In SkateBird, players take on the role of a “chill little skateboarding bird” whose human friend is never home to play, thanks to their job. Luckily, the bird is an enterprising sort and, to help pass the time, has constructed a miniature skating paradise in the form of a homemade skatepark. Here, players can trick and grind, completing missions and skating their best skate to unlock new bird-sized courses, attract a loyal bird following, and somehow fix their human friend’s life. SkateBird’s action is designed around intuitive, accessibility minded controls, as detailed in this video, so players can “focus on the free-flowing fun”. There are cosmetics to unlock and hidden mixtapes to find along the way, expanding the game’s “low-fi birb-hop soundtrack”.
