Last month we checked out the early preview trailer for Stickman Skate Park, the upcoming skateboarding game from the experts at making stickman-based sports games Djinn Works. Since that time the game has made a lot of progress, including a name change. Now known as Stickman Skate Battle, the title looks like it will mostly be focused on head-to-head real-time competition with opponents online. There will be 1v1 High Score Battles where the object is to outscore your opponent in one minute, as well as 1v1 Domination Battles where you’ll perform tricks on specific objects to “claim" them with your opponent trying to claim them for themselves by performing a higher point trick on them and whoever owns the most objects at the end of the round is the winner. A new trailer shows Stickman Skate Battle in action.
If online play isn’t your thing, there will also be a Free Ride mode where you can just cruise around the game’s 8 hand-crafted parks, but clearly the emphasis in Stickman Skate Battle will be in the online play. There will be weekly tournaments for all the event types as well as leaderboards and friend challenges. Also, a multitude of different characters and skateboards will be available to unlock and upgrade. The one detail that makes me hesitate is that Stickman Skate Battle will only include 15 different trick types. Hopefully that will cover all the main basics for people who just want to tool around and free skate, but based on the trailer it looks like many of the tricks will be grabs and aerial-based stuff so I’m hoping there’s still enough for us street skaters out there. I’m anxious to see how it turns out though, and you can look for Stickman Skate Battle to launch in early May and can find out more about the game in our forums.
I want it on my iPad 12.9... but I wish Apple would release an 18 inch iPad already like Samsung did.
The whole point of an ipad is to have it portable and 18 inch is hardly portable or useful as such.
Yeah in my bag
Not very comfortable in one's lap and takes up too much room on a table in a cafe :)
I never played a point and click adventure because I like to steer the characters in a game so that I have the feeling that my actions makes the story but after seeing this fantastic trailer this could be the first point and click that I want to try I really like the graphics especially the spooky scene with the bridge and glistening water with the corpse floating in it style and the trailer makes me very curious about the rest of the game and story.
Any specifics on iOS release besides it launching on iOS? It was supposed to launch simultaneously with the other platforms. I've been looking foward to this. I might just have to get it on another platform, maybe. I primarily play on my Ipad so maybe not. I can wait, I think. Hehe
No PS4?!?!!1
In a couple of months I think I read somewhere
Don't be greedy you guys over there have more than your share of games to play lol
