Pipe Riders
Leap into a world of irresponsible driving and geometric collisions in Oslo Albet's simple but breezily fun and fast-paced 3D racing game! Swoop around the screen across 32 different courses, avoiding hazards and nabbing time bonuses, in an effort to lock in the high score and prove once again what all adults know... driving in the real world is boring.

You know, a little more effort, detail, variation, etc., and this would have been a lot like S.T.U.N Runner, that old arcade game.
I'm only at the 5th level and I have no real chance for gold medals, but I love this one!

I had a feeling that my previous comment would get deleted, no matter how G rated I phrased it. Sigh.
Does anyone else instinctively try to time hitting the accelerator with the green light on every racing game thanks to Mario Kart? I can never really tell if it gives me a boost, but I like to think it does.
Oh, and this game is really fun, even though I have no expectations of getting anything higher than an occasional silver.
Awesome game! :D
It would make more sense (IMO) if the throttle was on by default, without having to press 'up'. Because usually we want to go as fast as possible and only occasionally break (maybe with 'down' key?).. so we end up with a tired finger and a worn out 'up' key :P
I've found a bug: I got destroyed near the finish line so the 'try again' menu showed up, but behind it the bike still moves a little before the screen turns black, making my bike reach the finish line. This caused the "you've finished" menu to show up behind the current menu! So I clicked to go to the main menu and two samples of the same music started playing at the same time.
Weird :P
Seems like it's really easy to get into the hang of playing Survival mode. On Normal difficulty and the green track (which would probably be the first set-up anyone tries), I had a run last well over 10 minutes. The only reason the game ended was because I decided to let it go without my input.
BuenoCabra... it does have a boost if you time it perfectly, although it seems to have to be even more precise than Mario Kart. You'll know you got it when the track flashes white and you fly forward, like when you drive over a boost panel.
I thought so, since I shot up over 300 at the start a couple of times. Thanks for the confirmation! :)
