How it plays
- Your cycle never stops. Hold the left half to curve left, the right half to curve right; the tightest you can turn is a circle, there are no sharp corners.
- Every trail is a wall, yours included. Now and then the trails go dark for a second and nothing is drawn: that is your gap to slip through. Last rider alive wins the round.
Rules
- How it runs. Your cycle never stops. Hold the left half to curve left, the right half to curve right. The tightest turn is a circle; let go to go straight.
- Scoring. Every trail is a wall, yours too, and so is the edge. Every few seconds the trails go dark for a second and nothing is drawn: that is the gap to slip through.
- Winning. Five rounds, no clock. A round runs until one rider is left, and everybody speeds up as it goes. Each round pays by how long you lasted: 10 points to the last rider alive, down the ladder for the rest. Most points after five rounds wins.
