The theming is very cute, and the addition of a double jump could have opened up a lot of possibilities. The level design is cluttered and sparse at the same time and is more focused on the theming rather than gameplay. There is very little variety in the tricks you can perform. However, it seems that they couldn't figure out what makes skating games fun. The team behind SkateBird obviously likes skating games and wanted to create something like that. Pros: ~The quirkieness is nice and the birds are somewhat entertaining ~There is a lot of birds and outfits to choose from ~You can set respawn points and quickly respawn at them … Full Review » So there are multiple times when you want to grind that you will stall instead. ~The grind button and stall button are both the same. Its mostly ska which i like but its low end bands so some songs are really bad. They only use like 4 bands so theres not much variety. You start off with like 8 generic songs and each level you can find some more. ~The soundtrack is very small so you end up listening to the same songs over and over again. The ~The double jump would be really fun but it is very laggy and when you use it on quarterpipes it just launches you in a random direction. You have to collect "SKATE" just like in tony hawk and to collect them you have to hit them perfectly. You fall constantly ~The hitboxes for pickups are insanely small. If you bump something you will probably fall. ~You fall randomly, and due to laggy controls & weird camera angles you will crash a lot doing simple tricks.

You could do a huge combo and the guage wont fill up at all. When you crash the gauge goes to 0 (see next issue), and the gauge fills up arbitrarily. While this is very annoying, there are two issues that make this unbearable. So half of the quarter pipes are inaccessibly without maximum Fancy. The issue with it is that unless the gauge is full, there are many quarter pipes that you are not able to reach the top of. Issues: ~The camera constantly clips or freaks out ~A really big mechanic of the game is the "fancy" gauge, its kinda like the special bar in tony hawk but in skatebird it controls your maximum speed. They will need to make significant tuneups and modifications to the game mechanics before it is worth buying. At the current moment this game is not worth getting at all. Tony hawk 1 is 10x less clunky and more refined than this game and that game was made like 20 years ago. While this gave has some heart, the games mechanics are so unpolished that I dont think they actually play tested it. There are so many things wrong with the game that you will be extremely frustrated very quickly. There are so many things wrong with the game that you I wanted to love this game so much but after playing for a couple hours i just cant.
