The player rides freely in a skatepark and performs tricks on ramps, boxes and rails.

Apart from the natural controls, Illusion Labs has developed an online level editor open to the community to create and publish their own skateparks.

Illusion Labs was founded in autumn 2007 and is located in Malmö, Sweden.

Illusion Labs focuses on two areas; Game 2.0 apps such as Labyrinth and Touchgrind and branded apps for select advertisers such as the iPint which was awarded a Cannes Silver Lion in 2008.
