Roll the board. Whir the motors. Scrape the metal. RoboSkate is a short and challenging physics based adventure where you master the controls of a robotic arm stuck to a skateboard and overcome the trials of a short yet treacherous journey.
Developed by solo developer Matas Sakalauskas, this physics-based adventure game tasks players with controlling a robotic arm attached to a skateboard. With 79 reviews and a 90% positive rating on Steam, the game has garnered an overwhelmingly positive reception from players.
The core gameplay centers around coordinating the movements of the robotic arm to propel the skateboard, turn, and overcome obstacles. Reviewers have praised this unique control scheme, describing it as both "chaotic" and "rewarding" once players have mastered the intricacies.
Many players have compared the experience to other challenging physics-based games, such as "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy." However, the sense of accomplishment when overcoming the game's difficulties is a significant draw. As players progress, they start to better understand the nuances of controlling the robotic arm, leading to a satisfying feeling of improvement and mastery.
The game's obstacles and challenges have been described as "sinister" and "elevating the difficulty to a new level," requiring players to hone their skills and reflexes. Despite the relatively short 2-3 hour campaign, the level design's creativity encourages players to revisit the game and attempt speedruns or challenge themselves to complete the levels more efficiently.
The game features local split-screen co-op for up to 4 players, which reviewers have found to be a source of great entertainment and hilarity. The shared experience of struggling with the unique controls and overcoming challenges together has been highlighted as a major draw for the game.
