Our take on AFTERGRINDER
The focus on difficult, fast arcade play leaves little room for a relaxed pace. Character choice offers three difficulty settings, but the game centers on the same skating platforming challenge across its levels.
What is AFTERGRINDER?
AFTERGRINDER is a fast 2D runner and precision platformer built around skating through challenging arcade side-scrolling stages.
Choose from 3 characters, each linked to a difficulty level, then pick a course. The game features 90 levels set in 3 distinct worlds. Sections can be played with the skater upright or inverted. Expect frequent deaths and retries as part of the challenge, with techno music accompanying each run.
