Typing meets skateboarding. Hitting killer trick requires hitting all the right keys.
I finally have time to write a proper description.
It's basically tony hawk meets typing game. To do tricks you hit space bar. Out in the open you do a simple ollie and if you hit space near objects you do the trick associated with them. When the trick starts a typing challenge pops up and you have to complete all the words to get points for the trick.
I would have loved to have all the words be skater themed however most skater words are either too short or too long so I had to fill out the word list with some standard words to try to keep the difficulty from getting out of control. If I had more time I would have like to separate the word list into difficulty so I could ramp up the challenge or add a combo mechanic. I also had to cut the sound and music do to time constraints.
All in all this is my first ludum dare entry that I am really proud of. I hope you all enjoy it.
