SkateBIRD for Windows

Watch birds skateboard

SkateBIRD is a video game developed by Glass Bottom Games. And as the name suggests, this game is all about skateboarding. However, instead of human-like characters playing the sport, you will need to control birds. That is right—the game involves colorful birds skateboarding in bird-sized parks. Watch these little fellows grind on bendy straws or kick-flip over staplers in this fun skateboarding game.

Birds go skateboarding

In the past, video game fanatics are treated with various TonyHawk’s Pro Skater games. But that era seemed to have been put to an end—by a game with an actual hawk, no less. In SkateBIRD, you will play the little bird who wishes to help his Big Friend, who hung up his board for good. With the power of being a chill little skateboarding bird, you will skateboard to make Big Friend see that all is not lost.

You may be tiny, but the more you skateboard, the more following you will get. Soon, other birds will come to check your park, and the world of bird skateboarding will open up. You and your other bird friends will expand your horizons and look for other parks where you can show your stuff.

Your skate park in the game is a makeshift one made from supplies you see at home or in school. You can practice your flips over staplers or try grinding not on metal railings but on bendy straws. You can also carve killer lines through the entire park made from cardboards and sticky tapes.

SkateBIRD comes with simple controls that fans of Tony Hawk games will be familiar with. If you have played skateboarding games before, playing this one will be a breeze.

Dress them up

Aside from showing off your Tiny Hawk skills, SkateBIRD also offers other features that make your experience even better. For one, by playing more, you can unlock rewards, including new bird-sized courses. With this, you won’t be stuck with your homemade park.

Moreover, playing will not only attract a massive bird following. You can actually unlock new birds that you can use to play. And what makes it more interesting is the fact that you can dress the birds up. The game comes with various accessories, like caps and headsets, which you can use to make your character look like a real skateboarder.

Finally, SkateBIRD will let you skate to an original low-fi birb-hop soundtrack as you skate. You can even drop your MP3 file or unlock music mixtapes, which you can use as an accompaniment.

Move over Tony Hawk

Overall, SkateBIRD is a fun game to try. While it does not have anything new, gameplaywise, the game offers a fresh vibe by using birds as its characters. It comes with a great cartoon-ish design that compliments the entire premise. Add in music accompaniment, and you have an entertaining arcade game.
