The quirky bird skateboarding game SkateBIRD has officially been fully funded on Kickstarter. The game involves skating around tiny skate-park type areas as a small bird, all the while the game makes countless bird puns and encourages you for trying your best.
The Kickstarter for SkateBIRD was set up by one Megan Fox (no, not that Megan Fox). Fox is the head of the studio Glass Bottom Games, who was previously responsible for indie games such as Spartan Fist and another Kickstarter success in Hot Tin Roof, as well as some work on LEGO Universe. The game is planned to have several skate parks for the various birds to skate around in, as well as the option to create your own bird skater, another similarity of many that the game shares with the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise (there is actually a character called “Tiny Hawk” planned to be included in the game).
All stretch goals for the project were met for the Kickstarter, which ended up passing with over 300% funding. This extra cash will now allow players access to a full photo mode in order to take Polaroid pictures of their bird, pet the bird to their heart’s content, and explore multiple side missions which will help to flesh out the rise of bird skateboarding’s popularity in-universe, as well as the success of “Thrusher” magazine.
For a bit more on the premise of the game, the Kickstarter page for SkateBIRD has this to say:
SkateBIRD is planned for release sometime in 2020 for PC, and you can currently wishlist the game on Steam.
