![]() Their job sucks, and lately, theyre barely ever. If that ain’t worth your $15, I dunno what is. Grind on bendy straws, kick-flip over staplers, and carve killer lines through cardboard and sticky tape parks, in SKATEBIRD® Youre a lonely lil bird, and your Big Friend has hung up their board for good. Plus, the dang Kickstarter page literally says the words “Tiny Hawk”. And as a bonus, it’s pretty dang fun already (there’s an alpha you can test out on the Kickstarter).įor disclosure purposes, I ABSOLUTELY backed this game as soon as I saw it on my Twitter feed and have enjoyed Glass Bottom Games’ offerings in the past, but that’s where any association ends! Floofy fun skating birbs can be yours as well if you head on over to the Kickstarter - the game is slated (if funded) to release on Windows, Mac and Linux, though the page suggests that other platforms are a possibility. Given I recently wrote about the overwhelming desire for EA to hurry up and announce Skate 4 already, I felt I absolutely needed to cover the REAL skateboarding game from E3. ![]() But the more you skate, the more birb friends you get, and your tiny skatepark gets bigger and bigger. SkateBIRD can be entertaining if you want to see a pigeon flapping through a skatepark in a top hat, but the unpolished gameplay and poor level design lessens its charms. Other than being A CUTE CUSTOMIZABLE BIRB THAT SKATEBOARDS, the backstory is that you’re a lonely bird whose Big Friend (read as: hooman) has stopped skating due to life in general being a drag. It has a lot of charm, but overall its not really worth raven about.

Naturally, ascribing to both of those beliefs means the perfect video game for me is one that combines the two.Ĭurrently being crowdfunded by the fine folks at Glass Bottom Games, purveyors of fine indie video games like noir adventure Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora and blocky punch-em-up Spartan Fist (both of which I own and enjoy, by the way), SkateBIRD is an upcoming video game about skateboarding birds “who try their best.” Via SkateBIRD’s kickstarter page Skatebird is a cute and original arcade skating game supported by great music, but the skating itself is crude by modern standards, the objectives are generally uninspired, and the camera is a regular hassle. This is not a numbered release, and thus is not a part of the Limited Run Games Collection.

While Devotion has no direct connection to SkateBIRD, the decision was made in solidarity with fellow indie developers. In December 2020, the company's founder, Megan Fox, released a statement that Glass Bottom Games will not release SkateBIRD on GOG following a controversial removal of the game Devotion. But don't expect the truly smooth flow of the Hawkster's outings. It's the arcadey kind of kickflipper, handling more like THUG than a Skate game. SkateBIRD's development had seen its fair share of shakiness outside of delays due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as the developers, Glass Bottom Games, had made the decision to pull its game from a certain storefront in advance.
