About Skate Rift
YOU CAN PLAY WITH A KEYBOARD, BUT THE GAME IS BEST WITH A CONTROLLER!
This is a minimal skateboarding game with some unconventional features. Skaterift worlds have rifts in them which let you travel across them quickly and form endless loops to set lap times in.
Skaterift is centered around some subtle but finely tuned physics based movement. Pump naturally to gain speed, and maintain control over the wheels friction to keep it. It may take you some time to master these two things but once you do it'll let you flow smoothly throughout the courses and give you loads of airtime. We push things quite big here so you will learn to be comfortable going 100+km/h!
It's designed to be a laid back immersive experience, which is why it is in first person and there is no major HUD; your records will show up in analog form in various places, and if you're good enough, other peoples games too. Competing isn't for everyone though, so you are also free to just roam around explore.. do tricks and grinds where you want to, or master the flow of courses with friends by connecting to the global server.

Very fun skater-esque indie with a lil bitti jank as well.
amazing game highly recommend super competitive
A pretty fun and sweet alternative to other street-based skating games. Though to be honest, despite the already solid established core this game has, it still lacks refinement in areas like Quality of Life (stuff like respawning from waypoints feels unintuitive and clunky, especially since the camera angles often face the wrong direction after respawning from waypoints), in-game customization (I know and am happy it has built-in workshop support where making stuff like characters and models can be explained on one page, but the in-game options for selecting hats, tops, and bottoms – plus coloring all of them – still feel lacking; I'm also not a big fan of how hard it is to find the right color, because instead of a color picker or a set of preset color palettes, it's just sliders of preset color palettes that make finding the right one confusing), and game content (I won't complain much since I just finished the tutorial island, but the fact that I can't change my starting stance from goofy to regular bummed me out – though I'm just nitpicking). This game has huge potential as a community-driven game, like Webfishing simple laid-back community vibe, so I hope the dev could help ad…
I do have mixed feelings about the game so far.. When I first started playing I had absolutely no idea where I was supposed to go or where I could access other maps. The navigation of menus & such as it stands is bad, which could turn off new players (however could easily be improved) I stuck with it a bit because I love games that have huge airs/jumps & ultimately it paid off because it's ended up being my favourite skateboarding game I've played so far on steam. Skater XL & Session are obviously graphically superior and more realistic but for me personally the controls are a tad too difficult to have a relaxing game, Skate Rift hits a different note for me; it has a dreamy, mellow vibe with relatively easy controls & lots of room for error on tricks. There is certainly a learning curve here but it's far more forgiving. However still needs more maps, modes etc. 6/10
Really addicting
I recently had made a comment showcasing how i couldn't access the older maps but i found them now :)
