You can go download a demo of SkateBIRD RIGHT NOW: https://store.steampowered.com/app/971030/SkateBIRD/

It’s up as part of Steam’s Summer of Games festival thingy, so the demo will be up for about a week. You’ve got time. Try it out, have fun! One big change from prior demos is we’ve spread the playable area out a lot, and we’ve actually added collisions (albeit crappy lazy ones still) to the entire map. There isn’t anything to find there yet, but it’s a definite “yet” - there will be. This is because we’ve realized that fewer larger maps, with more space, feels a lot more fun than more smaller maps. I had this thing where, at the behest of Xalavier (THANK YOU XALAVIER), I iterated and just half-again’ed the distances between everything, and suddenly I was having more fun, other players were reporting they weren’t constantly bailing anymore, and it just… gelled. Then when you expand it like that, it’s like, well, why NOT let you skate around on the floor? Everyone had fun doing that, so sure. If we’re not trying to pepper everything with maximum density skate objects, it gets a lot easier to fill more space, and then that’s just fun, you know?

Point is, demo’s live, go have fun! Curious to see how folks like this one vs prior demos. Let us know on Discord and stuff!
