All of Skateboarding In The Palm Of Your HandDesigned by skaters for skaters, we teamed up with 20 of the most prominent brands in skating to create the game every skater has been waiting for:Powerful And Intuitive ControlUse your fingers to directly control your shoes and board. Controls have been carefully designed to highlight the things that are most fun and important in actual skating, with a strong focus on flow of tricks and runs.Every Trick Is PossibleThis is the first touch-based skating game to include the full range of street tricks. Jump from Ollie, Switch, Fakie and Nollie and perform all standard flip tricks; with the inclusion of body rotations you can even do tricks such as Front-Side Flips and Big Flips. Get even more tech with recent updates which now include Late Flips, Reverts, Ghetto Birds, Impossibles, Dolphin Flips, Dragon Flips and Gazelles. Chain everything together with manuals, nose manuals and every kind of grind and slide.Share And Discover RunsSkater allows you to save your favourite trick runs and share them with the world.

    Skater would feel like less of a slog and more of an homage to the sport. It's amazing how well the controls have translated to touch, but the actual game needs a bit of work before every skating fan needs to pick it up.

    Skater is a great attempt to bring the nuance and skill of technical street skating to iOS. The controls are good, the mechanics and real-life skate spots boast a huge amount of replayability, and the core concept of sharing runs – and hence, your individuality – with the world is a sound one. It’s just a shame the social side is implemented with such heavy-handedness.

    Said controls are great, even if they still need a little tinkering, and they’re absolutely worth showing off. However, while what’s here is definitely fun enough to warrant a download, it has the potential to skate to even greater heights.

    Skater is a little lacking and inconsistent to be a really strong choice for sim fans, and it's not arcade-oriented enough for casual players. This is a great first push forward, but the title needs improvement to run with its peers.
