The gameplay is generally easy to grasp and offers a detailed experience, reminiscent of Trials Fusion but with more forgiving controls. However, some players find it can become repetitive due to unfair mechanics and challenging levels, while others appreciate the variety of vehicles and user-generated content. Technical issues, such as graphical glitches and frustrating game mechanics, have also been noted as detractors from the overall experience.
- “The gameplay is easy but surprisingly detailed, both unintentionally and inherently because of its genre.”
- “For me, being a player of the 'Gravity Defied' mobile game for ages, this game is as close as you can get to that, except the gameplay is much smoother and now features not just bikes but also ATVs and hoverboards, plus so many player-made levels with countless track designs available instead of only the flat surfaces back in Gravity Defied.”
- “I bought this game because it was pretty cheap and I like these kinds of games, but this one just got old quickly because of the unfair mechanics that sometimes get in your way and the relatively hard levels.”
- “I have encountered two graphical glitches so far in my 3 minutes or so of gameplay, one where the menu doesn't fit into the screen, and the other where everything just goes black bar a little white shadow sort of effect around the stick man.”
- “Trials Fusion keeps coming to mind when trying to explain the gameplay, but the nuances of how this game controls are much more rigid and a little more forgiving than Trials.”
