Favorite game on my phone (not pay to win)
I got this game years ago on the family iPad before I had a phone and I spent a lot of my free time playing. Now that I have a phone it was the first game that I downloaded and I still love it. I love the vehicle system and how you get them. I mostly play the free play mode, but sometimes I like doing the levels and redoing some trying to get more stars. However, there is some things that just take away from my entertainment. For example, sometimes the challenges are just insanely difficult and I have to wait days and sometimes weeks to skip them using gems. The one I’m waiting to skip right now is get 84-86 points five times in a row. Like bruh I’m not skilled. Also, after you get all of the bikes it’s kind of boring but it takes a long time to do that. Another thing that I like that I forgot to mention is the progress bar which shows you how much you’ve beat the game rn I think I’m at 64% and I’m not stopping until I get to 100%. Also, when you click it it shows you how many flips you’ve done, perfect flips, games played, etc. My current high score is 106 (not to flex but that’s pretty impressive my guy). I just have like 3 more bikes to unlock. Overall, this game is amazing and I love it and I definitely recommend it. Thank you for reading this long review and have a good day. 😁
Simple fun with more depth than most!
This game is super simple being that you just press to move forward and flip backwards. No flipping forward, stopping, or going in reverse, which sounds almost to simple but makes for a nice challenge while staying convenient for phones! Usually I'm not to fond of Ketchapp games because they are too simple and once you've played a few minutes you've gotten all the fun there is to be had but with Rider you have your core game which is fun, addictive and has challenges and unlockables to keep you going but what makes it for me is they go one step further by adding challenge stages which are very hard to complete giving a great sense of reward! The one and only downside is that there are many ads but these can be stripped with a price. Company's have to make their money somehow so I'm perfectly fine having a great free game and only paying with my time watching ads. Lastly there are a very few minor glitches but nothing bad enough to stop me from giving this simple, fun app a perfect five star review! Thank you for reading-James Powers
The track flaw and perfect flip flaw
There are many flaws in this game but one sticks out to me. Okay, so this has happened on multiple occasions: I’m driving on a smooth track and this also happens with sticking a landing on a flip. But there is an unbalance in the track. There are these little bumps where the track is uneven. This causing my car to flip. PLEASE FIX THIS! There is another flaw, and it’s about the perfect flips. I’m in the air doing flips, let’s say I’m doing three. The perfect flip is when I land on both wheels perfectly. So, I was doing my three flips and land PERFECTLY no toe, or in this case, any wheel was unbalanced. Then I did an experiment. Sometimes I did flips, but landed on one wheel. There’s NO WAY I could get a perfect flip, well what do ya know? It gave me a perfect flip! Then this happened for one round and then it was back to normal for 3 rounds. Then, it wasn’t counting my perfect flips again. Then 2 rounds later, the dang thing got sensitive again. So, makers of this app, please fix this so know one else has to type their frustrations out in paragraph form.
Awesome game! New features?
Ketchapp, by far Rider is one of your best games. All of your other games are fun, but Rider has the potential to make the top charts! This is 10x better than Bike Race! To all of you reading this review, I wouldn't even hesitate about getting this game. This game is both a puzzle and very addictive. I don't feel like I'm wasting time playing this AT ALL! I have a few update ideas for Ketchapp: 1. Maybe different bikes could have different abilities. This could be speed, rotation speed, weight, boosts, and lives (I'm sure there's more). 2. The levels and gameplay are so fun and challenging, but yet created out of simple glowing objects. Adding an option for players to create their own levels would be cool. Also, it would be fun if the community could try other player's levels. 3. Finally if there could be a multiplayer addition in Rider it would really help make it shine. In conclusion, Rider is a great game. It deserves both more attention from players and more content. I hope my review was appreciated. Sincerely, Neptune13
Fun game but a major issue with the track
I deleted this app due to glitches about two years ago and I remember the things happening in the other review but it looks like the developers fixed almost all of these problems, besides one and it’s when you are going across a flat track there is a pixel difference in the height between the randomized sections with the obstacles and it will make you pop up and because you are holding the accelerator you start to flip yourself over and eventually you get kill by an incline or just finally tipping over, another problem I have is sometimes when you land you get a huge speed increase and you go up a ramp and you can’t really control your landing spot but that’s not the games fault, also again with the speed increase you might get the obstacle were the saw goes down to your level and you have to go into a ditch area to go under and the speed gives you no reaction time what so ever, again not the games fault but it’s still annoying to me
PLEASE FIX BUGS, but great game.
This is a really fun game. It is addicting, exciting at times, annoying at others( to whoever made the levels of only circles... screw you). I have a personal best of 121 with rider. There are a few bugs I wish were fixed and would make me give it 5 stars though... (in order of most to least important) 1. Ad in middle of screen after a video. Ok, I don’t know if it’s just me but what, whenever I watch a video there is an 85% chance of the ad at the bottom of the screen teleporting to the middle. Directly where the road is. It’s so annoying. 2. Getting stuck, so you’re on a level or on the normal course and you have to drive over some circles. You screw up and get in between the circles. Well now you’re screwed. You can’t escape, won’t die, won’t even move. You’re just stuck. 3. Blackout, occasionally after watching a video or being destroyed my screen just goes black and I have to restart my game. Just slightly annoying that’s all. Other than this I love this game. My favorite game by this company ever. Please keep it updated and going. Maybe turn down or fix lag but I know that’s not very easy to do. Thank you, WOULD RECCOMEND.
Good game but needs a couple fixes.
This game is actually really good which is why I was surprised coming from ketchapp. Yes it is quite repetitive but it’s almost like one of those arcade games so it stays fun and you just try and beat your high score. The ads aren’t really an issue in my opinion, I think the amount of ads is reasonable. There are a couple bugs that definitely need to be fixed though. 1 sometimes I will be driving the car up a wall or something and it will just fall off for no reason at all even though I was holding my thumb down the entire time. This next one isn’t really a bug but there is an obstacle when you get to 70 or so points and it is just insanely difficult to get by so if I get lucky it doesn’t show up but I don’t usually get past the obstacle (it’s the one with the spinning red shape that gives you a tiny window to get by). So that’s all I can think of right now in all this game is really really good and if they just fixed stuff like this it would probably be one of the best mobile games.
Great mechanics, unpredictable physics.
This game has a great feel, and it’s extremely easy to pick up and play. So I’m definitely recommending it. I’m rating it a 4 star, but in truth it’s more like a 3.5, simply because of the occasional bizarre vehicle behavior. I readily admit that most of the times I explode, it’s my fault, yet a small but measurable percentage of the time, you’ll be hitting an obstacle, or even a straight stretch with no problems, and your car/bike will suddenly buck for no reason, or the front end will fly up extremely without cause when both wheels are on the ground, or you’ll launch at a full run and go airborne with half the power you should have. Also, the fall away bridges often bind you up when at full speed for no apparent reason. I’m okay with pitfalls, but they should work consistently within the game I think. This is a really fun, stylish game, and when it’s working it’s very satisfying to play. It just has some physics bugs in need of work. Definitely download it and give it a try, just be expecting the occasional Oddball behavior.
Good game, lots of issues
I love this game. It's really fun and addicting and a really good time waster but there are major issues that annoy me a lot. The ads are sometimes too much. I know that they need ads but not ones that pop up in the middle of my game and end with me dying. What also annoys me a lot is that many of the challenges include having to collect a certain amount of gems so many times and that would be a fine challenge if during the game you could see how many you have already collected. The only way to know for certain is to count how much your total gem count goes up by or to count in your head and that takes away from the game drastically. I've ended up most of the time just waiting for me to skip the challenge which also takes forever to come up on some challenges. Also there are so many glitches in the actual game play that it's not fun anymore. Most of the time I die because somehow my bike exploded in mid air or my bike flipped when it was supposed to be driving or the track didn't load fast enough. These thugs are the reason why this game gets three stars. Otherwise it would be a five star game.
Consistency is key.
I've played this game for a while now. I completed the first set of levels before the last patch and I was a fourth of the way through the challenges. Now they added new levels. My main grief right now is level 22, a medium difficulty. I've attempted it well over 100 times. I had an easier time doing the max difficulty levels. All because they don't seem to know where they want the hitbox for the bike to be. I will explode for no legitimate reason. The level focuses on navigating a plane of circles with gaps between them. However to actually clear the gap you have to pray that your tires will let go of the surface and actually let you fly. If this game had a consistent and accurate control system, I'd be on top right now. Can I just have a brake button or something if you're not going to fix your hit detection and wheel physics? Anyways, this game is entertaining for fans of games like Trials on console. It has somethings to offer but does come with more frustration as you play more. On a final note, the challenges where you have to collect a SPECIFIC number of gems can screw off. At least give us a way to know how many we've gotten.
Entertaining, but Frustrating Glitches
The game is entertaining, but after unlocking about half of the bikes I’m on the verge of putting it down for good because of numerous glitches. I would like to stick with it to unlock everything, because the tracks are interesting and the challenges are fun. However, faulty hit boxes and physics makes the game very unpredictable and frustrating. (1) sometimes you are rolling along on a flat piece of track and the car will randomly get kicked up into the air, making you lose control. (2) sometimes when you remove your finger to stop flipping the car almost immediately stops flipping. Other times, it continues flipping at high speed. (3) sometimes I will land on the wheels and immediately explode. (4) sometimes when hitting a boost ramp even with both wheels initially on the ground the car will boost in an unpredictable direction either causing the car to not make the jump or to teleport back in front of the boost. (5) There is an issue with the timer in the timed levels. I know this because on two occasions I have passed the finish line AFTER the ‘ghost’ car that shows your previous best play, and it said that I had gotten a new record. This is the most frustrating of all because it seems like in order to get three stars on some of the levels you have to hope the timer is working properly.
Addicting and fun until an ad pops up
I click things like continue if you watch the video and then I watch the video and then it won’t let me exit out they need to fix these bugs. I admit it is really fun game and I am addicted to it they need to fix these bugs like the exiting out of the ad sometimes the bugs just make it not fun and like with some of the other bugs like I don’t know maybe the car goes up in the air for no reason the car starts flipping in the air when you’re not even touching it and I know some people agree with me because I’ve read other reviews so makers of this game if you’re reading this please fix the things I am talking about and actually read the reviews because if you’re asking for reviews that means you wanna fix things and you want to know what’s going on because it now doesn’t feel like it because you’ve done nothing or at least you might be working on something and I don’t know that but also the ad app when you first go into the app or just annoying it’s not a bug or anything but they’re just annoying also I have a question sometimes I go onto the app and it brings me to this red screen where both of the app but not the app but the app developers are a man sometimes it does storm exit out of the app and I don’t do anything please fix this
Simple, fun at first, then broken
This game was amazing the first time i played it. I played it everyday and was unlocking cars left and right. After the initial burst of fun I began to realize how broken the game actually is. Of course, Ketchapp made this game many years ago and even in its comeback they decided not to update it. The levels are well made and eventually frustrating but not for broken reasons. The endless is a big issue. This is what a majority of players will be playing. The variety of cars is good for those with different interests. But some cars do not work well with the track at all. Parts of the car will stick out more than others and will catch on things you wont even see. If you pay close attention, the ground is very poorly flattened in some areas. On top of a snall plateau the ground is comprised of about 5 smaller pieces that were freely and poorly placed to make a flat surface. At times, i will land on the wheels and the car will explode. You will be driving on a long flat surface and suddenly the car will be launched upwards and usually sideways, ending your run. The idea is fun and i have spent many hours playing but they have been burdened by the large quantity of glitches and poor endless level construction.
Perpetuating play time versus boosting ad traffic
The game-play is interesting, but the game structure doesn’t make it easy to advance through tougher sections. To be clear, I’m not asking for easier controls, but make it a simpler process to pick up from where I just crashed so I don’t have to start from the beginning. Sometimes a “free” option is available with a long ad, but often that video is longer than the moments between tasks that’s available to my mental decompression. Subsequently I seem to play the first 20 seconds of each route again and again... Let me infinitely use jewels to revive my spot for as many that I have left. If I need more, I’ll either play more, or buy more. That’s how you spur frequency and compel relevant micro-purchases. Now, if you make the revival options just about money then you’ll alienate those who paid for the app. Like me. If I’ve already purchased the app thus removing ads, then I should never have to see an ad again to enjoy the game. You’re changing the terms of our original purchase agreement, and that’s hard to take as a consumer. Fun game though, if it accommodated a longer engagement than 20 seconds though. Thank you!
