So just the other day I was casually surfing Twitter to see a video about some game called SkateBIRD. I’ll admit at first I swore I read it as Skate Birb, but would totally approve that as well since I have tons of Birb avatars in the game VR Chat. However, after watching the trailer for SkateBIRD I’ve been instantly hooked to see what’s coming next from Megan Fox and the team at Glass Bottom Games.
What is SkateBIRD you ask? You’re lonely, and your Big Friend has hung up their board for good. Their job sucks. You’re gonna fix all that with the power of being a chill little skateboarding bird, though. You may be tiny, and alone, but the more you skate, the more following you get on Tweeter (the premier bird social network) – the more the cozy world of bird skating will open up. You’ll make friends, birds will come check out your park, and maybe you’ll even host events! Above all else, skate birds just try really hard.
-
- Drive smooth flowing, physical-feeling skating with simple buttons, not stick gestures
- Feel immediately at home with the controls, if you dig Pro Skaters of a Hawk variety
- Explore a series of tiny worlds full of little objectives and secret tapes (scotch tapes mostly)
- Make bird friends by completing challenges, or just trying really hard
- Organize skate events with your new friends! Become a skate bird legend!
- (or just be really happy all your buds are having a good time with you)
Just learning about this game from the steam page has me wanting more for this game. Who doesn’t enjoy a nice skate boarding game? As someone who grew up on the entire franchise of Tony Hawk games this a game I didn’t know I really wanted to play until now. For the time being you can head over to the games Steam page here and wishlist them. Until then I’m totally going to reach out to the team to learn more about this title and how it came to be.
