X-Trial Racing
A trials bike physics game: lean into the climb, ease off over the crest, and try not to land the run on your rider's head.
A Flash motocross trials game about balance rather than speed. Each course is a short obstacle run of ramps, barrels, girders and steep climbs, and your inputs are throttle, brake, and leaning the bike forward or back. Put the rider's head into the ground and the attempt is over.
Times are what you're chasing, but finishing at all is the real hurdle: most courses hold one section that throws you repeatedly until you learn exactly how much lean it takes. Later levels stack loose objects that shift under the wheels, so a line that worked once won't necessarily work the second time.
Controls
Up to accelerate, Down to brake, Left and Right to lean the bike.
Tips
- Lean back going up and forward coming down; the bike pitches further than you expect at speed.
- Ease off the throttle before a crest so you don't launch flat and land nose-first.
- On loose obstacles go slow and deliberate, since momentum tips barrels and planks out from under you.
