Skate City
Mobile skateboarding games aren’t always fun or intuitive. Instead of giving you a skater whose feet you control, most games—like Touchgrind—turn your fingers into virtual feet, which isn’t the most enjoyable way to skate on a phone. Room 8 Studio’s Skate City solves this unintuitive control issue by mimicking Skate’s dual-stick system. What you get is a slick, side-scrolling skateboarding simulator that’s easy to play and goes with you anywhere. It’s also got this soft, low-poly aesthetic that pairs well with its lofi beat tracks, making for a low-key skating game perfect for quick flights or filling idle time.
