There's some strange behaviour when you front wheel turns back on itself.
I can see if if the handle bars flip around but I don't think they can on a bike like that..

The first track is harder than the second one. I finally managed to stumble my way through the first one, the second one was a breeze.

with patented YOU CAN'T WIN(tm) technology!

I can't read your crazy moon language, are those hints?

...I just broke my bike in half. I didn't even think that was possible.

Have a look at Elastomania. Very similiar (it even looks equally awful), but much better and with more levels and stuff.

It got easier about my third try.

toby\flat2 elastomania seemed insanely difficult to control and have only two levels, both of which didn't seem to do anything.

Good God, toby, that Elastomania game certainly does suck.

mhjb, the Elastomania demo has 18 levels, the java game has 2 levels...

this game reminded me of the recent FPP with the "push the dummy down the stairs game"; equal amounts of wrenching on my part

btw, I just got a score of 0 on both tracks :-)

The easiest thing is not to fight it if you bike flips - infact push it in that direction, so you do a 360 and land upright...its also more fun :p

I love shit games... I've had elastomania on my machine for about 2 years now... very silly and not exactly high tech, but good for a brainless moment. ;)

I like elastomania for its easily editable graphics. somehow "kevspace cheese-rider motocross wow" is far more fun than "elastomania"

1 dab and 3 (intentional) flips is my record. Hoo boy, this one is a timesink of the first degree.
