Hill Rider

Hill Rider is a physics bike game where the goal is to ride as far as you can over bumpy hills without running out of fuel or landing on your head. With 10 bikes to ride and 6 very different maps to explore, from a quiet forest to an erupting volcano, there is always a new stretch of track to conquer.

The controls are easy to learn but take time to master. You hold the gas to speed up and the brake to slow down or roll backward. When your bike is in the air, the same buttons tilt it: gas leans you back and brake leans you forward. This means every jump is a small balancing act, because you need to land on your wheels to keep going. Fuel is always running low, so you must grab fuel cans along the way to keep the ride alive.

There is plenty to enjoy as you push further. You ride through forest, desert, mountains, snow, city and volcano maps, and each one has its own feel. Coins are scattered along the road, and power-ups appear to give you a hand:
- Nitro for a burst of speed
- Magnet to pull in nearby coins
- Shield to protect you for a short time
You can also show off with backflips and frontflips. The coins you collect go toward upgrades in the garage, where you can improve your engine, tires and fuel tank.

Some tips will help you travel further. Do not hold the gas all the time, because too much speed on a big hill can flip you over. Use small taps on gas and brake in the air to straighten the bike before landing. Always plan to reach the next fuel can, and slow down a little if you are unsure of what is coming. Spend your coins on upgrades such as a bigger fuel tank, since every improvement lets you go a bit further each run.

Hill Rider is a fun mix of balance, speed and steady progress. Start your engine and play it free in your browser on PC or mobile.
