If you hit a brick wall and it's ruining your fun, I do recommend messing a bit with the cheats. Super push makes gaining speed much easier, and I dunno where you are, but it does trivialize some of the more obnoxious challenges that have you doing things in tight spaces.

I try not to reply to everyone cus it seems like that'd be weird, but seriously, I read all of these and appreciate the comments! Team does too. Glad y'all are digging the game!

No worries! Also thanks for confirming that- I was pretty sure, but nice to know I didn't mess anything up, heh. Edited the game desc to include the version.

That would depend heavily on what flavor of Linux, what gamepad, drivers, etc. Unfortunately, I can't offer suggestions beyond that it's worked for us / our playtesters.

(sorry about that other reply, deleted 'em)

Sorry, but we don't really do a demo on this anymore. The "demo" that existed was this ancient pre-release version that, um. Well let's just say it was not good.

If you're still playing, I just uploaded the 2.0 build with the final big ol' content patch, new level and all that ;)

Oh! Sorry, not sure how I missed this comment. There's a devconsole you can enable with -devconsole, and then you can skip missions with MissionManager. commands. There's also a cheat system, but if you're on PC the console is faster.

it's true

yay! glad to hear it

You might want to check the Steam forums, there's some FAQs about common issues.

That aside, pop over to the discord, there's a #support channel, you'll probably be asked a bunch of questions about what OS, system specs, how does it crash, etc. https://discord.com/invite/glassbottommeg

There's key rebinding in the game, it's in the options menu. Also I'd recommend gamepad, but you can rebind gamepads too.

SkateBIRD is OUT on both Itch and Steam! (and also a bunch of console stores, but you should search us on the stores for that)

Grind on bendy straws, kickflip over staplers, and carve killer lines through cardboard and sticky tape parks. Above all else, skate birds try their best!

So What Is SkateBIRD?

You're a lonely lil' bird, and your Big Friend has hung up their board for good. Their job sucks, and lately, they're barely ever home to play with you. You're gonna fix all that with the power of being a chill little skateboarding bird. You may be tiny, but the more you skate, the more friends you’ll make. Birds will come check out your park, help you find more parks, and together you'll (somehow) fix Big Friend's life! Above all else, skate birds try their best.

• Explore lots of bird-sized parks, with simple controls familiar to any pro skating tiny hawk.
• Find fancy clothing, secret mixtapes of new music, birds that need your help, and more!
• Skate to an original low-fi birb-hop soundtrack!

And if you bail, you just get back up - because above all else, skate birds try their best!

Try it now. I think the settings that the GDC bundle people had me use were preventing downloads - I've thrown it into a more normal donationware mode. That work?

This should be downloadable for everyone who claimed a key (and you just can't buy it if you don't already own it, because you didn't get the relief bundle it was in). Is that not what you're seeing?

That is to say: I haven't changed anything about this since before the bundle started. It wasn't timed. It's just set to "you can't get this unless you got a key", and the keys were distributed via the bundle. So if you were able to access it before, but can't now, I'm kind of curious how? This page doesn't know anything about the bundle or the time limit it had or any of that.

Hiya folks! SkateBIRD's demo is over here: https://megalomanium.itch.io/skatebird-demo

... and it looks a bit like,

Grind on bendy straws, kick-flip over staplers, and carve killer lines through a cardboard and sticky tape park!

• Explore a bird-sized park, with simple controls familiar to any tiny hawk.
• Do a few high score challenges, and get a random birb every time you play!
• Skate to an original low-fi birb-hop soundtrack!

And if you bail, you just get back up - because above all else, skate birbs try their best!

We're also doing a Kickstarter associated with this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meganfox/skatebird-be-a-skateboarding-bird - but it already funded so I mean, hey, game's happening, everything from here's just gravy :D

This is the very much scaled-down alpha demo of the final game, so ya, there's gonna be bugs. It's small. But still fun! Read the Kickstarter if you want more details about how the final game's gonna look. I've written this description to cover this specific demo only.
