Rider – Stunt Bike Racing

Darryl Fike

It used to be good!...But then out of nowhere it started having the worst glitches. For example, when you go over a hill, and fly in the air, sometimes when you come back down, a wheel gets stuck under the track and instantly kills you. And this happens a lot. If Ketchapp would fix the bugs, I might actually get this game again.

Combining challenge and skill can really change how an application behaves. Online, this game has a severe problem with ads, too many of them. However, in terms of gameplay, the controls are far too simple. The Levels in the game are also EXTREMELY difficult, which is really misleading, despite the categories in the Levels.

Not a great game. The vehicle only flips one way when you touch the screen and despite my attempts to mess with the setting in the app and my phone the screen touches aren't always consistent in how far it flips the vehicle. The game isn't consistent with the speed of the vehicle either. It would be better if it had pedals for forward and backward rather than only being able to move forward and flip on direction. The ads aren't properly centered, so you have to close the game to close the ad.

Way to many ads, there's an ad every 2 times you die. The ads are also very inappropriate, especially since there are mostly kids playing the game. In general it's a good game. If there weren't any ads, or at least not as many inappropriate ones, then I would rate it 4 stars. The reason I wouldn't give it 5 is because sometimes it glitches, for example the car flips on its own or the ramps and others things don't work.

If Hill Climb Racing had a drunk cousin, this would be it. Physics are inconsistent as hell, poor geometry kills constantly, no variance in play so it gets repetitive quickly, and ads are way to frequent. I don't review many apps, and usually if I do it is because it was actually great. But this one was bad enough to warrant a warning not to get it.

I had this game a few years back and loved it. Now, they've done something to it and it's still good, but... Now, you randomly die for stupid stuff, like landing "wrong" even though you landed perfectly good. Also, the controls don't respond the same way consistently. Quite annoying. Used to be a really fun game but now it's more frustrating that anything else

Tried it, and its okay. The only app that has trouble detecting touch however, and not to mention the amount of ads that are unskipable, and the random popups asking to go to the google play store without telling me what for. My friend has no ads without paying, but I have nothing BUT ads. Would play again if it would work properly and have less ads.

This is a very fun addicting game and; best of all, you don't need an internet connection so I can play it on the subway. The only thing keeping it from a perfect score is one frustration. Because of the procedurally generated nature of the game and the precison and timing required to get through some of the obstacles, there will be situations where the speed you leave one obstacle makes it impossible to pass through the next. Otherwise, excellent!

Probably the best definition of what a mobile game should be. Little bite-sized content that keeps you addicted. This would work well as an arcade game. Controls are very easy to pick up. Just tap and hold, really. The graphics really fit the style too. Ads are a major problem, though. Very intrusive, long and unrelated. Play off Wi-Fi and keep data off.

Rider is an amazing looking game made great by slick, fast-paced game play... sometimes. Any instability in the bike causes flipping instead of acceleration, meaning the sometimes unpredictable physics in this game make for unpredictable game play. Even in very controlled obstacles, the ones designed more for the theatricality and experience than being a true obstacle, have inconsistencies that occasionally result in absurd deaths to which the player feels helpless. Falling platform obstacles, especially the descending steps, are prone to this. More often than not, the game runs pretty smoothly, but all of this is enough to offset the fun of ideal gameplay, at least for me. Also, the game cannot seem to decide whether it wants to be played fast and with confidence, or more cautiously. Some obstacles require a lot of speed initially to even be attempted, while others require timing, and punish a fast approach with either certain death or, more rarely, miraculous survival. This adds to the unpredictability, making this a game in which the player relies more on chance than the skill this game seems geared towards. All in all, a fun game when it runs smoothly, although it can be frustrating and very punishing. It looks beautiful and sounds great, but the game play unfortunately makes it not worth it for me. Developers, I recommend a general polishing of course obstacles, or perhaps just tuning the bike physics like the tire 'stickiness' or maybe flip speed when one tire is still in contact with the track. It would also help to re-evaluate some obstacles for a more consistent pace to the game. Last, a braking or at least front flip control might make a world of difference, but the revamp may not be cost effective and runs the risk of being even more like the games that popularized this type of game in the beginning. Thanks for all your work!
