You can make it harder to bail or get rid of the balance mini-game entirely. The physics in general can be a pain in SkateBIRD, even though you’re able to tune them. And SkateBIRD is a game that seems to take pride in being laid-back and accessible, then there are these finicky tasks that get in the way. The type where you swear you’re going through the process correctly but the game just won’t accept it. Shouting threats at the screen didn’t help. There was also this goal where I had to reach something that was high up out of a quarter-pipe, and my bird just refused to transfer out and grab it. I’m not even sure if I did it right in the end, it just finally accepted it. I got stuck on the second level trying to fan bounce. Likewise, they range from simple and pointless to controller-breakingly frustrating. They range from collecting floating letters, to getting big combos, to starting fires. There’s usually just under 20 to get through. In any case, you don’t have to clear all the goals, but most of them. Apparently, when they say mini-map, they mean a picture of the level on the pause screen, which I really didn’t figure out until the third level. You’re supposed to focus on the gold dots on the mini-map, but this confused me because there is no mini-map.
There are five stages and the goal is to clear as many of the quests that are scattered throughout. It’s really not a great story, but some of the birds have character arcs that… are there and get resolved. This starts by simply cleaning their apartment, but proceeds to corporate sabotage. The story involves aiding the bird’s “Big Friend,” a human whose job has them down. I’m okay with it, honestly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone wanted to reach through the screen and slap the text boxes. A scream is a screm and a bird is a birb. Like, that sort of speech that maybe started with Doge. With that in mind, hopefully you have the stomach for meme talk. There’s more to unlock hidden in the environment, just in case you don’t think your feathered friend is fashionable enough. You can customize the crap out of your avian skater, choosing from a load of different species, then decking them out with all kinds of gear.
You’re really here for the bird, though, right? I have good news: the bird is great. It’s nowhere near as tight, and that’s going to take some getting used to. The landings lack impact, the grinding feels frictionless, falling off your board is an appropriately wholesome experience. Floatier is perhaps the more appropriate term. The physics are entirely different because of this, and by different, I mean screwier. You can flap your wings and have to grab your board with your beak. You’re a bird! You have hollow bones and you are filled with fluff and birdseed. The controls will be familiar to anyone who played THPS, but the actual feel of the game will not. You have a button for grab, grind, and flip, and if you rock the control stick up and down, you’ll go into a manual.
#SKATEBIRD SCREM PRO#
To answer everyone’s first question, SkateBIRD is more Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater than it is Skate. For this particular game, we’re going to need to delve into what makes a skateboard game “good.” What was Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater’s special sauce? Was it the challenge? The tight controls? The soundtrack? Then we’re in trouble here. Okay, so you probably also want to know if it’s actually any good, which is a much more complicated topic of discussion.
#SKATEBIRD SCREM SERIES#
SkateBIRD ( PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch) Does the concept of a small bird riding a skateboard appeal to you? Then we’re done here.
Let’s be honest you already know if you want to play SkateBIRD. Here we see the male birb as he attempts to impress the female with a sick kickflip
