the shockingly bad follow-up to [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dohi64/recommended/392070]pumped bmx +[/url]. more of the same with no improvements is one thing but they [b]♥♥♥♥♥♥ the controls up even more[/b]. still only the unity launcher for resolutions, windowed mode and an overall graphics quality setting, [b]still no rebindable controls[/b], and get this, [b]arrows only partially work for menu navigation[/b]. within the seriously lacking settings only page up/down works to switch between controls (just a list), sound (2 sliders), unlocks (whatever they are) and credits. arrows adjust volume and function in the main menu, so what the ♥♥♥♥? at least they forgot to remove mouse support.
bike and rider customization got separated for extra menu navigation and it says 'replay tutorials' from the start, even though I never touched them and only the first is unlocked initially. they are part of the level packs now for added confusion, that's why it says replay, I guess, which is still not accurate on first startup. and that's why the other tutorial stages remain locked until later.
speaking of, [b]the tutorial is a buggy mess[/b]. in the first one I botched the landing after a 360 but it still continued to the next phase, and after giving up on the second thing in tutorial #2 and skipping it, it got marked as all 4 challenges complete. another genius idea was to bind [b]'esc' to confirm stuff in the tutorial instead of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ enter, like in the rest of the game, and 'p' to pause instead of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ esc[/b]. 'x' is restart, the least problematic one.
60 levels in 6 packs this time. a certain amount of challenges unlocks the next pack, every level is immediately playable. the next unlock goal is only shown once, in the form of 'hey, you have new levels, next pack after 40 more challenges', so unless you noted how many you had, it's impossible to tell when the next will unlock. with my patience very much in the negative now, I didn't even unlock the 3rd pack while I completed every level in the first game 8 years ago, but I edited the save to check out the scenery. turns out, [b]simply completing a level isn't a goal/challenge, starting in pack 3[/b], another ♥♥♥♥ move. there are also [b]multiple lanes sometimes, kindly hidden behind scenery[/b], on top of rain coming down in one of the environments. and it might've been the same in the first one but [b]you can't always see where you're gonna land[/b], which would be crucial in a game like this. won't nail everything, or possibly anything, on the first try, but come on. cracking up fun to negative 11.
graphics are a bit better, there's some wildlife in the background, but [b]music is incredibly repetitive and gameplay didn't change one bit[/b]. hold space for momentum, let go to jump, do tricks with wasd, arrows and shift, ♥♥♥♥ up timing or landing, try again. and while during normal play enter is confirm, [b]esc still doesn't pause, ever[/b], and tricks can't be viewed from the pause menu, have to press a different key for a different window. ridiculous.
all they did was ruin the controls further, make more levels and bump the price from 10 to 15 eur for an inferior product. a disgrace. if you're hankering for bmx stunts, there are better options, including bmx+ if it's 90% off, but that would still give money to these hacks, so look for something else and definitely [b]skip this pile of lazy mobile trash[/b].
