Super interesting idea.
This is peak! i love the concept!
Really nice concept, I had a scaling issue with mine so could not see the full game. I still managed to enjoy it! Let me know if I can fix this somehow. From what I could see, the art style and game mechanics were unique, good job on the slider mechanic for the cycling.
Mhh every once in a while someone has the same problem as you and honestly I don't know why. The resolution is fixed to 800x800, so it doesnt automaticlly adjust, but it still should be "small" enough to all monitor/display sizes.... I will see what I can do :)
I tried again on a smaller monitor and it's working fine! Not sure what the problem was, but at least I could play seeing the whole game :)
Lovely idea for the concept! I enjoyed this. The art work is great for this too!
This is such a cool idea and a really lovely, cohesive page. Loved the music and art! I saw the title "Knights on a Bike" and immediately got really excited about the seeming clash of ideas. Super fun and would definitely want to see the idea explored more.
I was struggling BIG time with the racing -- I got smoked 4 times in a row and couldn't figure out how to keep my energy up very well. And feel like I was missing something -- or it was just really difficult.
Really enjoyed the creative use of the theme, and the art is very cohesive and fits especially well with the music which I feel like adds a really fun blend of race energy and whimsy.
The art also needs a special callout -- those knights and bikers themselves are super iconic looking and for some reason it makes me think of a game about knights on bikes that plays sort of like mario kart meets super smash brothers where you're jousting/sparring/attacking each other but it's played with these cycling energy mechanics in mind.
Super cool concept, really enjoyed. :)
First of all, thanks for playing and the extended feedback! :)
Yieah, the 'balancing' is a bit off. I think the main thing is to make use of drafting from other players and then eat enough before/during hills.
But I appreciate you like the title. Honestly, I also like it, and my vision for it was exactly what you wrote in the last part of your comment, but due to time/skill I had to settle with "just" a race. ^^
creative concept, added to favorites!
Really cool and fun idea. Loved the artworks style
Great idea and works really well once you get to grips with it, the map at the top is very helpful! I love the artwork and animations.
My only complaint is the text on your game page needs more contrast! No points deducted for this though :D
It’s incredible, what a brilliant idea! Well done!!
Super cool idea, i like it!
Pretty cool racing game! Had a rough time before I learned about the drafting mechanic, but after that I managed to win a race :) Really liked all the sound effects, the wind sound especially adds a lot to the game
Great work!
Pretty interesting. I didn’t have time to read the item’s descriptions as I played, it may be cool to have a list with descriptions, maybe added in the page itself during voting?
What a creative mechanic. That's extremely fun! Inspirational even. Great job!
That was lots of fun, it's funny being a knight on a bike. Liked the art style and eating food for more time!
Really cool theme, but I still don't understand how to balance speed and exhaustion. I just tagged along on 2nd place the whole race and sprinted at the end, it's way easier
I managed to get 1st on my first try! Woohoo! 1:12.8! The artwork is brilliant but I would like some help explaining what the consumables do in-game.
That is actually really good! I know a lot of people struggle to end the race at all! :D
Yeah true, unfortunately the consumables are a bit roughly implemented.
I don't know why I'm a knight on a bike, but it just works.
I had a bit of trouble figuring out how the food and the power interacted, but once I figured that out, I was able to pull into 2nd, and then 1st place after a few runs.
Art is amazing, vibes are great, and it just plain feels nice to play.
Very neat! Kept playing it longer than I thought!
I love this game! It's peak! The artwork is great, the game is so fun and it's so hard to win. Loved it!
Very fun and interesting concept. I hate port for now haha. It took me so long to consume it!
