All of these frustrations then got compounded by random drops in performance that only a full restart of the software could solve-both in the Switch’s docked and handheld modes.

Even when the camera would behave, that just opened the door for other strange behavior: my cool bird would clip right through ramps and walls, the process of gaining momentum would stall out, and some tricks completely stop registering during various objectives. By the time I reached the admittedly clever final “skatepark,” I would find myself remarking surprise when the camera wouldn’t get stuck in place mid-trick than the opposite, which is not a great feeling. Keeping in mind that I was working from a Nintendo Switch copy of the game, I found myself pretty frequently fighting everything around me. This is never fun to do, but since there’s a lot more to take from SkateBIRD, it’s best to rip off this bandage right away-playing this game is pretty rough.

Unfortunately in practice, SkateBIRD plays more like Skate went on a drunken bender with Goat Simulator than it does Tony Hawk but with a real hawk. Naturally, this is all very cute and it’s very easy to fall in love with the concept. SkateBIRD, as the title implies, is very much a you-got-chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter premise. Thankfully over the past couple of years, there’s been an influx of games of both varieties with the natural culmination being SkateBIRD. While other secret skaters are yet to be seen, there’s sure to be more as Glass Bottom Games continues to make more Skatebird updates.There are two specific sub-genres in games that I particularly love: the “be an animal that doesn’t have to pay rent” and the “skateboarder” genre, because I cannot be either of these things. Each come customizable, just like the birds with their own added flair racing down the skateparks. One revealed in the Skatebird trailer is the eponymous Among Us crewmate who slides in with their own cosmetics.

Skatebird video update#
With that in mind, this new update also brings some secret characters. A brand new course to skate in is a great addition to the already expansive base release that showcased the scale of space birds are more comfortable with. While the release is the first big update since the 1.0 launch just 8 months ago, it’s a great support update into the first year of the launch. Why Does The Skatebird 1.7 Update Include An Among Us Crewmate Cameo? As part of the Wholesome Direct showcasing a slew of upcoming games, the Skatebird 1.7 update launches today with new cosmetics and even an Among Us crewmate cameo. However, it seems that Glass Bottom Games is returning to the title with a brand new free update launching today.


For the retail price of $20, the game certainly has quite a lot to keep many fans that like to finish objectives or tune a high score. Yet, since release, the title hasn’t received too much post-launch support. Ranging from skating to sandbox, many fans were intrigued by the simulation title. Instantly recognizable as a remix of Tony Hawk Pro Skater appeal, the title drew in a large audience of players. For instance, Glass Bottom Games, who released Skatebird last September. These radical new games often spurn into creating their own representation of a classic video game format. Bringing together and meshing new and unique ideas are quite commonly found through indie game development spaces. Indie titles are often some of the most creative outlets in the gaming industry.
