Birb will simply decide not to be on the board anymore and begin rolling around on the ground. Pressing B will set you back up on your board.
In SkateBird, forward movement is a constant and you can slow yourself by holding the left control stick down, but it will only slow you. You will still careen into walls, rails, ramps, and other obstacles. It’s almost laughable how easy it is to knock yourself off your board because of obstacles, or sometimes for no reason at all.

They will only serve to complicate and frustrate simple tasks that, for some reason, have a time limit attached to them. This is a game that was in desperate need of updates to the controls even as demo phases rolled out, but the mistakes were attributed to the fact ‘they will improve at some point’ but they just never did. This reviewer is positively baffled that controls like this were considered the ‘final version’ for a full release game. The controls for Skatebird are some of the worst this reviewer has ever played with. They are sloppy, untested, constantly shift according to a camera angle that will shift wildly if it or you get stuck. They’ll range from ‘do tricks to amass this amount of points’ to ‘collect this amount of things in this amount of time lest you have to start over.’ You complete these missions in… some sort of sequence in order to help your, “Big Friend,” who every bird knows and is worried about.īig Friend apparently works hard, hates their job, and is constantly thinking about skateboarding because every environment they occupy is built more like a skatepark than a functional room. So it is then up to animals the size of apples, and a seagull, to team up across town to help Big Friend out. Of course you do this by collecting snacks, skating in circles, and shooting off fireworks in the middle of crowded town areas! It’s nice to have your pets, and your pets’ friends on your side. In SkateBird, you take control of a helpful skating bird that you design. You’ll make it look as ridiculous and strange as you wish it to look with hats, glasses, belts, rings, and its very own board. The ‘helpful’ part comes in as you move around each area on your skateboard and take random birds’ requests. Big Friend, Big Help How did all these birds get in here…?
