Touchgrind Skate 2

Core gameplay

Touchgrind Skate 2 is a skateboarding game where the player controls the board with their fingers rather than on-screen buttons. The source describes a realistic physics engine and 3D graphics that are meant to make each trick feel grounded and deliberate. Players learn tricks by practicing them and then apply them in challenges across the available skate parks.

Controls and perspective

The multi-touch control scheme is presented as the game's main feature. It is designed to let players perform several actions at once, and it draws on earlier titles in the series, Touchgrind and Touchgrind BMX. A tilted camera perspective is intended to mirror the view of a rider on a real board.

Game modes

The game includes three modes. Training Mode is for practice. Competition Mode asks players to chase the highest score within a time limit. Improvisation Mode offers a more relaxed pace, where players can complete a range of challenges without the pressure of a timer. The source also says the game includes 100 challenges across these modes.

Skate parks and progression

Several skate parks are available to explore, with bowls, ramps, curbs, and boxes, totaling more than 2000 meters of skating area. Completing challenges in these parks is described as a way to unlock new skateboard accessories, including decks, wheels, grips, and stickers. Tutorial videos with step-by-step trick explanations are also included, which the source presents as useful for beginners.

Free version and purchases

The free version includes only one skate park. Other parks and expansion packs, such as the Factory and Mega Ramp locations, require in-app purchases to unlock. The source notes that promotions for a $6.99 content offer may feel frequent, and it also cautions that the learning curve can be steep for casual players.
