Slope Bike

About Slope Bike

Slope Bike is an endless downhill run: your bike accelerates through a series of connected slopes and never stops, and you steer left or right to stay on the track. The speed climbs the longer you last, so the game is really a test of how long your reactions hold up as the margin for error shrinks.

It uses two keys and no menus, which makes it one of the easier games here to pick up for sixty seconds. If you want more of the same, Slope Racing and Slope City are the other two on this shelf.

How to play

Steer with A and D or the left and right arrow keys — the bike accelerates on its own, so there is nothing to press for speed. Stay on the slopes and avoid falling off the edges. On phones and tablets, swipe with your finger to steer.

Controls

• A and D, or Left and Right arrows
• Swipe to steer on mobile
• Single player

Tips to win

• Steer in small taps. Holding a direction at high speed walks you straight off the side.
• Look at the far end of the track, not at your bike — you need the turn before you reach it.
• Speed keeps climbing, so a run always ends. Chase a better distance rather than a clean finish.
