Skate & Boost

Hornet trades her sprint for rollerblades. Skate & Boost mashes Rocket League and Get To Work into Hollow Knight: Silksong: their real sounds, voices and music are read from your own installs while you play.

What you get

• Always-on skating. Speed builds and carries, Hornet coasts when you let go, keeps momentum through jumps, speeds up downhill and brakes when you reverse, with Get To Work's rollerblade rolling, landing and braking sounds.
• Rocket League boost. Hold boost to rocket forward on a flame trail. The meter works like Rocket League's: start with 33, drain 33.3 per second, small pads give 12 and the big orb fills to 100. Pads appear in every room and respawn. You hear Rocket League's real boost and pickup sounds.
• Supersonic. Hold top speed to go supersonic with Rocket League's supersonic sound. Defeat an enemy while supersonic, or get knocked out, and you hear its demolition explosion.
• CDawgVA narration. Get To Work's narrator introduces your run and reacts when Hornet is hit, dies or survives a big fall.
• The Grindset radio. Every few minutes a Grindset podcast episode plays with its title on screen; music ducks while someone talks.
• Get To Work soundtrack in place of Silksong's music.
• Single player.

Controls

Move as usual: Hornet always skates. Boost is the first key Silksong isn't already using out of Left Shift, Left Ctrl, G, B, R, E (shown under the meter); on a gamepad, the first free one of left stick click, LB, RB, LT, RT. Change it, or turn the soundtrack, radio and narrator off, in BepInEx/config/gg.melty.skateandboost.cfg.

Games you need

• Hollow Knight: Silksong, the game you play (BepInEx 5 is installed for you).
• Rocket League (Steam or Epic) for the boost, pickup, supersonic and demolition sounds. It is never launched or modded.
• Get To Work (Steam) for the narrator, podcast, music and rollerblade sounds. If it is missing, the mod says so on screen and plays without them.

The first start decodes the sounds it needs into %LOCALAPPDATA%/SkateAndBoost (about 85 MB).
