Stunt Boost 1

If you ever played with Tech Decks, fingerboards, scooters, or bikes, then Stunt Boost is sure to hit you with an intense wave of pure nostalgia. Reminisce as you ride across books, tables, cassettes, and everything in between, and hit grinds, flips, and tricks of all kinds in a way you probably haven't in years.

Stunt Boost is an arcadey miniature skating game that prioritises speed and intensity as you fly around a series of stylised locations, such as a bedroom, kitchen, and stairway. You unlock these different areas of the house by completing challenges that grant you medals, which let you play in certain areas that feature unique abilities and levels.

Use cardboard ramps to gain airtime and momentum as you perform flips, grinds, and land stunts that your teenage self could only dream of. These tricks are made even more enjoyable to execute when you realise there is no speed limit, allowing you to move as fast as you want when performing tricks and stunts.

Use your new tricks to beat your past times on courses throughout the map, compare yourself to the ghosts of your previous runs, and see where you went wrong (or maybe where you went right), so you can improve as much as possible.

Improving at traversing the world is useful for more than just looking cool and doing flips (even though that is really what we all want to do); it also helps you find the various collectables dotted around the many playable places.

Stunt Boost certainly set off some nostalgia bells in my brain, and it really captures that vibe of being a kid playing with small toy skateboards, while also adding a great twist with the uncapped speed and crazy stunts possible.

It's out right now on Steam for £5.95 on a 15% sale, with £7.00 being its normal retail price.
