About Griptape Backbone
You play as a skater on the brink of life and death collecting aesthetics to reach enlightenment in skate-purgatory whilst trying to expiate your sins, help lost souls, find meaning in life and closure in death. A vaporwave experience.
You can literally skate whatever surface you want, kind of like that one city scene in INCEPTION. The game's control scheme is simple and accessible for everyone while also offering the depth to those who want to line up and flick dank tricks whilst controlling their board midair.
A game where you can just skate without even worrying about the objectives and listen to the amazing lineup of songs with the in-game player driven radio from over 25 artists while taking in the open world skate map full of intentional and unintentional great skate spots to discover.

Q: What is VAPORWAVE?
A: Long Answer - Vaporwave is an electronic music subgenre that originated during the early 2010's on the internet. It is characterized by a nostalgic & surrealist fascination with retro design, consumer capitalism, existentialism, and popular culture. Art that embraces low poly, VHS, cassette tapes, Japanese neo tokyo, cyberpunk tropes. Short answer - Slowed down sampling of lounge music, smooth jazz, 80s music, elevator music, and a certain je ne sais quoi. Shorter answer - A lifestyle.
Q: How should I play the game?
A: Just skate, relax, and contemplate your existence.
Q: Will this game fill the immeasurable empty void that is life?
A: /music plays

This game is awesome sauce1 found this helpful

feels like a fever dream but its amazing
An archive of internet meme culture from around the time the was game released. The gameplay is very basic as all you do is collect paper cups [i](1000 to be exact)[/i]. Which is way too much without being able to see the locations of them. On top of that, the controls and physics are completely horrible. If anyone with motion sickness is thinking of playing, I recommend you stay [b]FAR[/b] away
I do not need LSD, I have this.
