Summary
Have you ever thought of trying parkour? Well, you’ll need to be fit and flexible, and not everyone is gifted with excellent athletic ability.
Thankfully, Supermoves exists. This parkour platformer experience by Makea Games delivers the exciting thrill of this urban traversal obstacle course sport into your screen. With adrenaline-fueled movement mechanics, this experience puts you into the extreme world of wall-running, vaulting, and back and frontflipping across urban landscapes. You’ll race through “natural” urban landscapes and artificially made courses.
Though relatively exciting, it’s not the most realistic take—due to technical issues and limited physics, it’s geared towards a more arcade-ish approach. Regardless, it has numerous game modes, obstacle courses, and things to explore.
So, is Supermoves something you’d want to try out? Well, let’s check out what it has to offer:
Plotline
There’s not much of a story in Supermoves, although there’s a career mode wherein you can customize and guide your character, boost their reputation, and win competitions online. There’s no villain or rival to take on. Although the lack of an antagonist may not be optimum, and you may find yourself wishing for a higher motivation, it’s enough to keep you running and jumping.
Gameplay
Making up for its lack of story, Supermoves shines in terms of gameplay. If you’re someone who is into parkour and freerunning, this game has your needs covered. However, there is a steep learning curve, and the tutorial only covers the basic controls. Regardless, the core gameplay revolves around mastering its movement, which includes quick slides, wall runs, vaults, and flips while traversing around increasingly complex environments.
In terms of controls, Supermoves is best played using a controller, although utilizing a keyboard and a mouse (with numerous buttons) can help make it a lot easier. In addition, there are multiple points of view, first-person and third-person. If you want a more immersive approach, go for the former, but if you’d like to see what’s ahead in the course entirely, then the latter would be more appropriate. In any case, the movement is relatively smooth and responsive, comparable to action-packed parkour-type games like Dying Light and Rooftop Run.
In Supermoves, you can perform countless parkour moves and a variety of obstacles. These include pits, walls you’ll need to run on, zip lines and bars you can “soap” on, platforms you’ll need to jump towards, and walls you need to vault. Courses include rooftops, urban jungles, and artificial obstacle courses that require a bit more extra challenge. Thankfully, there are several tools that can help you get the job done, including trampolines and other props that can easily help you get into hard-to-reach places.
One thing Supermoves achieves is offering variety, helping you keep things fresh. Multiple modes change the objectives, from reaching a certain point the quickest to gathering objects scattered across the course. Furthermore, the game lets you create your own course, which you can then share across the community. If you’re someone who loves letting their creative juices take over, then this feature will definitely be for you.
Community
Supermoves doesn’t have a massive online community, although it is a game with lots of potential. The online population isn’t as sizable as one would hope - it takes a while to find other players during matchmaking, and at times, you’ll have to go at it alone. Although it’s relatively fun, the whole experience would be a lot better if there were other players racing with you.
Graphics/Sound
Supermoves isn’t the most appealing game in third-person, but if you play in first-person, it’s one of the most impressive you’ll dive into. The atmosphere and environments are well-designed and intricately crafted, delivering a steady mix of urban and natural landscapes. You could find yourself sprinting across an obstacle course inside an arena or on the roofs of high-rise buildings.
The sound design also complements the gameplay well. An upbeat, adrenaline-pumping soundtrack keeps your heart racing as you dash through each level. The sound effects—like the whoosh of wind as you leap between buildings or the satisfying thud of a well-timed vault—add to the immersion. It’s not groundbreaking, but it gets the job done, enhancing the overall parkour experience.
Conclusion
Overall, Supermoves is an extremely fun and fast-paced action game that manages to deliver a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled experience. Though there are some visual and technical issues, the overall gameplay loop is nothing short of excellent. Plus, matchmaking isn’t the best, given that the game’s population is relatively low. Thankfully, there are many community courses you can try out, and most are well-made.
