Skateboarding birds? That's exactly what SkateBIRD from Glass Bottom Games will provide

Glass Bottom Games, developer of Spartan Fist and Hot Tin Roof have announced SkateBIRD and it looks hilariously fun.

Drop in, and be a skateboarding bird. Grind on bendy straws, kickflip over staplers, and carve killer lines through cardboard and sticky tape parks. Skate an expansively tiny world with simple controls even a Hawk named Tony would dig.

Not only does it look amusing, it will be coming to Linux too so that's obviously another tick in the box.

Honestly, I would have written off such an idea as something too silly. However, after watching the trailer I genuinely think it actually looks quite good. My heart melted a little seeing the flapping while in the air, so sweet.

• 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!

You can follow it and wishlist on Steam. It's due out sometime next year, no proper date has been mentioned yet.
