Three minutes on the clock. Chain flips, grabs and grinds into one line, land it clean, and spend the money on better wheels.

The game

Stay on the board. Keep it going.

Every session is a race to string together the biggest line you can before the clock runs out. Bail, and everything you were building goes with you.

A combo landing in the game: a shockwave ring, confetti and a big points total burst over the skater at sunset.

One line, one landing

Tricks chain together while you're in the air, on a rail or holding a manual. Land it and the combo banks: points, times the number of different tricks, times your style. Do the same trick twice and it's worth half.

A skater mid-kickflip, the board turning upside down beneath their feet, with a quarter pipe behind.

Pop, flip, catch

Hold to crouch, release to ollie: the longer the crouch, the higher you go. Tap for a flip, hold for a grab, tap again mid-flip for a double, and spin as far as you dare. Just be finished before the wheels come down.

A skater grinding along a blue steel rail in a concrete park.

Rails, ledges, coping

Ollie onto anything with an edge and lock in. Steer to hold your balance, pop to hop off, and manual across the flat to reach the next one without ending the line.

Looking down the curved wall of a deep concrete bowl with a skater flying above the coping.

Two levels of concrete

Transitions carry your speed the way real ones do. Pump the deep bowls until you clear the lip, drop back in for another hit, or pop at the top and transfer out onto the deck.

A skater rolling across a wet concrete plaza in the rain, streaks falling past a line of floodlights.

Sunset, floodlights, rain

The sun crosses the sky while you skate. Floodlights come on after dark, and every so often the clouds roll in and the concrete goes dark and glossy.

Install

  • Windows: extract the whole zip and run GG.SKATE.exe, keeping the .pck file beside it. The build isn't code-signed, so if SmartScreen warns you, choose More info, then Run anyway.
  • macOS: extract the zip and open the app. It isn't notarized, so macOS refuses it the first time: choose Done, then System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
  • Android: download the APK on your phone and open it. Android asks you to allow installs from your browser the first time.
