True Skate+ is the closest feeling to real-world skateboarding, with a decade long evolution as the ultimate skateboarding sim, now on Apple Arcade! PURE PHYSICS CONTROLS Use your fingers like you would your feet on a real skateboard. Flick the board to make it react exactly how you would expect and drag your finger on the ground to push. - Play with one finger, mind skate with 2 fingers, or play with 2 thumbs, now with Gamepad! The skateboard reacts instantly as foot and finger, thumb or stick feels truly connected whether pushing, popping, flipping or grinding. - True Axis's instant and unified physics system listens for swipe, position, direction and strength from the player and processes how the skateboard should respond in real-time. So the same flick in two different points of the skateboard will react very differently. - Literally any trick is possible with TRUE CONTROL of the skateboard, so if you can dream-it, you can do-it! SKATEPARKS Complete Park Objectives to generate keys to unlock Skateparks. Park Objectives include completing Missions, making Gaps or simply rolling and grinding! Start at Underpass and then choose your own path to unlock 8 True Skate+ parks - Inbound, Schoolyard, Factory, Alley, Mondo Ramp, Double Infinity, Warehouse and the Valley. Or follow the path to real-world parks - MACBA, SPoT, Havasu and the Berrics. OFFICIAL COMPETITION SKATEPARKS Go to Events in the Community tab and play missions to unlock all Street League Skateboarding Championship Courses from 2012, World Skate and Skateboard GB courses. Keep a look out for Live Events to skate the course the same time as the real-world Pros! DAILY BOLT CHALLENGES Complete challenges to earn Bolts to purchase boards, apparel, DIY objects and Boosts more. Challenges include Missions, Tricks, Lines, Gaps and Sequences.
