About SkyGrind
Swing between skyscrapers on a grapple, drop onto your skateboard and take back the city from Helix Corp.
Play as Kai, a courier who swings between skyscrapers on a grapple, rides a skateboard down walls and through skateparks, and wall-runs across a living 3D city. Follow a 10-mission story against Helix Corp's drones, robots and a giant walking mech, or free roam with daily challenges and streaks, ghost races, surprise city events, a training ground and awards. A 2-minute how-to-play lesson, an Easy mode and glowing button tips make it friendly for first-time players.
How to play
You play Kai, moving across the city by rope, skateboard and wall-run. Walk into a yellow beam of light to start a story mission, or a blue one for an extra challenge. The story has 10 missions and ends with The Hunter, Helix's giant walking robot. Some missions have a timer, and many give up to 3 stars.
On a computer, move with WASD and look with the mouse. Hold left click to swing and let go to fly off. Right click or Q zips to where the dot points, Space jumps, Shift runs or dashes, F gets on the board, R does tricks and E attacks. On a phone, slide your left thumb to move, drag the right side to look and use buttons like GRAPPLE, ZIP and BOARD. A controller works too.

Tips and tricks
- While swinging, let go just as you start going up to get a Perfect Launch and a big jump. Gold dots on the swing path mean you will make the ring.
- Trick chains add up while you keep doing flips, wheelies and slides. Roll for a moment without a trick to collect the points.
- Speed is your weapon: the faster you hit a robot, the harder it falls. Rip a shield away with Zip first, or hit the robot from behind.
- When you fight, the ALERT bar fills and more robots come. After about 12 seconds without fighting, it slowly calms down.
- Each of the 40 hidden tokens gives 25 parts. Spend parts in the Garage on a longer rope, more health, extra air dashes and a faster zip.
What makes it fun
SkyGrind joins two kinds of movement that rarely meet: big rope swings between towers, then a skateboard ride down a wall and into a skatepark. Between missions the city stays busy with surprise jobs like robberies and deliveries, plus daily challenges and ghost races.

Questions about SkyGrind
Is there an easy mode?
Yes. On Easy you take half damage, enemies shoot less often, timers are longer and you never fall off rails. Change it any time in Settings.
Does SkyGrind save my progress?
Yes, on this device. Settings then Progress also gives you a save code you can copy and load later.
How do I beat The Hunter?
Point the dot at its glowing weak spots and zip to rip them off. When its core opens, crash into it fast or hit it, and jump over its red laser.
