Gameplay
Theres not much to the gameplay. You ride your skate over trains. While you ride your skateboard, you need to jump over airplanes and skaters. Some trains are long and some are small. The skater needs to jump from train to train and he jumps pretty high. You goal is to get a high score. Players get 3 lives and this game is easy to play. In the shop, player scan buy boosts with real money. Unfortunately, there is no coin collecting. Landing in between trains means the game is over. If your lives run out, then the game is over. To gain back your lives you have to jump and grab them. But they dont always show up.

Graphics
These graphics are alright for an IOS game. They could at least add some more details on the textures and colors. The darker colors have great depth while the light ones are bright. I have played a few games like this and most have not been as good as this. There is a shadow of a city behind the skater. The long brick wall has little black lines under the bricks which makes the texture look great. I really enjoyed the game and how well the graphics played out. The graphics dont really have an effect on the gameplay.

Controls
Controls are very simple. Tap once to jump. And tap twice to jump higher. Your skate will jump very high. Be aware of mini airplanes and skaters. Trains vary in length so watch out. You dont want to over jump it. The skater rides moves very fast but the player must use his awareness to stay alive. This games control makes it for all ages between 7 and so on. I like the easy controls kind of game that makes the game easier and funnier to play. There isnt much to say as there are only two controls but it is still fun.
