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.

Game Ratings for The Ramp Video Game.
Screen Rant: 4 / 5 by Jacob Zeranko
Overall, The Ramp is exactly what it says it is. It's designed from the ground up to entertain its players with a simple gameplay loop that can be enjoyed for a couple minutes or a couple hours. That simplicity not only makes it easy to pop in and out of, but its mechanics are incredibly addicting, and setting personal challenges becomes most of the fun. Given its low price and the hours of fun it provides, The Ramp is absolutely worth picking up and dropping into whenever one gets the urge to shred.
Nintendo Life: 6 / 10 by Oliver Reynolds
Nevertheless, for its relatively low price, The Ramp does control reasonably well, and although the range of tricks on offer is undoubtedly quite limited, there's plenty of fun to be had here if you're not bothered about gaining scores or doing tasks like collecting S-K-A-T-E tokens. If you're after something a bit meatier, then you'll be better off going for something like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, or OlliOlli World, but The Ramp does have a certain minimal charm which we enjoyed.
Pure Nintendo: 6 / 10 by Kaelyn Daugherty
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.
