About Skitchin'

Skitchin' is a racing game where players control an inline skater. The setting involves traveling between urban areas, with progression tied to financial rewards earned from competition.

Core movement mechanics involve using passing vehicles for a tow by grabbing them. Players can also acquire and use weapons against opponents during races.

Earnings from successful races are used to purchase upgrades, including improved skates, protective gear, and weaponry. The game's technology and design are noted as being adapted from the Road Rash series, and its release coincided with a period of increased popularity for inline skating.
