Minimalist arcade game in which we indulge in stress-free skateboarding and performing tricks. In The Ramp we get four miniature levels at our disposal; in the game we won't see any scoring system or tasks to complete.
The Ramp is a minimalist arcade game about skateboarding. The game was developed by a one-person, independent studio Hyperparadise.
In The Ramp we observe the action from a top-down view. The game gives us four miniature levels - the title ramp (half-pipe), single and double pool and a huge jump. During the gameplay we simply indulge in riding a board and performing tricks in the air; additionally, the pools allow us to slide on their edges.
Our tricks are not scored, and the game does not set us any specific tasks. You do, however, need to spend some time mastering the controls - this applies to performing specific stunts, as well as jumping off the ramp at a certain moment and properly positioning the rider before landing. In addition, the list of tricks, which is quite extensive, can be put together in spectacular combos. This ensures that even the most demanding players will find something for themselves here.
The Ramp allows only to play solo. We are introduced to the game by an efficiently realised tutorial.
Graphics of The Ramp is pleasing to the eye. Together with nice graphics there is calm music which accompanies the gameplay.

Rapid Reviews UK: 3 / 5 by Joseph Barrood
The Ramp is a simulation skateboarding game that focuses on the flow of skateboarding instead of achievements. Having seen the trailer, I was excited to see how this game played especially given the budget price point. Did this game nail the landing? Find out in this Rapid Review.

The Ramp was made for a specific purpose and it serves that purpose. I just wish I had more fun doing it. However, if you're into skateboarding and don't care about all the extra stuff, you might want to check this one out. Otherwise, wait for the next Tony Hawk Remaster.
Shacknews: 7 / 10 by TJ Denzer
I’m not going to blast The Ramp too much for how limited it is in its offerings because the developer is pretty straightforward about exactly that. It’s essentially a chill experience without goals or milestones to achieve. You skate to your heart’s content, enjoy the soundtrack, land tricks, crash and burn, and restart to your heart’s content. I enjoyed it for what it is. It’s not something I can imagine anyone putting hours of playtime into. Still, at the very least, if you want to kill some time, stick some tricks, and occasionally absolutely annihilate your poor little skater on some bad landings, The Ramp could be worth a spin at its low price of $6.
