begrudgingly for the first 45-60 minutes, but after that I easily wasted 2 more hours into it. I personally am not a fan of the character stat upgrades. For every time you upgrade a stat, the next upgrade of that same stat is 200 more (200 then 400 then 600 and so on). Facing these make you feel considerably underpowered when you discover this and I am just not a fan. It isn’t bad design, just something I didn’t like and one might want to be weary of. Overall, great game, don’t hesitate if you want to get this. It won’t be a waste

Please update

So basically let me start out with this I pay for Apple Arcade for this game and solely it! So I find myself torn at this point. This game is in desperate need of a update, the mechanics of the person a little out of tune, the trick selection needs to update there should be a flip trick to grab option, boardslide, lipslide, salad grind, feeble could easily be added since you sort of have these variations already in the game! There needs to be more options of play, 4 cities is not enough! And with the amount of time since adding Miami, is passed the honeymoon stage and now down right boring. Now I don’t even care if you add more cities but give us something fake spots would be a welcome change to things a endless skatepark I don’t know but something needs to be done!

Modern day Skate but simplified for mobile....

To start off.... This game is amazing. The controls are simple to learn yet hard to master. The game offers endless hours of fun if you love skateboarding and love to work on lines and perfecting style. While the game is fun, there are a few areas that could be improved on such as adding momentum and a bit more control in film mode. One of my favorite features in the popular Skate franchise was the instant replay feature, while this game does feature a filming mode, you are very limited to the angles and control over the clips. Adding the ability to film, rewind and move camera around afterwords would greatly improve this mechanic. I look forward to futures updates and will keep playing this game till my thumbs go sore....

Great game, need fixing.

On multiple occasions I’m unable to do the tricks in the 6-7-8pm times respective to the trick wheel. When I’m a challenge to do certain tricks in a row, the game glitches and won’t let my pull down on the trick wheel. Though it was my big phone case (I have an iPhone 13mini) but even after taking the case off, I’m still having this problem. The thing is, the trick wheel will fully work for a run or 2, then my next challenge I do I’m unable to pick the tricks on the trick wheel at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm when comparing to a clock. This is for both FRONT and BACK of the board: ie: I can’t do a hard flip or a Nollie hard flip AT ALL and a few other tricks. Fix this and I’ll give 5 stars cause this is seriously frustrating for such a fantastic game. It’s physically unplayable when I’m on the hard flip trick challenge.

So solid. Please keep updating to keep it that way!

I want to start off by saying that this game is so so so amazing. I think the devs have done an incredible job. It made me realize that phone gaming can actually be fun and even a first choice now not just out of convenience. All that to say however, I decided to try it on iPad today and noticed for some reason that the beautiful graphics from the phone don’t translate to tablet. Everything was very pixelated. Not sure why the drastic difference, but I would love it if it were updated 🙏 these beautiful scenes deserve to bemarveled at and appreciated on the bigger screens too. And also new items/maps would be a super PLUS. Thx for making a sick game that is really great at chilling anxiety levels!

Amazing, but touch controls aren’t adequate for the technicality of some of the tricks.

Especially for the line challenges, it really helps to have an Xbox One controller hooked up. On the other hand, some moves are much harder with the controller than with touch controls. With touch, the balance mechanic is much more forgiving and special tricks that utilize the upper two quadrants of the touch screen are MUCH easier than trying to get them right with the bumper buttons on the Xbox One controller. Mix and match for best results. I ADORE this game. Whenever I get frustrated, I put it down for a while, but then I’m back at it—trying to nail a line or challenge that had previously bested me. Please make a sequel or add content!

I WANT MORE!!!

Ditto to all the other reviewers that hit the nail on the head with this game filling the current void of Skate games. Graphics, controls, etc are all high quality and intuitive. This game hits the sweet spot including an achievable yet challenging, but also engaging progression system that incents you to keep playing, but you don’t mind because it’s so much fun! The only complaint I have is that there aren’t more levels. Once I got through what the game had to offer in terms of levels I’ve rarely gone back, but I’m also patiently stalking the updates for new content because it was that good. Looking forward to more and highly recommend if you’re on the fence.

Control optimization

This game has the potential to be in amazing game. The downfall in this game is that asks for you to be almost perfect in your execution of tricks. As you get further into the game it gets progressively harder and do to the current control system, it gets really really really annoying. The stat system doesn’t feel like it makes a difference for the amount of points you have to spend to buy each bar. I leveled up my balance 3 bars and for some reason the balance is even more sensitive and I fall off easier, I hope they fix this, overall graphic are cool for a mobile game and soundtrack is pretty repetitive but solid for a skate game like this. I’m not saying don’t download, I am saying be ready to put in some hours fine tuning the control experience.

Great game, few suggestions

I love this game, and love the different outfits. But I have a few suggestions. I think that there should be more challenges for each city. It would also be cool if there was special modes like infinite race, or cop chase, maybe even a 3D mode. These suggestions would make the game so much better so please consider them. I also have a question, how do you unlock more customizations for your skater, I saw stuff in the trailers that I am not currently able to get. Like different hairstyles, and different types of glasses. Thx! And plz consider my suggestions as they would make the game a lot less boring. Any who, this is a great Apple Arcade game and good job 👏

Love and suggestions

I really enjoy this game sooo much! I love the way it looks, the relaxation of it, the realness of it, everything. I just wish that you guys had more girly clothes options. Like some skirts and maybe different body types. I kind of feel like the girl character is only representing the tom-boyish girls. I hope that isn’t coming off as I’m complaining cause I truly love love love the game. Everything is perfect. It would just be nice to style the girl in a girly girl way for the girls who are more skirts type of girls who skate :)) thank you so much for all you guys hard work on this game cause it’s amazing. Also, what if you guys add roller skates as an option. That would be so cool to do as well.

Good game

Progression system is great. You can buy cool stuff right away but there is always more to unlock. The game play is good and utilizes the touch screen of the phone phenomenally. Skate city was made for the iPhone. This is how all mobile games should be like. Honestly you took something bad (mobile games) and used the phone to your advantage by making this game. The controls are inventive and it really makes it a pleasant game to play. The art style is great and give a skating type vibe. The customization is great and I can only hope other developers learn from this amazing game and create more games like it. Good job

READ THIS NOW

It is so so so so so so fun and i’m trusting this is like the best you should definitely play it if you want because it is so interesting and fun to play you get to use these different tricks and if you want a skateboard they can actually help you but if you’re in trouble I can also help you, but it’s not that yeah it is so fun you just need to try it. I’m in love with this game and you try to like try to like move away and there’s different challenges as you do. Sometimes you don’t get good stars I just restart and it gets super easy and easy it’s like the best you need to try it oh yeah bye.

LOVE THIS GAME

I don’t play many games but this one is awesome and most true to what skateboarding is compared to the many other games out there. One thing that I don’t like about this game that I wish you all could fix is the crispness in the controls. When doing certain challenges and tricks on the nollie side, it’s never consistent to where you press. Some times you could do a trick perfectly in the challenge, but because of the bad controls, sometimes it doesn’t pick up whether you did it correct or not. That’s the only thing I don’t like. I know I’m doing the right thing but it says it wrong anyways. If you fix this and add more cool features, this game would definitely get a 5 out of 5 rating.

BEsT gAMe EvEr!!!! 😁

So, I got really into skating, got a skateboard and actually got like, mediocre 😐 anyway I thought that it would be cool to get a skating game, and my mind was blown! 🤯 literally so good, graphics are amazing and very clan and precise 😌 there was so many different tricks and combos you could do 😎 as well as personalization which was also very good, And it made it very easy to earn coins!🤑 and the possibility most AMAZING thing about it is there is not a single add pop-up or video in the entire system! 😆😆😆 I haven’t seen a addles game in forever! This game is amazing would DEFINITELY recommend. 😊

Beautiful game, but falls short

The graphics are very nice, colors and art style are this game's highpoints. If everything else matched the game's graphics this would be a 5 star review. The controls leave a lot to be desired while I initially liked how simple it was to swipe and land a trick its inherently frustrating during certain challenges which require specific tricks to be performed where one wrong swipe could end your line. The soundtrack is garbage, listen to your own music if you must and the sfx are generic and not the most pleasant. It's a great game to kill a few minutes with but as a whole gets boring very quickly. Not much replay value but it's decent playthrough. If you're an iPhone gaming veteran and looking for a worthy sequel to skate 3, this is not it.

Fun game, few bugs

I’ve really been enjoying the gameplay experience on Skate City. The tricks are fun to learn to do and the controls are not difficult to master. The challenges are fun especially the call out challenges. The graphics aren’t amazing but not bad so still enjoyable. My only gripe is I have been having a number of bugs. Sometimes the game refuses to go past the credits to the main menu even after quitting the app several times. Placing the skater can be stuttery or case freezing. And sometimes the skateboard disappears after placing the skater and doing a few tricks. Hope an update will address these issues soon. Otherwise, love the game. Great way to past the time.

Kind of slow

I don’t have that much to add. It’s a fine side scrolling skateboarding game with a simple trick system, an endless run mode, and some challenges. The only reason I’m writing this review is because there’s one huge gripe that ruins the whole experience. So here it is: The worst part of skateboarding, in my opinion, is having to constantly push in order to keep moving. I guess the developers love this aspect because you can not do anything unless your right thumb is held on the screen. There is zero momentum and it just leads to a very unsatisfying experience. This is surprising because Snowman’s previous boarding game, Alto’s Adventure, had none of this. I guess it’s different since this game takes place in urban cities instead of steep hills but even then, normal skateboarding does not require this much pushing. The end result just makes the whole experience boring. I wish this wasn’t the case because I love Alto’s Adventure and I was so looking forward to Snowman’s newest outing but after this disappointment, I’m just looking forward to playing Where the Cards Fall. Im sorry, this just wasn’t my thing.

Beautiful Game; Hard to Master

I am loving this. I grew up with Tony Hawk games and for them to be as popular with the millennials as they were, it seems kinda strange that there are absolutely no (or at least very few) sports games anymore for anything. Especially when it comes to snowboarding and skateboarding. I downloaded this just to try it out as I’ve gotten apple one now. And I have to say I’m quite amazed. The skating isn’t quite as free as a Tony Hawk game but I’m not gonna complain about it. It’s very relaxing and nice to look at. The music is great as well and it sounds fantastic over my HomePods. That said, it’s very hard. The controls are nothing like Tony Hawk games and that’s what I’m apparently trying to do when I skate. Manualing, for instance, just doesn’t feel right. I’m learning though. Just feels a little less intuitive than a Tony Hawk game. I also hope for more selections of hair. My guy looks kinda weird/ugly because skater customization is lacking. But all in all it’s a fun time waster. I can’t complain.

This Game is… Stunning!

I have been playing this game for a little under 2 weeks now and I am loving it. This game is truly a splendid work of art. If there was a bit more avatar customization options in the skate shop, I think I would love this game all the better. This game truly speaks for itself in terms of appeal and control and I completely respect the developers of the game who made it so darn accurate as I have been skating for a sizable portion of my life. This game is one of my personal favorites on mobile and I’m very exited to see even more in the future!

Pretty awesome

It’s a good app for adventure and skill also attention to detail some of the challenges are Willy nilly but some are very in depth if not you could use some more maps as soon as I finish up all of the challenges in all of the maps then there is kinda nothing to do but still fun to play overall and if you want to play go right ahead but at first don’t just give up it is a little hard to understand at first just push through the first 10 minutes but yet again overall very good for Apple Arcade

AWESOME

First of all, I love this. I. LOVE. THIS. It’s fun, fast-paced, and almost has no bugs when I play it. I got this when I was bored, and had nothing to do. But then, I saw it. The perfect game (this one, of course!) When I first got this, I thought, “Wow. This is weird.” But obviously I was wrong. This game is not weird at all. Maybe different, but good. Since I loved it, I shared it with by friends, and now all they want to play is this game! Thank you so much for this game! But, there is one glitch. Whenever I play it, it takes forever to load! But overall, it’s so fun!
