Moto X3M Bike Race — Play Free Online

Moto X3M Bike Race is a stunt-driving game where you steer a dirt bike through short, trap-filled obstacle courses and try to reach the finish line as fast as you can. Each level is a self-contained course of ramps, drops, spinning blades, explosive barrels and gaps. A run usually lasts under a minute, and it is quick to try again after a crash.

It will suit players who like Doodle Jump for its "one more try" rhythm. The pace is different, though. Doodle Jump keeps you moving upward with small left-and-right corrections. Here you work out one course at a time, learn where the hazards sit, and slowly cut seconds off your time.

The game is from MadPuffers, the studio behind the Moto X3M series. It runs in the browser with nothing to install.

How to play

Use the arrow keys or WASD. Up (or W) accelerates and down (or S) brakes and reverses. Left and right (A and D) tilt the bike backward and forward in the air and on slopes. On a phone, you use on-screen touch controls instead.

The aim is to get to the end of each course, and the clock is running the whole time. A hard landing on your head or a hit on a hazard ends the run immediately. You restart from the beginning of the course, so each attempt teaches you something about the layout. Your results are rated by finishing time, which gives you a reason to replay levels you have already beaten.

Tips

• Control the bike in the air. Landing on both wheels, matched to the angle of the slope, keeps your speed. Landing nose-first usually ends the run.
• Do not hold the throttle all the time. Some jumps need a lighter touch, and tapping the brake in mid-air can help you land more steadily.
• Take a few slow attempts first. On a new course, use the early tries to learn where the traps are. Once you know the layout, you can go for speed.
• Fix one section at a time. If one jump keeps beating you, keep your attention on it. Smooth landings add up to a faster time overall.

If you want another game built on precise movement and short attempts, try Ovo 2 or OvO game. They are platformers where you run and jump rather than drive. Helix Jump is a quick one-finger game about timing. Fireboy and Watergirl is the calmer pick, with puzzle rooms that are better shared between two players.

Moto X3M Bike Race fits short breaks best, since you can finish a level or two in a few minutes. A keyboard is the more comfortable way to play, but the touch controls work on a phone or tablet.
