Looking through my usual gaming forums today, I stumbled upon something that perfectly captures why indie game development continues to fascinate me. Someone created a skateboarding game where you perform tricks with… a mop. Yes, you read that right. A mop. And honestly? It’s brilliant.

The game, aptly titled “Mop Skater,” combines the mechanics of classic skateboarding games with the mundane reality of household cleaning. The creator even included a punk-rock soundtrack that instantly transported me back to the early 2000s, when Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater dominated gaming conversations at my first IT job.
