Hey hey, it’s update time! Thanks once again to everyone who has been playing Helskate! Super extra thanks to everyone who took the time to write massive feedback posts on Steam and Discord, and those who have been submitting videos and bug reports <3. It’s so so helpful and we are reading every bit of feedback even if we can’t quite reply to everything. You rock!
In this update: a new deck. The Axestronaut spins into a skateshop near you. This weapon is all about Spin and features a new experimental mechanic: static charge. Spin repeatedly to build up the static meter and enter Overcharge mode. Let us know what you think!
Also in this update: new levels! New (and reworked) tapes! Polish and GUI improvements!
This is not the Big Spring Update, but there’s a lot of new stuff here. Enjoy this additional medium in-between update :).
Thanks again for playing, and feel free to join our Discord to chat more about the game!
<3 The Phantom Coast Team
