THE GAME, EXPLAINED
What Is Street Skater – City?
Street Skater – City is a pixel-art skateboarding game developed by Smashing Pixels. Instead of complicated keyboard combinations, it focuses on a small set of tap-based actions and the timing needed to use them.
Your goal is to keep skating through the city, avoid dangerous ledges, and improve your score. An ollie helps you jump, a double tap triggers a kickflip, and holding the input performs a manual that can earn additional points.
The controls are simple to learn, but deciding when to use each action is the challenge.

LEARN THE TIMING
Master the Street Skater – City Controls
The developer describes tap and hold controls. Exact physical keyboard bindings have not been confirmed.
- Single Tap — Ollie
- An ollie is your basic jump. Use it when you need to clear an obstacle or move onto a higher surface. The important part is choosing when to tap.
- Double Tap — Kickflip
- A quick double tap performs a kickflip. The developer notes that this move jumps slightly higher than a regular ollie, making it useful to practice when a basic jump is not enough.
- Press and Hold — Manual
- Holding the input performs a manual and increases your score. Try this after you understand the timing of regular jumps.
- Control Tip
- Start by practicing each move separately. Once the inputs feel familiar, experiment with when to switch between them during a run.
