True Skate

True Skate is a skateboarding game where you control the board through an instant, unified physics system. You swipe to set the position, direction and strength of each movement; timing, precision, angle and late corrections all affect how the board responds. Rather than triggering tricks with preset gestures, you perform each part yourself and build skill by learning how the physics works.

Control the board

The same flick can produce different results depending on where you make it on the skateboard. The board responds in real time as you push, pop, flip and grind, with the player’s feet and the board’s movement connected. Any trick is possible, but performing it depends on your control of the board.

Learn through practice

At MACBA, friendly characters guide you through tutorials on pushing, popping, flipping and grinding. You can practice grinds and flow at The Valley, work on transitions and gaps in The Warehouse, or build air, speed and spins at Mondo Ramp. Improving takes practice, dedication, skateboarding knowledge and split-second timing.

Procedural animation

The game uses procedural animation to blend motion-captured skateboarder movements into real-time character animations. This supports a wide range of tricks, including new ones, without relying on predefined gestures or canned animations.
