Evaluation

The Ramp was created by a single developer (Paul Schnepf) and launched on August 3, 2021 as a self-described "digital toy" — a small, intentionally focused skateboarding experience. The store description is transparent about the game's scope: it explicitly lists what the game does not have (no unlockables, no score, no missions) and frames it as a deliberately minimal product designed to deliver a specific feeling rather than an expanding content experience. The developer's own words — "it is a very small game. Maybe not even a game, but rather a digital toy" — make clear this was shipped as a complete, finished package from day one. After launch, the only developer communications were about an entirely separate new game (The Block, announced November 28, 2022 and released December 16, 2022), with no mention of any additional content, updates, or expansions planned for The Ramp. There are no DLC listings, no roadmap, and no post-launch content updates of any kind. The game launched complete and has remained so.

About this game

THE RAMP SUPPORTS KEYBOARD INPUT, BUT IS BEST PLAYED WITH A CONTROLLER.



You crave for flow? You just want to shred through a halfpipe without all the boring stuff? Say no more, The Ramp is your jam!

YES:

  • tons of flow
  • satisfying & unique skateboarding gameplay
  • easy to learn, hard to master

BUT:

  • NO unlockable stuff
  • NO score, NO missions
  • NO guns, explosions and helicopters

A quick note from the developer:


When thinking about buying The Ramp, please keep in mind that it is a very small game. Maybe not even a game, but rather a digital toy. It was created by a single developer (hi that’s me, Paul) to scratch a very specific itch.



The Ramp captures the unparalleled feeling of real life vert skateboarding and that’s pretty much it. There is a lot this game doesn’t feature. What it offers you are the 15 minutes of flow that make a boring day great, at the price of a medium sized cinnamon pistachio latte to go.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have feedback, questions or problems with the game. I’ll do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible. Also let me know if you enjoyed The Ramp, because that really makes my day!
