Cycle Sprint
Getting around is something we need to think about on a daily basis with cycling being one of the healthiest and most affordable options that also has a competitive side as seen in games like Cycle Sprint. There are cycling clubs all around the world with some countries taking it more seriously than others. Bike races can be just as intense as foot, car, and any other type of race with cyclists being among the type athletes in the world. You'll get to take a step on their pedals as you try to manage your energy and keep a building pace to take first place.
About Cycle Sprint
Vehicles and games are common but bicycles aren't the most popular since they don't go super fast and won't explode in a spectacular fashion. This game focuses entirely on the sports side of cycling as you find yourself taking the place of a pro cyclist in a race that will follow a route that cuts across a country. Even completing just one leg of the journey is considered quite an amazing feat. It takes months of training but you can get into a similar mindset as soon as you start playing and digitally pedaling with all your might and staying hydrated.
How to Play
Cycle Sprint is a 2.5D racing game about cycling across a country using the keyboard. Your cyclist will constantly pedal at a pace that is slightly faster than the other cyclists as long as they're able. The track is clear meaning that you need to use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move to the different lanes. To get extra speed, you can hold down the Spacebar. The goal is to complete the whole race (in 21 separate parts) and earn a combined score that earns you first place.
Before the race starts, you can choose a track across Italy, France, or Spain. You can also customize your cyclist and the bicycle to add your own style. When the race begins, your cyclist will start in last place and start making their way to the front from the left to the right side of the screen. You'll need to switch lanes in order to avoid other cyclists. Your speed and potential to boost are represented by a dwindling blue stamina bar that appears above your cyclist. You can replenish it by collecting water bottles that will be indicated by blinking dotted lines. If you run out of stamina, your cyclist will start to lose speed.
To keep track of your progress in the race, you can see the meter at the top of the screen. Once you cross the finish line, you'll receive a score based on the position you finished. Your final position will be the total amount of points you've gained across the different portions of the race.
Tips and Tricks
The biggest challenge is stamina management which means that you should save your boosting until you get closer to the end. You need to be precise when collecting water bottles by hitting them head-on. Be careful when overtaking other cyclists as coming into contact with them can cause you to become entangled which will slow you down significantly.
