Circuit Rider Overview
Circuit Rider was one of those games you'd find tucked away on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It didn't have a big studio name attached, just a simple, clean look that promised a quick test of reflexes. You loaded it up expecting a straightforward time waster, and it delivered exactly that.
You control a rider on a hovering bike, constantly accelerating down a neon-lit tunnel. The goal is to survive for as long as possible. Your main task is to steer left and right to collect the glowing orbs that line the path; these orbs are your fuel and your currency. Running out means the bike stops and the run ends. The collected orbs can be spent between attempts to unlock new bikes, which sometimes handle a bit differently. The walls are unforgiving, and the speed builds relentlessly, making each session a tense fight against momentum. It feels like balancing on a wire while the world rushes past you.
