edit-- OK now, play Bike Mania 2 not 1.

 

[Janthran]

I think 500 is the max score per level.

Wow, this game is terrible. I suck at it hard but it's not even fun. Usually I enjoy games that I suck at since I love a challenge, but I can't stand the finicky controls and messed up physics.

Bike Mania 2 doesn't give me any score at all.

How is that possible? The controls are so bad that the bike spazzes out even when I don't touch the controls at all!

Scoring is time based. The faster you beat the level, the more points you get. After about three minutes on a level, you get no points.

I got up till level 12 and stopped, might try again tomorrow. .-.

Ok after playing for 2 hours, I officially quit, looks like I have no talent in this shit after all...

It took me five minutes in one try just to get past the stupid tires at the beginning!

 

[Zerosuit connor]

Wooh! After hours of playing i am at 3rd place

 

[gifi4]

Tried 1st level, took 27 seconds (roughly) to get past, tried level 2, RAGE from the beginning after the first jump, that M stone thing was where I screwed up, say 5/6 times before quiting...

edit: restarted level 1, completed in 19 seconds, one try.

This game is pretty damned bad.
I mean there are hundreds of variations of the game but it boils down to this one having the most cumbersome physics engine and a bad control scheme, not worth my wasting my time playing something of such bad quality.

Try something good, like happy wheels instead.

Edit: Actually with some perseverance and practice, this game is entirely surmountable but pretty tough.
Some of the earlier levels seem a bit more bullshit than the later ones though, and it's pretty mean that you can get 0 points for taking too long.
The physics still work against you an awful lot though.

Edit: Balls, I got a score of 3504, but the arcade glitched and did not accept my score.

Edit: I persevered and got the top score of 4152, I'll probably give it another shot because of the levels I got 0 points on.
I guess I couldn't resist the challenge of overcoming something I thought was so flawed, but it really isn't when you get the hang of it.

Yes it is pretty bad english, it reminds me more of the Ghostbusters NES ending though.

Also, I've upped my high score to 4495, good luck beating it, I'm sure it's doable.

Can you make a video of yourself playing this? I want to see what it's suppose to look like when you actually do good lol
