About Cyclomaniacs
Cyclomaniacs is a cult favorite from the Flash era that still makes for a fast, slightly chaotic bike race. You start as a robot rider and work through a series of locations, trying to beat the field and become the overall champion. Winning races opens up new characters and features.
Stunts drive everything. Flips in the air charge your boost meter, and spending that boost on the right stretch is how you pass the riders ahead. Lean too far, though, and you crash into the dirt. Optional goals, like finishing in the top five or in under a minute, give each course more reasons to replay.
How to play Cyclomaniacs
- Up or W - pedal harder
- Down or S - brake
- Left/Right or A/D - lean and balance
- Space - jump
Playing Cyclomaniacs on a computer
Clicking Play now and then PLAY gets you to the race, though a short ad may come between them. Up or W pedals harder, down or S brakes, and the rider leans with A and D or the matching arrow keys. Space makes you jump. Flips charge your boost, so launch off ramps and rotate in the air whenever there is room to land safely. Winning races unlocks new characters.
Playing Cyclomaniacs on a phone or tablet
Cyclomaniacs needs pedaling, leaning and jumping at the same moment to land flips, and every action sits on a keyboard key. It is listed as not mobile-ready, with no touch controls. Race on a computer or Chromebook to get the stunts right. When you only have a phone, the "Desktop and mobile" tag shows which games are touch-friendly.
On a phone right now? Try Basket Random, Coreball and Bottle Jump 3D - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Only flip when you have enough air to land on both wheels.
- Spend boost on flat ground, where it carries you past the most riders.
- Check each race's side goals so you know what to aim for.
