![]() The game is being developed by indie developer Glass Bottom Games, who had previously developed the first person roguelite Spartan Fist. The game was first announced in November 2018. The bird takes up skateboarding as a means of getting the human's attention, and getting them back into skateboarding in efforts of making them happy again. The game follows a small pet bird, who is saddened that their unnamed human owner no longer skateboards or is around much due to their new job that they hate. Tricks are more simple to perform and lead to over-the-top tricks, unlike games like Skate, which focus on realism in trick performing. Similar to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games, gameplay is a mixture of performing skateboard tricks, exploration, and item collection. Levels take place in a similar setting to the Micro Machines series of video games, with small-scaled "bird-sized skateparks" taking place across play areas of a house across real-life objects such as pencils, erasers, and other desktop type items. The game plays similarly to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series of video games, except for the player controlling a small bird on a skateboard instead of a human. It was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Amazon Luna on September 16, 2021.

It’s an inherently silly idea that’s treated with an outsized amount of respect, and it really does look and feel like that’s a tiny bird on that board doing the best they can to nail tricks and have fun.Īnd it was that level of polish on the obstacle avoidance that Fox said she was particularly proud of. I’ve been playing the demo for a few minutes every night after E3 work to relax, and it’s the small details and animations that drive home the fact that this is a bird riding a skateboard that makes the whole thing work so well. “Even with stretch goals, which could push launch more into summer, I want to stay tight and small,” she said. Keeping the game small had always been part of the strategy. $20k really was/is enough to finish the game as I wanted, as a result.” The luxurious barn offices Megan Fox It’s also just me doing most of the work - Alex does the birb, Nathan the music, Anthony Alfonso is creating the sticker art, etc, but outside of those razor sharp bits of asset work, it’s me doing the rest. “My burn rate is stupid low compared to anyone who lives in a city. “I live in a small town west, over the water, of Seattle, and work out of the second floor of a barn,” Fox stated. The Kickstarter had a $20,000 goal, which Fox says will be enough to finish the game, although stretch goals may increase the scope slightly. Not that Skatebird was ever meant to compete with the big names in skating games, especially with a concept that focuses on the absurdity of cute birds skating. It helps that Skatebird is literally the only skateboarding game discussed at E3 both Skate 4 and Session were no shows. ![]() ![]() PLZ RT! Share with your birb friends!
