Yo! Time for an introduction. I'm Adam and I'm a coder/designer who's been having fun making games for over 20 years!
I'm a co-founder of Upstream Arcade (Hellboy:Web of Wyrd and West of Dead) and before that, Lionhead.
I'm a family man, enjoy action games, comic books, board games and bad jokes.

"Animated Bokeh" has been on my whiteboard for a long time, and this is the result.
I thought it would just be for cheesy novelty effects, but it also does lightfield manipulation that was cooler than I expected.

I’m Holly- a writer, narrative designer and historian. Recently got my PhD (19th & 20thC social cultural history through the lens of play & board games) and currently working in game development. I do a lot of things but I particularly love applying historical approaches to interactive storytelling.

We've been fixing the last (hopefully) few bugs ready for launch. It's a tiny little toy, but we've put a lot of love into it. Hope you enjoy it.
In Sky Skater, the optional score attack mode starts to ask more of you once you get further in...

We've been cheeky in Sky Skater, there is a rotation of obstacles and ramps that are based on what day you play. Here is one of our favourites.

Once you feel you've mastered your hoverboard, you can opt into a simple time based score attack. Each pickup earns you more precious seconds, how long can you last?

In Sky Skater, you get to hover board overlooking a futuristic city. We designed this game to be chilled out, but still provide ways to feel cool and perfect your line.

Eek! The pressure is on - better make sure it's ready in time.
Launch date update! Wed December 3rd 2025!
Sky Skater is a minimal, chillout hover skate toy with a score attack mode to stretch your skills. Think Back to the future 2 meets Chopper from 2000A.D (yes, we're old).
Add it to your collection and be ready to soar! upstreamarcade.itch.io/sky-skater

We're excited to share an upcoming collection of *tiny* projects - Upstream Arcade GEMS. Each 'Gem' will feature a completely different idea that we've always wanted to try. It's fun to figure new things out, and even more fun to share them with you. Stay tuned!
