About this game

Realism comes first in this fully physics-based skateboarding game. The always-active ragdoll reacts to everything organically—no animations—making every moment unique! Of course, the board is completely physics-driven too.
 
In skateboarding even a simple kickflip is satisfying, that is a core element in Newbie . Rewarding lifelike feel of the board control makes all those (hilarious) bails worth getting up from.
Free roam a small town with tons of realistic obstacles and rails. Master the basics, and that ten-step stair set will look a little more doable. 

 

Roadmap inbound. 

Upcoming features:

  • Replay Feature

  • Stats & Achievements

You can currently change the color of your clothing—this is a placeholder for a full wardrobe system. The board will get the same treatment in the future.

The map is constantly evolving, with new details and areas added as development continues. Share your ideas in the Community Hub!

Physics and game mechanics will get consistent updates, and soon customizable settings for you to experiment with.

Hop on board, wishlist the game, and help shape the game as it evolves! Pre-alpha out soon.

IMPORTANT: This game is in development and worked on daily by a solo dev. Details subject to change.
