![]() Or maybe free form jazz is more to your liking? Whatever it is, put your tunes together and jam. You can use your own mp3s to make in-game mix tapes, so you can still put together a killer mix for your shredding. But maybe you miss the punk tracks? That’s okay too. While playing, you’ll listen to tunes the games creator refers to as “low-fi birb-hop.” Not the punk tracks skate games are normally known for, and perhaps that’s a good thing. I tested both, and I definitely prefer doing this with a PS4 controller, but your tastes may differ. You can play using a controller or keyboard and mouse. Gameplay involves doing skate tricks, like kickflips, grinds, shuvits, and more. The game is all about skating around, but buried beneath it all is a story and a narrative about how one birb can make a difference. You’ll eventually unlock more parks, find new hats and other clothing, and even get chances to visit your human. Eventually, your birb friends will offer you a huge skate event, and competing in it will unlock a new skate park. They’ll give you a mission, like “score 5,000 on one trick,” or “do a blunt on the mini ramp.” By completing missions, you’ll unlock new missions and make new friends. You could just skate around endlessly for fun, or you can go to one of the other birds in the park. You skate around a small (literally, you’re a bird) skate park. The game can be as challenging or as difficult as you want to make it. To help finish the project, Glass Bottom Games founder and (only full-time) developer Megan Fox (not that Megan Fox) has taken to Kickstarter to complete her team’s vision. These things take time, and the birds just aren’t eating the bugs on their own. There’s an alpha version out now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, that you can test, but it still has quite a few bugs, and is still limited in scope. But besides putting birds on your deck design, could there be other ways to combine cute birds and skating? My favorite deck actually has birds on it, and you’ve likely seen it here before. Have I sold you on skating yet? No? What about a skating video game? No sweating, I promise! Okay, what if I told you it has cute birds?Īnother fun fact about me: I love birds. Plus, you can take a board almost anywhere, unlike a big ol’ dorky bike. If you’ve got the endurance for it, skating is even faster than biking. I’ve found it’s faster than cars, trains, and buses. Believe it or not, it’s one of the fastest ways to get around a city. It makes for a thrilling, fast, and eco-friendly commute. ![]() I mostly ride a mini-cruiser style longboard, but I did get into more technical street skating, to help improve my commute. ![]()
