Normally when you think of skateboarding games, you think of high scores and leaderboards \u2014 that’s what it’s all about, right? Well, that and H-O-R-S-E, of course. Stringing insane combos together to build up ridiculous high scores has been a mainstay in the genre since even before the days of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater<\/a>. It seems almost odd to think of a skateboarding game that’s completely devoid of high scores and leaderboards, but that’s exactly what The Ramp<\/a> is. Billed as a ‘digital toy’, it strips back the skateboarding genre to its bare essentials; just you, a skateboard, and a few ramps. There are no points to earn, no high scores, and no optional tasks.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the minimal nature of the game, booting it up will present you with a simple menu screen to start yourself off. Here, you can choose whether your skater is a male or female, black or white (there’s literally nothing between those options). From there, you can choose the game’s first of four skateparks to play around in, with a handy tutorial to get you started. You can’t pick the other levels until you complete the tutorial, but it really only takes a few minutes to get to grips with the gameplay.<\/p>\n
