Once you feel you've mastered your hoverboard, you can opt into a simple time based score attack. Each pickup earns you more precious seconds, how long can you last?

In Sky Skater, you get to hover board overlooking a futuristic city. We designed this game to be chilled out, but still provide ways to feel cool and perfect your line.

Launch date update! Wed December 3rd 2025!
Sky Skater is a minimal, chillout hover skate toy with a score attack mode to stretch your skills. Think Back to the future 2 meets Chopper from 2000A.D (yes, we're old).
Add it to your collection and be ready to soar! upstreamarcade.itch.io/sky-skater
Here be some colour and remaining pieces of our core building blocks. Pop-popping blocks into exsistence is very satisfying, especially as they wobble and settle.

Tagging in on where Adam left off Paddy has started adding art to our real time mesh generator. Some snaggs here and there but a core set of pieces allow for some good feels
Build, build...DESTROY, DESTROY....!

Announcing our first 'Gem' - Sky Skater! - a minimal, chillout hover skate game. Think Back to the future 2 meets Chopper from 2000A.D. (are we showing our age?)
Coming soon to itch! Add the title to your collection and be told when it's out! upstreamarcade.itch.io/sky-skater
#indiedev #indiegame
We're excited to share an upcoming collection of *tiny* projects - Upstream Arcade GEMS. Each 'Gem' will feature a completely different idea that we've always wanted to try. It's fun to figure new things out, and even more fun to share them with you. Stay tuned!

What's this little fella?? #gamedev #indiedev #prototype
First things first - that little 'blobby' feeling when adding and removing pieces. #gamedev #procgen #gamecode #indiedev
While Paddy is putting some visual love into Sky-Skater, Ad is starting on our second microgame. Let's get some simple real time mesh generation working... #gamedev #procgen #indiedev
Paddy has been living his best life, and fulfilling his dream of making low-poly flying cars for our Sky-Skater minigame. #cyberpunk #gamedev #gameart
Some good progress in the last day - transparent floor, visual effects and extra props are bringing it together! #gamedev #retrogame #indiegame
Our hoverboard-ey toy is coming on nicely! We've an updated player character, colour palette and some (massively faked) animation. #gamedev #indiedev
It's amazing what a difference some first pass art can make to a prototype. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart
We've added speed management to our little skate prototype - if you time your boosts right you can go pretty fast!
