Serpentine 3D

Two kilometres of mountain trail down the slope: ten hairpins, nearly four hundred metres of descent and a drop exactly where the shoulder ends. The trail is narrow and rutted, pine forest all around.

About this game

The descent is not made of turns alone. Streams are crossed on a metre-wide plank bridge, ravines on a single log with a flattened top. Rock gardens bleed away grip, roots knock the wheel out of the rut, kickers send you into the air, and a gap between boulders has to be taken dead straight. The bike behaves like a bike. Steering lock is limited by what the tyres hold: the faster you go, the wider the arc, and a hairpin needs far more braking than it looks like from the straight. The handbrake breaks the rear loose and tightens the line without costing speed, but let go and you wash out. Drifting earns points while you are still sliding, and the multiplier grows every second you hold it. Release the handbrake and the total is banked; crash and it burns.

How to play
