Crazy Motorcycle: your first five minutes

Closer to a platform game than a race. You ride a blocky motorbike along a narrow path of grass and planks hanging in open sky, and the job is to reach the end without falling off.

What you actually control

Input	What it does
`W` or `Up`	Ride forward. Let go and the bike stops
`A` / `D` or `Left` / `Right`	Steer
`S` or `Down`	Back off
`Space`	Jump, as listed by the game
R button, top right	Restart the level from the very beginning

Minute by minute

Minute 1. Hold forward and get used to how narrow the path is. The wooden bridges are barely wider than the bike, and the fences at the start are the only railings.

Minute 2. Find the thin bar under the level name. It fills as you ride and tells you how much course is left.

Minute 3. Finish level 1. The screen says “Completed! Get +10” and pays ten coins.

Minutes 4 and 5. Level 2 has red flags on poles along the way. Other portals describe them as checkpoints. Look far ahead: the floating islands are visible long before you reach them.

The mistake that ends first runs

Treating a raised edge as a slope. In level 2 we held forward against a ledge for more than a minute. The back wheel smoked and the bar did not move. A step taller than the wheel needs a jump, not more throttle.

Good to know

The leaderboard after each level is decoration. We loaded the game four times and the names changed every time, with the same ranks and scores.
The Shop button is only there before you start riding.
It looks like Minecraft. It is an independent game and has no connection to it.

Skip it if

You wanted a race against other bikes. For speed on four wheels, see Traffic Racer 3D.

That is the short version. The long one, with every screen we saw and the questions people ask about it, is in our longer Crazy Motorcycle notes.
