Touchgrind Skate 2

Play this app pretty regularly since it’s launch many years ago. It reminds me of EA Skate a bit in that it has much more realistic feel to it, especially compared to the other skate games for iOS. It’s also a bit buggy in spots, the board will drop through the map in corners and a lot of times you don’t get points for multiple combo tricks when pulled off in the air or you go into a late flip or underflip. The last map to be released “motel” is extremely uninspired and boring compared to some of their other maps. I hope their working on an a new and updated version of the game as it has a pretty great physics engine that can be quite addictive. Would love to see a Skate 3 where you have obstacles set up that resemble toys and other miniature fingerboard ramps.

So basically, the game itself is really fun and I find my self playing it when I am bored. I also think my game glitched because one day I got on the game and I had every map unlocked and I had not bought anything. I beat all the challenges and unlocked everything and it was really fun. It was only a few day ago that I started questioning what my stance was. I used my right hand to play so I thought I was goofy. I also swiped right to kick flip just like irl on a real skateboard. But when I would go to do a frontside 180 on a mini ramp I would Ollie going left up the ramp and the trick name would say I did a backside 180. Also when I would do a backside power slide, I would swipe to the right. I just don’t think the trick namer thing knows what trick I’m actually doing. Otherwise, this game is awesome. It has good physics and nice graphics. Oh I also wish the game had more than a few grinds and slides. Like when I would go to do a lip slide, it would say I did a boardslide. I also wish there were some trick nicknames in the game as well. Like if i would do a double varial heel I would like it to say I did a daydream flip. I really don’t care though and I know this game is kinda old but yea, if you’re looking for a decent skateboarding game on mobile, then this is a good game for you.

First of all, this is a great game. It’s very well polished and easily one of the best skater games out there. However, I do have a few suggestions on how to improve this game. Please consider adding an option to create your own skate maps for others to play. It would add a new aspect to the game and give creators a platform to be creative. Another suggestion would be to add the S.K.A.T.E game mode to the playground map. This way, more people are able to compete against each other online, therefore increasing the amount of players that download the game. Last but not least, be more involved with the community of this game. For example, host community events for prizes or add a limited game mode to encourage people to play more. If you’ve read this, I hope I’ve given you some ideas for future updates for the game. Thank you for listening to my opinion and please consider these suggestions.

A tough learning curve. It took me some to to be able to hard flips on demand. But I got em now. I don't think I will ever be able to do impossibles. Still haven't figured out how to not do either a 5-0, nose grind, 5050 or board slide.I love this game and I really hope enough people support a the next version. Areas to improve. I think there should be a way to maintain more speed. Sometimes you bump into things and it's too easy to lose speed. Maybe you can push like you would on a normal board. Of course it would be cool to have manual tricks. Better flow ability in some of the skate maps. The docks doesn't flow well. It's hard enough to land on the board, we don't need to worry about running into obstacles or walls etc.. the car park and factory are great. Anyways, this has to be the greatest touch game ever made. Only skaters will have the patients to figure it out. THAT MEANS IT's GREAT!

This is definitely one of, if not the best skate game(s) on the App Store right now. Although, there is always room for improvement. I have been playing this game for over a year, and it is truly addicting. It flows well, and covers a lot of aspects within skateboarding. A couple ideas that I would like to see added to this game in future updates are: manuals (maybe swiping down or up on the nose or tail in mid-air to land into manuals), 180 tricks on flatground (maybe setting the direction and amount of spin before you pop with a button on the side), grinds where the board dips below the ledge or rail (ie. feeble, smith, willy), and lastly frontside and backside grinds (ie. frontside crooked grind v. backside crook). Thank you for making this game, and hopefully, it can improve.
