About the Game

Hey it's me, Mike, the guy from the trailer. Nice to meet you.

This game is a desktop overlay that sits on top of everything you do. Your typing simply recharges the skater's stamina.

I made Screen Skater because I spend most of my nights working alone. It's nice to have someone hanging out while you work. I hope it brings you the same joy it brings me. I think there are lots of ways it will surprise you!

There are moments where you basically forget about it...only to be delightfully surprised by an epic rare trick in your peripheral. Or you end up typing gibberish in your chat window because he's on a roll and you're just having fun.

I don't believe in microtransactions. All tricks and cosmetics unlock with fair amounts of "gameplay". Some rare achievements for those who use it everyday.

And of course, all pixel art is hand crafted. I hope you like it :)

Cheers,
Mike
