- This concept was a lot of fun! You really embraced the theme and executed it well. While I would have loved the option to play as one of the skaters, it was still enjoyable to watch everything unfold. The interactions between the skaters and the environment were entertaining and added a nice touch of humor to the experience.
- I appreciate the time and programming it would take to get this kind of simulation working. Sometimes the skaters bug out and float into the sky, watching them fall slowly to the ground afterwards was my favourite part and got a laugh out of me. Solid use of the theme, good graphics and in its current state makes a good screen saver!

This was an entertaining entry in this Game Jam. The randomly generated names add a lot of charm to the experience. This feels like a great party game—honestly, perfect for fun gambling-style challenges within a group environment. The map’s visuals and overall art direction are excellent, and skating through a construction site is genuinely enjoyable. The HUD is clean, readable, and well-presented.
My experience would have been even better if the map's terrain changed slightly between rounds to add more variety (i.e., obstacles).
There are some issues with some skaters being able to ride horizontally off the map, but it actually added some unexpected comedy to my experience (so please don’t take that as harsh criticism). I could absolutely see this becoming a Stick Fight: the Game/Gang Beasts–style hit, especially if multiplayer features are added in the future. Also, love the logo treatment but wish it was coloured similarly to the game's colour palette.
Thanks for commenting with such constructive feedback! I'm keen to build this out into a multiplayer game since I laughed so hard watching some of the sessions play out, and it would be a fun experience to share
I'm glad the names worked for you, I wanted to make people invest in the chaos and was inspired by the old game Cannon Fodder where your platoon members all had unique names and would stay with you through missions, making it more impactful when they were lost.
I originally wanted to make a skatepark editor, with bots purely to let you see it in action, but once I got the bots kind of working I didn't have any time left to implement the obstacle placement stuff haha
No offence taken, the comedy of it was cracking me up the whole time and makes me want to be able to share the experience with friends.
Was really hoping for a skateboarding game! Cool art, but shame that there's nothing really for the player to do. Would love to see this fleshed out into a co-op skateboarding battle royale style game!
You're right on the money! Watching these little dudes bounce around like my last few braincells trying to code a skater-bot reminded me of Overcooked, and I decided the next version needs to be a multiplayer skater battle game!
not sure what this premise of this game is?
Valid! At this stage it's more of a toy (my goal starting out was to make it a skatepark/obstacle course creator game with the bots as a way to see your park on action. Ran out of time unfortunately but planning to keep working on this as a multiplayer game!
Was fun watching them made me wish I cloud play it, the visuals are cool and look like a old free games website that I would revisit, maybe a Phone version with online and local co-op would be fun. Keep it up :]
Thanks for commenting! I was originally making a skatepark creator sort of thing but ran out of time after creating the little bots lol. Next step is 100% to revisit the skater-battle concept as a multiplayer game!
Love the look of this. Be a fun game when you can control a character and take out the others or out-survive them on the course. You should keep developing this concept further. Could have bigger maps with harder challenges as you progress. Well done.
Thanks for commenting! Had plans for the main gameplay being the construction of the park, with the little skater bots being secondary, but didn't get as far as the building stuff haha. Feedback to the overall concept has me wanting to make this into something bigger and better!
The Idea was fun and the graphics give a cute feel but the games playability however is quite lacking, When I played it the characters seemed to get stuck or go out of bounds so I would have to restart constantly.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! Had bigger plans but ran out of time unfortunately. Will definitely be building this out into something more playable!
