Join the Skateboarding Action in Skate Bums
Indie skateboarding title Skate Bums is rolling into the Nintendo Switch Indie Sale with a notable discount, giving players a chance to jump in at a lower price. Developed by Melbourne-based Lucky Last Studio, the game will be available at 40% off from May 28 to June 7 across regions, including the US, Canada, and Latin America.
Built over seven years by a small two-person team, Skate Bums channels a strong 90s arcade vibe, blending fast-paced platforming with fluid skateboarding mechanics. Players step into the shoes of Lux, an underdog skater carving a path through the streets of Beluga City while facing off against rival crews. The core gameplay revolves around maintaining momentum, chaining tricks, and chasing that addictive rhythm that keeps each run feeling fresh.
The game features a range of handcrafted levels designed to encourage experimentation. Multiple routes and tight level design reward players who master timing and build high-scoring combo runs. Boss encounters add an extra layer of challenge, pushing players to adapt their approach against competing skate crews.
Customization also plays a big role, with over 100 unlockable items available for both the character and skateboard. This adds a personal touch to each playthrough while giving players more reasons to keep coming back.
Early impressions from both critics and players highlight its smooth flow, accessibility, and satisfying arcade-style gameplay.
With its stylish presentation and engaging mechanics, Skate Bums looks like a strong pick for players seeking a fast, replayable skateboarding experience at a discounted price.
