As we prepare for Helskate's full Early Access release, we'd like to present you with the official development roadmap! Here's what to expect in the following months as we continue our journey to Helskate 1.0!
Plus: a discount for early adopters :)
Like what Anton's wearing? Good, because the newly redesigned clothing options empower your attacks with powerful elemental bonuses. Like the ElecTrick brand's lightning!
And with each clothing item having its own special power, you can stack these bonuses quite aggressively!
This one is for the digital artists <3 To celebrate indie game art, we're giving away the Art of Helskate!
To win, post a fan art on our Discord channel. ALL fan arts will win the digital version! And one lucky winner wins a physical copy.
Ends on April 30th

You've been asking for it, so here's more SHURIKEN gameplay. Projectiles are busted, baby!
(No one likes to get close to Mallkoplins anyway. They smell.)

We like to call this a Flip Trick FULL HOUSE!
We have:
- a Kickflip that generates infernal tornados
- an Impossible that shoots rockets
- a Heelflip that generates electric orb
- and a Pop Shove-It that generates a GRINDABLE MISSILE
It's a fully decked-out (ha) Anton!
Proud to announce that we’re putting the final touches on the official Helskate art book!
You’ll soon be able to get your hands on this digital collection of gorgeous Helskate artwork, concept art and models.
More info soon!
New lightning effects!
So, yeah, we were totally humming Metallica's 'It's Electric' while working on this, but obviously we can't use that here. (Wouldn't want to incur Lars' wrath.)
Which song do you think suits Anton's shocking powers? Do let us know!
Some special moves can only be unlocked by collecting VHS tapes that are scattered around Vertheim.
This one summons a lightning orb every time you do a kickflip!

See, the shurikens are great for multiple reasons:
- they make you feel like a ninja
- you can use them as fidget spinners
- you don't have to get close to those gross mallcoplins to kill them lol

The Grindwyrm. A mindless yet lethal predator whose diet consists of persistent skaters, here seen in its natural habitat: the decaying streets of Vertheim.

Claws are high risk, high reward. They require you to get very close to the enemy, but: they hit fast, can stun lock, and the potential DPS is insane.
Do NOT sleep on the claws!
Like Hades, we're first focused on launching the Early Access version of the game (in just 9 days!) after which we'll fully focus on developing the full and much larger 1.0 release.
Should that be a success — and we certainly hope so — we'll definitely look at console options :)
@helskate
Hopefully on console as well. Huge amounts of consumer's and players on console due to great classics like THPS. Surely the devs see this and will launch on Consoles as well.
Is everyone enjoying the Helskate demo? :) It won't stay up forever, so: make sure you download it and play it when you can!
And don't to forget to wishlist the game afterwards, as the demo only scratches the surface of what the full Early Access release has to offer:
It’s

clips for y’all. These had me do a double take (and a triple).
Like, this guy. Mans found out how activate videogame magnetism for his grind IRL. Impressive.

The beauty of Early Access lies in iteration.
The same is true about Helskate and its leading man, Anton Falcon, who went through multiple design and redesigns.

Got places to go

Can't stick around, have to keep movin' on
Guess what lies ahead
Only one way to find out"
