True Skate is an extremely authentic skateboarding game for the iOS and Android platforms. It used to cost money to purchase the game, but now it’s absolutely free. You play as a disembodied skateboard, and your goal is simply to do tricks in freestyle form, complete some random missions that aren’t really tied together by anything, and earn True Credits so that you can customize stuff. Read on for some tips and tricks for True Skate!
There’s a ton of tricks that you can do, but generally they fall into one of the same two categories: jumping tricks, or grinding tricks. Experiment with various finger movements to see what you can come up with, and always make sure to stabilize the board before you land so that you can land the trick. Go to the pause menu and then to the trick book to see what tricks you have accomplished.
If you want to earn as many True Credits as possible, you need to build a consistent line. A line is how long you can go without stopping or crashing into something, consistently pulling off tricks until the line time runs out. The more tricks you pull off (and especially the more trick combinations that you pull off), the more points you will earn overall.
The easiest way to pad your score during your line is to skate, do a jumping trick, and land on a rail, a ledge or something else that you can grind and do a grinding trick. Then land it, skate towards something else you can grind and do the same thing over and over again. Or, if you want to be cheap, find a rail to land on, stay still, keep jumping and doing tricks and landing back on the rail, and repeating over and over until it’s time to land the trick.
You can use your TC, or true credits, to buy skateboard modifications. This includes new decals and changing the color of your wheels. Unfortunately, you can’t buy new skateparks with TC – you can only buy them by spending real-life money.
Go to the options menu for the game to change all kinds of presets for your own comfort. For example, you can change the sensitivity of the left and right controls. Also, realistic ollie height is disabled by default, making it extremely easy to overshoot a rail. Enable realistic ollie height to make grinds much easier to do.
