Highway Rider

An endless highway riding game seen from directly behind the bike. The road is drawn in real perspective: it curves left and right, rolls over hills and drops away in front of you, with mountains sliding past the horizon and the light turning from midday to sunset to full night as the kilometres add up. Traffic runs in three lanes ahead of you — sedans, hatchbacks, an SUV, a box truck and a coach bus — all slower than you, all in your way. The whole game lives in one decision: how close do you dare pass? Shaving past a vehicle without touching it counts as a near miss, and every near miss pushes a multiplier that climbs to five times your points. Let four seconds go by without one and it drains away; clip a bumper and the run is over on the spot. There is no throttle to hold: the bike winds itself up the longer you stay clean, from about 100 km/h to over 300 across the first minute, so the gaps close faster the further you get. Holding a finger anywhere on the screen brakes. Pull down, or tap the right of the screen, and it brakes. Run wide onto the grass and you slow to a crawl; the barrier only scrapes and scrubs your speed. There are no levels and no spare lives: the road simply keeps going until you touch a vehicle. The bike leans through five stages as you steer, the engine note climbs with the revs, and the wind, the tyres and the crashes are all generated in the browser with no external files. You steer by leaning the phone itself — tilt it left and the bike drops into a left-hander, analogue all the way, with the angle you are already holding taken as neutral when the run starts. Nothing is drawn over the road. Where the sensor is missing or the permission is declined it falls back to steering by dragging a finger, and a keyboard works throughout (arrows or WASD, space to brake). Local top-ten leaderboard and a saved best score.
