Since launching the SkateBIRD Kickstarter in 2019, we’ve worked to make the best game about skateboarding birds that the world has ever seen. SkateBIRD is a game about doing your best, explains Glass Bottom Games founder Megan Fox. Once again, the SkateBIRD release date is on. Glass Bottom Games has confirmed a release date for SkateBIRD on Nintendo Switch. There will also be various cosmetics and music tracks to unlock. In fact, if you can look past the few fixable trifles, for what it is we have a solid and enjoyable title. SkateBIRD will feature various bird-sized skate parks, with intuitive controls. Skatebird is a cute and original arcade skating game supported by great music, but the skating itself is crude, the objectives are boring, and the camera is a regular hassle. A better camera will be a vast improvement to the game, but it must be said that while there is room for improvement, SkateBIRD is hardly unplayable. The devs have committed to reworking the camera from the ground up however, this may take a while. It was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Amazon Luna on September 16, 2021. Everything would be going well, and I would be on that very last item but either the camera or a bad collision would betray me, resulting in my poor little bird tumbling off a ledge. Skatebird is a skateboarding video game developed by American studio Glass Bottom Games. Feathery Frustrationsīetween the occasionally finicky camera and the floaty controls, it was sometimes frustrating trying to do some of the missions that involved collecting a bunch of items.

Other than that, it’s serviceable enough and doesn’t get in the way too much, behaving for the most part as you would expect.

Skating past and through obstacles can cause it to stutter uncontrollably, although thankfully this usually only lasts for a few seconds. Would be a shame if the camera were to freak out right now
