Review V1CGaming 1/5 · Dec 30, 2021

Ouch!

It's one of the worst games of the year. Despite being an indie game, it is obvious that it was very poorly made. Extremely buggy, bad mechanics, it's not fun at all. Even the graphics, which despite pulling a simpler style, are very buggy, with horrible textures in some places.

I'm sad. SkateBird isn't very good. The birbs are cute, but this game needs a lot of work. There's not a lot of personality to the game, the environments are very generic and lack any kind of spirited or motivated art direction. I would have loved something that included environments that match the visual appeal of the birds, but it's all very sterile and bland.

The controls are also a problem. Everything is incredibly stiff, and the camera is a nightmare to control. *SakteBird. is constantly fight against my every input and that makes it very hard to enjoy.

I didn't have astronomical hopes for this, I just wanted cute skater birds, but so far it is a letdown.

It seems like I'm ragging on indies, but I was just so excited for Art of Rally that I was sad when it wasn't as good …

It's a bird that skates and does tricks. I don't why but this game sounds so fascinating.

Also the best youtube comment - "If this game doesn't feature a Hawk named Tony it's a huge missed opportunity.."
