If nothing else, tiny birds are cute as heck. SkateBIRD is here to bring this brilliant idea to life. For example, in the first area, there’s a tape that you can collect to. I’d love to see a wider variety of bird sizes, but I understand why they’re not available. There are tapes hidden around every skatepark in Skatebird, each unlocking a set of tracks from a band.

On the other hand, you start out with an aggressive amount of bird customization available. One positive of Skatebird is its soundtrack.A licensed soundtrack is a hallmark of the skating genre, but Skatebird is an indie game thats found a great alternative.The game makes the best of what it has access to, which includes a mix of low-fi tracks with bird noises in the background, and pop-punk tracks that wouldnt feel out of place in a major extreme sports game. I loved every song I heard, the first dozen times I heard them. It turns out the song list is pretty short at the start.
#SKATEBIRD SOUNDTRACK FULL#
The soundtracks should be your number one priority. The soundtrack itself is easily the most polished part of Skatebird, and it’s stacked with relaxing, skate-friendly earworms full of bird calls and samples of overzealous nature filmmakers from public domain documentaries. Skate For Your SoundtrackĪnother perk to these wide open stages is the ability to patiently explore every part of a level, finding things like soundtrack expansions and new outfit pieces.

For now, I have to assume that very small birds are just bad at steering with their feet and wings. It’s possible that no one else will have this problem with SkateBIRD. Again, I’m fully prepared to chalk some of this up to my habitual ineptitude.

A shocking amount of my time was spent zipping off of ledges after botching a hairpin turn. When combined, all these tiny problems make certain mistakes feel quite costly. Plus, the crash animation feels just a little too long. Your turn radius is crazy wide, which means narrow passages are a nightmare to navigate. You build up speed gradually, through quick dips onto half-pipes and ramps. Steering is somehow both the simplest and the most frustrating part of the overall mechanics.
