### 4/5 — Fun Game

*2021-07-28, version 1.0.10*

Can use more levels. Sky cycle please. 😜

### 4/5 — Get rid of crash graphic

*2019-03-02, version 1.0.10*

I like it except for not being able to fully see crashes because of the crash graphic that appears during every crash

### 4/5 — They should add option for blood

*2018-12-12, version 1.0.10*

I wish I didn’t have to get a bike every last level.  And broken bones.

### 3/5 — Entertaining for a short while

*2018-10-09, version 1.0.10*

And then it gets old pretty quickly, like in about two days.

### 3/5 — Bad

*2017-06-20, version 1.0.10*

It's really bad. If you dink the ground from being a meter in midair you crash.
I didn't know eviel Knievel was so weak!

### 5/5 — Gr8 game

*2017-06-18, version 1.0.10*

It's super fun and easy to get new bikes!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2017-03-06, version 1.0.10*

Simple and fun.

### 3/5 — Fun

*2017-01-11, version 1.0.10*

Good game, you don't HAVE to pay real money if you earn the coins by doing the levels over on different difficulties. I do not always appreciate the controls. I hate how the buttons constantly change on the direction they lean the bike. Just leave left as back and right as forward. Or atleast give me the option to turn off the "smart" control.

### 5/5 — Really Fun Game

*2016-12-24, version 1.0.10*

get this game because its free and its really fun

### 5/5 — Fun and free if patient

*2016-10-11, version 1.0.10*

Played all the way through and enjoyed it.  Tip, don't go for gold trophy until it is one of the goals.  Try different paths on later levels.

### 4/5 — Cool game

*2016-10-05, version 1.0.10*

This game is fun but one problem its a pain to beat levels because at the end of every level the last jump the camara or your rider and bike slow down for a picture but the time stay in fly mode meaning the time stays the same which seems fast anyways but everything slows down but the time so pretty much its amazing when you do beat levels because the amount of times you replay the levels

### 4/5 — Controls are inverted. (Super hard)

*2016-09-20, version 1.0.8*

I've been playing this game for a couple of days and still haven't gotten used the the controls. Need an option to uninvert them.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I can’t play it

*2022-07-04, version 1.0.10*

It crashes on startup

### 1/5 — Fun

*2019-04-03, version 1.0.10*

But to get gold on everything you need to spend money to buy the last motorcycle

### 1/5 — Needs a major update!!

*2018-12-22, version 1.0.10*

After progressing through multiple levels, you have to keep going back to previous levels and achieve a gold medal. This results in earning more money. The thing is, this takes hours of work. I think the users would put more actual time in and have more fun should there be more levels and further progression. Thanks!

### 1/5 — First Three Levels are Fun

*2018-01-13, version 1.0.10*

After that the difficulty is way too high. Most people looking for games like this are looking for a time killer or a break not some aggravating game like this.

### 1/5 — ABYSMAL Controls

*2015-12-05, version 1.0.3*

They’re backwards from EVERY other bike/car physics type game I’ve ever played, for no good apparent reason. 

Every other game, right control leans forward and left leans backward. For some reason, the developers thought right control ”lifting“ your front wheel (and left lifting rear) was a good idea. What this means is that right leans backward, left leans forward, and if you play ANY other games like this, it will break your brain. It’s especially bad in the later levels, when precision and quick adjustments are necessary.

Come on, devs. At least give us the *option* to switch it.

### 2/5 — Lame

*2016-10-22, version 1.0.10*

Its a pay to play game. Its rigged to persuade you to buy coins.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2016-10-01, version 1.0.8*

It's fun enough, but the controls are inconsistent, especially with the throttle. When you go back to earlier levels with faster bikes in order to gain trophies, it's difficult to gauge the speed you need to be going to properly hit the last jump and finish the level. 

The amount of money you need to unlock new bikes at higher levels is too high, especially when you need a new one every three levels. It gets tedious replaying levels to build up the cash. 

Finally, some of the goals are near impossible to clear. I've been stuck trying to get 5 seconds of air time in a single jump for a long time now.

### 2/5 — Failed execution

*2016-09-19, version 1.0.8*

It's a fun concept. And if you only play the first three levels like these review companies have then yeah it's fun. But when the game picks up the levels are not fun and they are too hard. Some have to be done over 30 times to complete. I really want to like this game but the game play is inconsistent (sometime the buttons don't do what they are supposed to) and the physics are off (it doesn't behave predictably and sometimes you will hit the button once he will flip over and sometimes you will hold it down and he won't do anything). Great idea failed execution.

### 2/5 — Cool game, way too slow/not enough levels

*2016-09-19, version 1.0.8*

This game has some cool levels, but after you get to a certain point, the only way to progress is to go back and play the previous levels, only with less time. Times are only recorded each level, so even if you go fast enough to get a gold trophy, if you haven't unlocked the silver first, you have to run the course again. Bottom line, there's not enough levels.

### 3/5 — Fun for a while...

*2018-11-06, version 1.0.10*

It was fun up to the point they started launching soccer balls at my head.  Someone please take away the fans and soccer balls from these devs.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2021-01-01, version 1.0.10*

So fun to play for hours

### 5/5 — Fun Game

*2020-10-10, version 1.0.10*

But I still can’t figure out how to “send Evel flying 100 feet after a single crash” and get credit for it. I launched Evel way over 100 feet by dropping him into a helicopter rotor.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-08-04, version 1.0.10*

I love Evel Kneavel the best daredevil ever a great game but I wish the strealrol cycle sorry if I spelled wrong but it should cost 5 bucks it’s just a virtrul bike also I wish you could play older bikes on all levels I know the older ones are slower but maybe also on the first level of Las Vegas you can go under that little platform and get out of bounds. Overall it’s a great game

### 5/5 — Fun game. Great art.

*2020-07-19, version 1.0.10*

Love the art style. Super job on execution.

Favorite game I’ve ever downloaded by far.
