The Ramp‪.‬ 4+

The game is great. Great controls? Check. Multiple levels? Check. Smooth gameplay? Check.
BUT, the game needs a little more to be something that everyone downloads. Right now it’s just another skateboarding game. But the way it plays, it could be THE skateboarding game. I feel like there should be another control for tricks, instead of just a grab control, and more customization and levels. I don’t know how big the dev team is, but working on levels, then customization. Would be a great touch to the game and should attract more players.

This is a perfect iPhone game that provides a perfect amount of rest and relaxation from the stress of life without sucking you in until you feel like you’ve wasted away hours of valuable time controlling a tiny man on a skateboard on your phone. I see tons of reviews providing a medley of suggestions, trying to add features or expand the game in general. To that I say, why not download any other skateboarding game that is open world and lower quality to waste your time away for hours. This game does what it is MEANT to do: be a “minimalist skateboarding” game. It is the most pleasing to look at, the physics are great, and it is very self contained, which ensures that this game is simply for you to enjoy a period of relaxation rather than to waste your time; nothing more. This is the only game I have downloaded on my phone because it helps me productively rest and is easy to get off of while still being super fun in the moment. (Also, 3 dollars for awesome new maps to enjoy as long as you want is fine … how many of you routinely spend over 3 dollars on coffee every day without thinking twice?)

Controls are really good but what I was thinking was instead of the just left and right analog stick, you could make it up and down too, allowing for flips and Manuel’s. I was also think a camera that follows your character or a birds eye view camera, leading me to my next idea. You could keep the still camera on pools and stuff but maybe add a pump track that could have a birds eye view camera, or like the mega ramp with the follow camera. I was also thinking instead of only the 8 possible grabs, there could be an inventory of unlock-able tricks from which you could swap out (like swap the Melon grab that’s already in the game with a tail walk or Benihana instead (you could choose the swaps of course)). ALSO MORE FREE MAPS AND MAYBE CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS! I also thought of you guys as a dev team to make a game like this except with BMXing or mountain biking instead of skateboarding.
