Hey Stevie! Not only did you make some fantastic Whizz Pop VFX, you did a great job of stress testing the level design with your cunning subversive routes, you rascal!

We've been cheeky in Sky Skater, there is a rotation of obstacles and ramps that are based on what day you play. Here is one of our favourites.

The Score Attack mode in Sky Skater really starts to pick up the challenge when you've shown you can handle it...

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....!

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!

We've added speed management to our little skate prototype - if you time your boosts right you can go pretty fast!
