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.

Quick Score: 4/5 Notes: Absolutely brutal awkward control sim. The dev is currently working on implementing a practice mode and possibly some other tweaks, and once those are implemented the game will probably be a 5/5 in my book, but until then I will comment on the current state of the game. Game looks great, and overall the concept of the game is great, however difficulty scaling and checkpoint placement can be infuriating for your first playthrough. A couple checkpoints are insane difficulty spikes paired with being incredibly long. My first playthrough of the game took 8 hours and 30 minutes with 1212 falls. Which doesn't sound bad, however this is much better than average. Assuming you are able to stick through the game without ragequitting, the store page is about accurate in estimating 12 hours for a first playthrough. Personally I played through the game with controller and I found it easier. However the dev mainly played with mouse and once you master the mouse it seems to be just as good if not better than controller. Just depends on what you are more comfortable with, they each have their pros and cons. I would only recommend this game if you are prepared for an ex…

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 it

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!

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
