Game overview
Skate Stars is a skateboard runner where speed and tricks feed each other. You roll down city streets, ollie over the obstacles in your lane, and spin tricks in the air for extra reward on the way down. Coins collected on the run buy faster boards, and a faster board turns the same street into a much tighter reaction test.
This title is best suited to players who want a trick-based endless runner.
