About How I learned to Skate
"This is a story about how I learned to skate. It was hard..."
How I learned to Skate is a desperately difficult ice-skating challenge about a boy learning to skate for the first time, following an increasingly burdensome path, chasing after the girl he could never have.
Gameplay
Control individual legs and body tilt to move the ice-skater with a mouse or a controller. It's simple.
- Raise a leg
- Choose a direction
- Release the leg
- Tilt the body to turn
Additional info
This game is all about learning and mastering a new unique mechanic.
- A challenge with checkpoints.
- Inspired by a Warcraft 3 mod that I love, Polar Escape 5
- Merged together with instantaneous mouse controls from Getting Over It
- Takes roughly 12 hours to complete, depending on how fast you learn. Roughly 3 hours for the demo.

this was made by a psychopath and i dont think i enjoyed a moment of playing this.3 found this helpful
Such a good Awkward control sim, the control are really hard to learn and master, but feel so satisfying once you do. Couple that with the sound design that sounds like you are there and the pretty aspect and its a masterpiece of a game. I only wish i was better at it so i could fully experience it2 found this helpful
Unapologetically brutal. May God help us all.2 found this helpful
While the challenge is the main focus, I have to give some appreciation towards the artistic direction of this game. It looks really pretty and there is a lot of visual variety between sections. The birds eye view you see the game through is really unique and it is used in very clever ways, sometimes adding to the challenge. Great game if you don't mind the brutal difficulty, my first completion was in 11:33:52, with 2,616 falls!1 found this helpful
Positives: I found the movement incredibly elegant once it had clicked and the atmosphere is lovely. The game's charming and fun! Anyway I'm a pessimist so here's a big chunk of criticisms: Most levels felt outright spiteful, but I think the reality is that the developer's disparate skill levels influenced the early levels a little too much. The difficulty curve feels more like a jagged, exponential staircase and eventually I couldn't keep up! Also, skating against wind smothers all finesse of the otherwise-great-movement-system with chaotic wonkiness; it's like trying to push repelling magnets together and it makes me sad. At the end of the day, I enjoyed this game enough for this review to be positive. Someday I'll work up the courage to make it through the ordeal of a level I'm stuck on (Mets 2/10).

At a glance, I think it will be better once I get used to it. Will continue to play. 超高難易度スケートゲー。操作は確かにスケート感を出してはくれるが、思い通りに動かすのは非常に大変。M気質な人ならトライする価値はあるかもしれない。 Mini-video >> https://twitter.com/hhfcurator/status/1553756369584435200
