I had fun playing this game! :)
I never thought in using the skate theme as this game does, I feel it’s very creative with a great execution, the minigames can be fun but after a while, maybe it can get a bit repetitive to do the basic 4 tricks and I think this depends on what route the player goes, I first did the 4 basic rivals so I didn’t learn any new trick for some time but I think this wouldn’t be much of a problem if I would mixed up with some pros here and there
The minigames variations are also great, I think my favorites are the rock to fakie and the frontside tricks and glad there is a practice room to see the tricks before any match, at the start it was a bit difficult because I didn’t click the area I should click to do the trick, I was clicking the screen instead of the area even if it had an icon next to it that indicated I needed to click the area haha, the spam space is ok and it’s good it don’t require a lot of effort. I think the only suggestion here is to make the yellow indicator a little more dark, it can get lost a bit easily with the white background when the area is small
The debuffs that rivals put on you are great but the only I didn’t like was the shaky legs because it says it will be difficult to do tricks that need the space bar but that shouldn’t mean impossible to do or if they are, indicate it straight. The others are good and would be good ones that force you to do an advance trick or any trick, in general, more punishing ones in late game would be great!
The gameplay overall is good, I wouldn’t mind playing a harder version of this, the late game feels a bit easy or I felt it that way because in 4 turns it was over. Also I feel there isn’t much point in using the advanced tricks, maybe I think that because the effects aren’t that important or special in some way, I know they do stuff but don’t feel they give that many points over the basic tricks, I still use them because it was fun, I could pull a combo with all the advanced and felt nice ^^
The art was great, I really like it, just I would like to see the rivals also do the tricks, I know it would be more work to do but that would be like the cherry on the top in the visuals haha, the music is great and it didn’t felt repetitive and in general, I really see myself playing more of this game, I really like it
Nice entry, happy to play this game and the little story was nice :)
