Reception[]

Macworld rated the game 4/5, writing "Touchgrind is a fun, challenging application that takes a different approach to the skateboarding genre. Casual gamers who are used to glitzy stunts and stunning visuals won’t find it here. Instead, players who seek difficulty and realistic physics will enjoy the exacting and addictive nature of the game."[4] AppSpy gave the game an average 3/5 rating, noting "IllusionLabs clearly worked hard trying to translate everything great about skate culture into their game. Aside from a slick skate themed presentation, the skateboard itself has been recreated with stunningly realistic physics for an iPhone game."[5]
