ArcadeSkate

I spent some of my adolescence playing the timeless classic Jetpack Joyride and vividly remember having a blast, so I decided to create a 2d Infinite runner inspired by it. I've been skateboarding for a couple years now and I wanted to translate that feeling of poppin' tricks and cruising the city in this action game.
