Neon Rider
Neon Rider
It's been a very long time since the original Tron came out and even a fair amount of time since Tron Legacy, but here we are at Neon Rider. You seem to have gotten into a virtual world through some unexplained means and you need to be able to get around fast. At least you've got your hands on a light bike to speed through this world, but where are you going? It's unclear, but you're competing in a world designed to test your skills on the light bike. Despite its name, it's got some weight to it and is affected by physics, so don't think the digital world is that different.
About Neon Rider
The thought of riding a glowing bike through a computer world is an exciting one but it comes with its own set of dangers. You'll be riding the bike and realize that it's much harder to control than it looks. It has a lot of power that can send it off the ground and in the air it will cut through sharply as you try to maintain balance. Even on a computer, there are rules that you have to follow, including those of speed and gravity. You may have more lives here than in reality, but that doesn't mean that you should be careless with them.
How to Play
Neon Rider is a 2D riding game about riding a light bike across various tracks to reach the end with the use of the mouse. To accelerate, click and hold the Left Mouse Button, and let go to slow down. When in the air, holding the button will cause the biker to spin forward until you let go. The goal is to reach the end of each track and collect as much digital treasure as you can. The biker and bike will instantly break upon any accident and this will take you to another level.
Aside from trying to get to the end, there are multiple glowing crystals laid across the track. You can collect them by driving into them and they'll improve your overall score. Tracks are randomized and can take on various forms. They can include things like tall hills, sharp bumps, loops, and gaps. There are even hazards such as spikes placed in certain areas that need to be avoided. If the biker lands improperly or touches something dangerous like spikes, they and the bike will be instantly destroyed.
Tips and Tricks
You may be eager to hit top speed as soon as you get on the bike, but it's not that simple. The bike can build speed incredibly fast and that can turn into a wheelie that puts you flat on your back. It's better to use light taps to navigate the tracks and only to speed up when getting over large danger zones.
