Air-strafing, explained without the jargon
Why turning your view makes you faster.
Small studio · Big momentum
Gain speed.Keep it.
Preck.Dev is a small game studio. We're building Movement Arcade: a free game about surfing ramps, air-strafing and chasing the perfect line.

01 · What it is
A movement game, not a shooter.
Movement Arcade is built around one idea: moving well should be the whole game. You slide down angled ramps, curve your view in the air and the speed you gain is yours to keep.
It's a free multiplayer arcade where the movement feels like classic Source-engine surf, and later grows into more modes built on the same movement. It's in development, so nothing is final yet.

02 · What's inside
Built around the feel of the slide.
What we're building, and how far along each part is. Planned items are plans, not promises.
- In development
Source-style movement
Custom movement code tuned to the feel of Source-engine surf: air-strafing, momentum and ramps that don't snag on their seams.
- In development
Surf first
Angled ramps, stages and timed runs. Surf is where we start and what everything else is built on.
- In development
Community maps, credited
Maps come from the community and keep their mapper's name on them, always.
- Planned
Runs you can trust
The server replays each run from your inputs, so a time means the same at any ping. Replays for finished runs.
- Planned
More modes later
Bhop, deathrun and arcade mini-games, all riding on the same movement.
03 · Hands on
The strafe lab.
A tiny, simplified model of how air-strafing works. Hold a strafe key and turn your view the same way, and your speed climbs. It isn't the game, just a taste of the idea.

- Your push
Try it: click the box, hold D and sweep your mouse to the right (or tap the arrow keys). Keep your view turning the way you push and the gold arrow gets longer. Push without turning and nothing happens. Autopilot shows what a perfect run looks like.
The price
Free to play. Really.
Movement Arcade doesn't cost anything to play. The plan is that anything we might ever sell is cosmetic only, never speed and never an advantage.
- No price tag on the game
- Cosmetic-only extras (planned)
- Every mode on the same movement
04 · Community maps
Made by mappers. Credited like it matters.
Surf has a huge community of mapmakers, and their work is why the genre is still alive. Movement Arcade ships community-made maps and every map carries its mapper's name.
If you made a map and would like it taken down, tell us and it comes down. No fuss.
