Bike Rivals is a new motorcycle racing game for the iOS and Android platforms. It can best be described as the spiritual revolutionary sequel to the addictive Bike Race, with single player and multiplayer modes that will challenge you, drive you insane, and keep you coming back for more nearly endlessly. Read on for some tips and tricks for Bike Rivals!
This game, unlike Bike Race, has an energy meter (or a “gas gauge”) in the single player mode. When you run out of energy, then your day is done until your energy comes back a few minutes later (well, a few minutes per energy lost at least). If you want to get your energy back right away for free, then go to the date and time setting on your phone and set the time ahead by an hour or two.
After you do this, then go back to the game and all of your energy will be back. If you have filled your energy all the way, then you can now set the time back to normal on your phone and all will be the same as it was when you go back to the game (all of the gas will still be there). If you’re not quite full then you’ll keep all of your gas, but the time that you cheated off of the phone will be added to the energy cool-down time.
You can get a huge variety of bikes in this game, and all of them can be had for free in some way or another. It can get expensive trying to buy all of them (hell, the KTM 1290 Superduke R costs 30 dollars all by itself) but even that one can be had for free. Of course, the super bikes will tend to make multiplayer mode a little bit unfair.
Do tricks as often as possible to get the best possible times, as these will refill your nitro boost gauge. Front flips and back flips, as well as wheelies, are your most common tricks, and with the flips, the further you tilt your phone, the more flips you can do faster, meaning the more extra nitro you can add to your boost gauge.
Some stages are about survival, meaning that all that you have to do is not get knocked out, which is tough to do on low overhangs and frequent jumps. Make frequent use of the brakes, and if you die, then instead of restarting at the checkpoint, restart at the beginning to ensure that you get as many stars as possible.
