Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So many cool jumps, flips, loops. Awesome.
Great game amazing best game we've ever played.
In iPhone you can't make a game.
Love this game and hope it stays alive indefinitely. The default mobile phone controls arent great, but we used the editor to find the confit that works great for us. We now play better on our phone than on the computer.
Hi guys we play this on our computer to and the game is so awesome you earn coins and get cool hats! Btw our user on the game is Madelynthedaredevil. If any of the people we met on the game Hi! This isnt bad at all not even close to bad! We got the mobile app to, still good on that too! Btw means by the way. Btw you can also log in to forums if you wanna know lemme help. 1. You see something called forums right on the blue bar on the bottom? Press it. 2. Look at the instructions that were put. 3. Press the log in button. 4. Put in your username 5. Enter the password that you logged in the game with. But, this can only be done a computer we think. Overall its a good game! By the way call us Madelyn.
It is an amazing game but we would like if we could make tracks in the mobile app and not just pc but we recommend installing this game.
This is gud (g-oo-d) but, GIVE MEH MORE AUTO LEVELS!! Im trying to be pushy… Thank you. Hey.
We have been playing this game for about 6 years now, mostly all on the computer. We have grown a pretty concrete account and have had loads of fun creating tracks! We feel like this game needs to be advertised more on different websites and such to get the popularity back. If you are seeing this, our account is TrackMaker17 (~600 subs), and we will sub you back! :).
We can remember playing Free Rider over ten years ago on our moms computer for hours on end. We had a game console but for some reason kept coming back to this addicting little game. Now we play it on our phone all the time and Im enjoying it, dare we say, even more! The controls are every bit as smooth as they are on keyboard but now we can play it in the bathr…on the go.
Im gonna say this right now we typically dont like any mobile games. For a mobile game controls were super easy to learn and gave you a PC experience. We think that levels chosen for campaigns and such are great for starters and developers should definitely continue with this project. We were impressed. One feature we would really like to see in the future is the ability to sign in with your Google account. Other than that, everything is great, and big credit to the developers who put so much effort into making this a mobile app. Cheers! ItsColinGuys.
Not gonna lie, this is probably one of the best bike games we have ever played. We first discovered the website version, and our love of this game took off from there. When we found out about the app, immediately downloaded it. We really love how much creativeness was put in to all of the levels, and we love the creations made by the community as well. Keep up the great work.
We would give 5 stars but daily track is always too hard.
We love playing this game, we absolutely love physics games, but sometimes we want to build a track while away from home, for example empty place with just anti gravity to spin to our hearts content, but we cant ;( due to the fact we cant edit on the phone.
Dont get us wrong, this is an amazing game. The controls are easy to learn, there are amazing levels for beginners and pros alike, and its just overall a lot of fun. However, that fun doesnt continue when offline. If they added tracks that you could play offline, then this app would be outstanding.
The sole reason we got the app was to draw a track, but we can't.
We remember playing line rider/free rider on pc back in the day. Was more fun then. We like the fact that its still community based tracks, but like 80% are garbage. We remember spending days making tracks that our friends all loved. Basically can complete most of these races in under 10 seconds. Ill keep the game installed, as long as there are longer, better, more fun tracks added to the roster of tracks. Im tired of riding a bike off a square AS LONG AS THE BIKE and immediately getting the star. Thats not fun for anybody. Hoping mods read this, because these trash tracks are making this game deleteable to say the least.
Fun but youre not able to draw your own maps which was the best part of all the Free Riders.
For some reason, the game wont go full screen when we load a level. Its full screen until Im in a level playing, then everything compacts to one side of the screen.
We were promised we were able to make tracks but we cant.
They have more features, and the gameplay is better. Where is the level design? This is a horrible app, they need to add level design.
The reason people love these games is building their own levels. YOU CANT! Not on this app.
You should add motorcycles, four wheelers, and electric scooters.
Great game, pls add support for drawing tracks!!! We play online a lot too. (Check out our tracks @bob8898).
Wish you could build your own tracks.
Everything works great, except sometimes we will tap the tilt left and it will tilt right because we were reversed when we spawned from a checkpoint, for example. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. It's just a minor setback. Only annoying on harder levels with fewer checkpoints. Otherwise, we totally dig the diverse map styles and other gameplay features.
Once we got a hang of the controls, we were hooked. Lots and lots of variety with levels and the added ghost player makes it more competitive. We spent the dollar to get rid of the ads and it was absolutely worth it. Having said that, the performance is a bit choppy, especially when first launched. Im running the latest iOS on our iPhone 6, recently got our battery replaced, and frequently experience a lot of lag for the first few minutes after launching the game. Then it gets smooth again. However, our phone overheats and crashes if we play for more than 15 minutes.
They game is fun and get odds on prizes, except when your trying to get the last 5, it seems the Odds of getting those are 0 so you they have a reason to make you keep watching adds, dropped over 10k coins with always having the 300% increased odds and not a single prize when it came to getting the last 5.
When Im in school we play this and we love the offline game one.
One of the reasons we think this is the best free game ever is because it runs really good and feels good too.
This game is good but bad because we seem to not be able to create a track-.
This is a great game but the screen is so small! Can you please make iPhone X support? Thanks.
Update 2/1/18: Review still stands. Latest update did not fix any of the issues we were having. Original review Sloppy interface and some buttons dont do anything, yet remain on the screen. Not optimized for iOS or touch screen. Drains battery extremely fast and heats up our iPhone 7.
The screen has black bars left and right AND below!! Why is the screen only filling up a third of ours? We already took screenshots and sent them in but apparently that was a waste of time.
The game is well made and looks nice, but controls are weird. It doesnt matter what you do any input will cause you to crash. However if you hold forward than you can complete any level, so whats the fun in it.
We LOVE THIS GAME ITS FUNNY WHEN YOU FAIL ITS STICK FIGURES and who doesnt like stick figures AND YOU PEOPLE WHO LIKES BACK FLIPS,FRONT FLIPS, AND MORE RADICAL THINGS THEN YOU SHOULD Definitely download this game.
Someone decided to put the advertisement banner over the checkpoint flag restart and pause buttons. Please fix asap.
We loved the game when there were occasional ads. There werent any issues with the gameplay. Now the ads take up half the screen and you cant see what youre doing.
It's terrible if you want to know why ask.
This is a great game, only downside is sometimes while playing it we'll be sent to the App Store while we're in the middle of a level, then when we try exiting the App Store and back to the game it relaunches us back to the AppStore and won't stop until we exit the game and reload it.
Okay the games amazing and we're a good player but when you play other bmx games usually the bikes more durable, for example in this game if you are riding the bmx on a straight line and if you even tap L the tiniest bit you will fall backwards same when your landing the bike when u go up a ramp, and it doesn't say the difference between the mountain bike and the bmx, so can u tell us what's the difference or is it just looks.
Fun game everything is great but the lean is just too sensitive or needs a sensitivity setting.
Good game but should have track editor in the main menu.
We used to play free rider 2. When we discovered this game on mobile, we had to get it. And its awesome!! We just with that there was something you get for leveling up because we dont understand the point of levels. But.. How do we make levels.
Not bad, responsive developer. That counts for a lot.
We have been playing this game for a very long time on the PC and when we saw it here we just had to try it out! We love the game so far but one thing that we would really love to see in the future is customizable bikes.
It's an okay game but when we played it had a couple of glitches with us going through the map if we hit the ground too hard.
Good, but it won't let us create an account so we can't like tracks that other people make.
Your bonus points math you get at the end of games is messed up. Once you came out with the new update with the new hats we started getting less points at the end of games then we noticed it's just all screwed up. Also we noticed it's a lot harder to win hats and we're getting sick of how much worse the odds are we're close to deleting this game.
We updated the app, and now we can't open it. Tried to delete and get it back but it wasn't working. It would be noce to have a fix. We enjoy this game.
Same levels over and over and we paid.
