Ever So Slightly Impressive Indie Bike Game

I'm downloading it as I type, but I just finished watching the videos, and there's only one word I can give in response to those. Wow.

It's great to see Indie developers trying to do something different from the mainstream but still trying to be cutting edge at the same time.

I normally love bike games, but the ridiculousness of some of the tracks in that one puts me right off. Its like Shaun Southern's Kickstart on a bad trip.

It is a bit like Kickstart. The track design certainly is pretty mad, but it's damn good fun too. It's tricky keeping the bike upright ( but then it was in Kickstart too ) although there may be other game modes I haven't tried yet which are easier or harder. The physics is very impressive, and well used. You really do feel that the wheels are driving the bike and having the wheels spinning when you land can just make the difference between hanging on and not hanging on.

If there was a track editor, I'd be a customer by now. As it is, I'll play the demo a bit more before I decide.

Looks like a boring version of Elasto Mania, with fewer tracks and prettier 3D graphics. I'll pass, but thanks anyway.
