Description

In Roadside Boardin' you take control of a 9-year-old's imagination as you picture a little skateboarder doing some sick tricks on the passing scenery during a very long car ride.

Each run of the game is meant to be quite short.

There are 3 layers of platforms you can jump on.

This game was made for the Phaser Game Jam 2020.


This game should be compatible with most mobile devices.


Lore

You are 9 years old. You are on a very long road trip with your family. In a state of sheer boredom, you stare out the window from the backseat of the car. That's when you see a little skateboarder doing some sick tricks on the passing scenery.


Keyboard Controls

  • Jump : Space, you can double jump - and in fact, must in order to go up to the layer of platforms above you
  • Tricks : Arrow keys, combinations of two adjacent arrow keys perform different tricks than single arrow keys
  • Pause : P key


Touch Screen Controls

  • Jump : Tap, you can double jump - and in fact, must in order to go up to the layer above you
  • Tricks : Swipe, swiping different directions will perform different tricks
  • Pause : Tap button in the top right corner


Music

What's that? You're not already following KawaiSprite? Better go remedy that!

Tips

  • Grab tricks (any trick excluding those that involve the up arrow key/upward swipes) are worth more points than flip tricks and spin tricks, but take longer to complete.
  • You do not get points for tricks you do not complete.
  • Mix up your combos! You are penalized for repeating the same trick.
  • You can drop down to the platform layer below you by pressing the down arrow key or swiping down as long as you are not in the middle of a jump or fall. This can help you avoid hitting the animals.
  • If the game is only a black screen, or if you see black boxes with green X's where the menu should be, you'll need to refresh the game. I'm not sure why this happens, it just doesn't like to load sometimes.

Fun jumper

This was a fun jumper platformer style lol, it was good very fast and some nice backrounds along with some nice music, needs more medal options, This was A really decent and fun submission you have something decent here and the effort shows Well established and but still is pretty nifty, I would even suggest adding in some sort of upgrade elements about it, anyways nice game.

you're the best, glad to see you're still around and reviewin' as strong as ever

The squirrels were annoying. Good concept tho ☺️

NO WAY GETTING 100 points is easy the highest i can get is 25 its funny at first when i was dying alot and finding out what I could skate on and what i could not the squiles did not kill me infact i hit one and did not do nothing I finally realize where all spots I can jumpTHEN the squillers and birds start to kill me re rentless lol

Freaking every ten seconds there is an impossible jump or a bird that you cant dodge its luck screw this!

Aww this was pretty fun! I enjoyed jumping and nosegrinding along the buildings. The only thing stopping me rating it higher is that very often impossible jumps would appear, usually as a result of 'animal cruelty' right before the end of a roof, meaning you had no time to jump again (even when double-jumping). That aside, it was pretty fun :)
