Skate Neon Grid is a fast-paced 2D arcade skateboarding game inspired by classic 80s retro cabinets. Shred through neon-lit streets, grind across glowing rails in a shower of electric sparks, and build massive trick combos to the beat of an original Synthwave soundtrack.

🛹 Key Features

• Deep trick & combo system: chain together Ollies, Kickflips, 360 Flips, Indy Grabs, and the slow-motion Superman special trick using Manuals and Rail Grinds (50-50 & Nosegrind).
• 3 Synthwave stages: progress through Street Rookie, Neon Tokyo, and Cyber Highway, each with its own music track and increasing challenge.
• 2 game modes: Career Mode (beat the target score against the clock for an S-Rank) and Free Skate Mode (endless session with no timer).
• Built-in Synthwave Jukebox: 4 original 80s-style synthwave tracks and punchy arcade sound effects included out of the box.
• Retro visuals & skins: unlock and switch between 4 neon skater skins and toggle the 16-Bit CRT Scanlines filter anytime.
• Flexible controls: full keyboard support (WASD / Arrow keys) plus customizable on-screen Retro Gamepad controls.
