SuperVillain Studios and TransWorld SKATEboarding have announced the launch of TransWorld Endless Skater on mobile devices. The game is a side-scrolling skateboarding experience that offers limitless gameplay, with a twist. Instead of skating until players run into obstacles, the game only allows them to continue playing if they've performed enough tricks to earn more time.
Each round begins with a short amount of time and a points goal. When the goal is reached by performing tricks, players earn more time and unlock a new, higher points goal. So long as players keep earning the required number of points before time runs out, the game continues.
Players have access to over 30 tricks, from flips and spins to grinding on the rails. The game is split into multiple lanes, so users can tackle particularly tricky areas like large stairwells, or swipe to move into another lane and avoid them. Wiping out while skating is possible, and while it doesn't end the game, it does waste precious time.
Moves are performed by using various taps and swipes in different areas of the screen. For instance, tapping and holding on the right side of the screen causes the player to crouch to prepare for a jump. Basic ground tricks are performed by swiping in the bottom right corner of the screen (for flips), or the upper right portion of the screen (for grabs). While in the air, users can tilt their device to spin the player, while grind controls are positioned on the left side of the screen. There are a lot of possibilities here, as combining tricks is encouraged, but players can re-launch the tutorial at any time for additional help.
Gamers can choose from multiple pro skaters, including Danny Way, Sean Malto, Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins-Pastrana, Christian Hosoi and Ryan Decenzo. Each starts out with a limited number of available tricks, but additional moves can be purchased with free or premium currency. Gamers are encouraged to play with each skater, even if that means giving up purchased moves for a time, as each skater has their own set of missions to complete.
TransWorld Endless Skater is now available to download for free on iOS, Google Play and the Amazon AppStore.
