Want do you get when you cross skateboarding with cute little birds flapping around? SkateBIRD is the answer.

Funded on Kickstarter originally back in 2019 with close to $70K, it's a promising and somewhat hilarious skating game and now you've got a fresh chance to try it out. The demo has once again returned, and it seems to give been updated too since last I played it.

"You're a lonely lil' bird, and your Big Friend has hung up their board for good. Their job sucks, and lately, they're barely ever home to play with you. You're gonna fix all that with the power of being a chill little skateboarding bird. You may be tiny, but the more you skate, the more friends you’ll make. Birds will come check out your park, help you find more parks, and together you'll (somehow) fix Big Friend's life! Above all else, skate birds try their best."

  • Explore lots of bird-sized parks, with simple controls familiar to any pro skating tiny hawk.
  • Find fancy clothing, secret mixtapes of new music, birds that need your help, and more!
  • Skate to an original low-fi birb-hop soundtrack - or drop in your own mp3s!

Try out the fresh demo on Steam. The full game is due to launch on August 12 with Linux support.

Another demo? Feels like I have been waiting forever for the developer to give me the bird!

I would say shut up and take my like for the joke but that would be rude.

Good joke, make laugh
