Bike Rush
Biking is a great way to get around and one might even call it an essential skill with many careers built around it like Bike Rush. While you're not trying to be the best and fastest bike delivery guy out there, you are trying to win a bike race. The track isn't as safe and simple as all that since you'll be biking down a long street between rows of buildings and trying to avoid things while staying in front of the other bikers. This is the only way you can be the best biker (or cyclist) in this surprisingly steep city.
About Bike Rush
There's a certain amount of adrenaline that kicks in when doing any sports that involve speed such as biking. This game may not capture all the feelings of adrenaline but tries to convey it through what your biker is going through. You need to use the controls to enter a rhythm of pedaling and moving across the road sharply. This is how you find ways to surpass other cyclists and then avoid the upcoming obstacles without losing speed. The danger is that all it takes is one too harsh a brush with something solid to send you flying off your bike and end your career.
How to Play
Bike Rush is a 3D endless-runner about biking down a long and steep road as far as you can using only the mouse. To start cycling, move the cursor to the screen, hold the Left Mouse Button, and move the cursor left and right to simulate pedaling. Moving the cursor more to the left or the right will cause you to move to that part of the road. Holding onto the Left Mouse Button while airborne will make the cyclist try to do a flip. Taking your hand off the Left Mouse Button will slowly cause you to lose speed until you stop. The goal is to bike as fast and as long as possible before you fall off.
Before you start, you have the chance to gain and select a new skin for your bike and cyclist. After that, you can press start to begin cycling where you'll be positioned behind two other cyclists. The more you pedal, the more speed you build up which will help you overtake the others. As you go down the road, you'll encounter things like yellow arrow speed boosters, ramps that send you airborne, and roadblocks that will cause you to crash. Whenever you do fall off your bike, the run ends and you'll have to start over.
Tips and Tricks
Biking is about getting into a rhythm which you'll pick up when you start pedaling. You can keep the pedaling space small so that you can stay in the middle of the road for easier navigation. Remember to take your hand off the button for short ramps so that you don't crash from an incomplete flip.
