Skating in a Sandbox
Sun Sep 26 2021 BR0BISkate Space is a wonderful mobile skating game, and I’m surprised it’s free. Though there are a very limited number of tricks and character customization options, Skate Space makes up for it in the infinite park creation and numerous challenges. If the challenges are too hard, or you just can’t get a feel for creation mode, you can still play others’ maps.
The only issue with Skate Space is that it’s very buggy. Coffin into a large decked quarter pipe at a moderate speed and see what happens. You can also ride infinitely on a wall if you Ollie onto it at a low angle, which isn’t necessarily bad, but is annoying when Ollie-ing down a ramp next to a wall. It’s also incredibly difficult to simply ride up a ramp, do a trick in the air, then land back on the same ramp because the air-tricking/flipping physics can be troublesome.
The online competition feature is tricky, especially when getting points to knock someone off his/her board, and flatland-tricking gets so many more points than grinding and flipping over things, that it just seems unfair to whoever tries to compete on the rails/ramps.
The infinite potential for content far outweighs the bugs and unbalanced competition, though, so Skate Space is definitely 5-star in my book.
Good time waster, subpar game
Fri Nov 13 2020 rush357753Fun game to waste time, good enough to try. There are sooo many problems though. Skating feels so clunky and unnatural. The trick stick is a good idea but falls very short of success, sometimes unresponsive and half the time unpredictable. Physics are inconsistent on what will happen while trying to land on a rail to grind, it might work, you might stop, you might fly off into space... who knows. On the flying into space aspect, holy cow the skate comps are terrible and based off of luck and what tricks you’ve been lucky enough to get out of their loot box style system, no skill needed. Randomly drop into the map in various spots where you may lose 15 secs on setup,meaning, you lose. Another skater bumps you... off to space with you! 20 secs lost.... you lose. Tricks ranging from useless 50 points to literally easily chain thousands of points. It’s 100% vicious pay to win since the only way to get tricks is to overcome those horrendously broken competitions over and over in a progressively growing goal to have a loot box chance at a decent trick, with limited try’s allowed per day of course. Or pay $20 for 11 trick chances, which may also just turn out to be duplicates of garbage tricks that will do nothing for you.
Fantastic Game but.....
Sun Sep 20 2020 sashwattaudooen?I really like the game but I really wish that there could be an offline mode where you could like play offline by yourself sort of like a practice mode. Also maybe add a little more customization. I have my ideas below.
Ideas for Practice Mode
In this mode you could like ride around on the regular default park without other players or CPU. Also during offline mode you won’t be able to do most things like customize levels or the park but you could still customize the character and pick out different boards to ride on.
Customization
The customization is nearly perfect. Customization for the character is great but for the board... well there needs to be more. Also I don’t really get how the “X” currency works and how you get it so maybe just get rid of it and make everything in the game free but like you have to buy the game to play it (maybe like $0.99). Or be extra kind and make everything free including the game. But you to actually make something off the game maybe have some items locked behind an amount of ads you had to watch, for example to get a golden skateboard you would need to watch 30 ads or something. You could do this with outfits too.
In conclusion great game worth playing. Hopefully the devs have read this review and maybe consider adding the changes I’ve talked about. Have a great rest of your day and thanks for easing this review!
Almost perfect just a few more things please
Wed Oct 14 2020 Swagby019If you could add more grinds like crooked grind, 5-0, nose grind,
Smith, hurricane, blunt slide, and even custom grinds. Then like the obstacle score challenges that u can play when you start out, you could add weekley or monthly challenges for coin or make 3 levels of difficulty on each spot the harder it is the more coin u gain. Also the main other skate parks to play are always the same ones No matter how many people play your park my park never gets added to the main 12 each day and dont allow people with stock parks that you start with to upload there park because so many people do that which causes my park that ive spent hours building gets pushed off the list within 10 minutes. And finally a few more online modes would be cool like score attack on a full park. Maybe matching a line someone does or objectives.
Fun but... (to the devs)
Sun Sep 08 2019 MinStakerThe game is really fun according to how you play it, but really is the stamina necessary? To me it shouldn’t be there because the devs are pretty much asking you to stop playing and i keep on waiting after a while and it’s finally back up and so i can actually play for like 10 minutes until it runs out and also just for future update ideas you could add ragdoll physics, or you could make it easier to get coins, stamina, and other stuff when you do tricks and also i wish you could add a few natural obsticals like cars, people walking, and just other things but i just wish that the stamina was removed from the game it would make it better for me and many other people who enjoy playing this game. And also i wish you could throw your board and bring it back like in skate 3.
Good but a few bugs
Wed Aug 26 2020 powwowdownThis game is amazing I love every bit of it. It is amazing and unique then different skate games be cause first it is easy to learn! And you can create you own levels so your not stuck with just the creators to rely on new levels! The few bugs that I have came across is that I can join a game and my board will be stuck in the ground and I cant reload out of it. But the one major bug I have found is where I will join the game and I cannot see anything but the controls and chat but even when I restart the game it won’t fix and I have even tried to power off my phone and it still won’t work. I am still stuck with bug and I don’t know how to fix it. I would like someway to fix it. Over all I would rate this a 4 star game but I would rate it a 5 if there was not that major bug.
Thee Best
Fri Jun 16 2023 vcjhgThis is simply THE best skate game for phone
I play it when I can’t skate and it is the next best thing to actually skateboarding, (maybe even better 🫤) it can definitely get me into the zone mentally. some changes I would make wld be to choose goofy or regular stance, and perhaps a first person perspective to make it more fun and realistic. The game has a few minor glitches such as invisible seams in the transition that stop you instantly, but otherwise the gameplay is smooth and semi realistic. The crashes are funny and don’t take too much time away. An excellent game, just needs a few more updates/options and I will give 5 stars for sure!
Ok…
Sun Sep 26 2021 RobtartThere are some things that could be added and fixed. This game is a GREAT time killer, I play this game ALL THE TIME! There’s just some things… -The physics is GARBAGE! -The EX amount for getting coins and credits SHOULD NOT go up by 50 everytime you buy something with EX -There should be a rainbow color circle for the colors -There should be (a small little button) tap to skip button on the ragdoll (crashes), cause some of the crashes are HALARIOUS! -The clothing, boards, ect., NEEDS to be WAY less expensive! -HOW THE HECK DO YOU GET YOUR PARK ON PICKUP!? -EX NEEDS to be easier to get! -NEEDS MORE CUSTOMIZATION! (VYNILS!) That’s all MY thoughts! I WOULD LOVE EVERYTHING ON THIS TO BE ADDED TO EVERY "SPACE" GAME! PLEASE READ, RESPOND, AND ADD UPDATES TO YOUR SPACE GAMES! KEEP IT UP!
Great Game! But Needs Work
Fri Jun 05 2020 MiKeSwItCh_YTi think this game is really great and i’ve been playing it for a while so i’m sure i know what needs work. i don’t know why but it’s such a struggle to get coins to buy skins or decks, it’ll take me at least 2 weeks. please boost the amount of ex you get visitors and other things. i feel like it shouldn’t have to be that hard to get something in the game and when you do get it, it’ll take you back to square 1 basically. also one more thing. controls at the start were very hard for me but after a while i got used to them. when you run and i try to turn around, i have to wait for my player to turn his full body.
Annoying
Tue May 10 2022 booboodaddy11The game is fun in some ways but the online battles absolutely ruin it. The controls are terrible, it’s nearly impossible to play sometimes because the game will glitch and then you lose a battle just because it failed… not to mention you only get 10 battles per day so if the game glitches and you have to close the app (which happens literally every other time i go to play), it still takes away that battle. And the online battles are so tedious to even play because if another player hits you, you go flying across the screen. Very frustrating because it’s one of the main sources of coin! The game has already glitched twice to where i had to delete the app altogether (throwing away all my data).
