node1988 is ALT-1988 eBike Racer, a bright retro side-scrolling delivery game for quick, replayable rides on iPhone and iPad. Boost through city, coast, country, and dirt trail routes. Collect coins, battery cells, repair kits, and route nodes while dodging potholes, cones, dogs, delivery vans, mud, wind gates, and rocks. The first ride teaches through play. Route cards show the next mechanic, hazards use icons and labels, and the finish gate glows when it is time to boost home. Left thumb brakes and leans. Right thumb jumps and boosts. Every run is built around a clean one-more-ride loop: deliver the cargo, score the route, bank rewards, then ride again or move to the next route. City and Coast starter routes are free. Optional Apple-billed purchases can unlock premium routes, bike styles, cosmetics, and replay variety. node1988 does not sell consumable energy, loot boxes, paid score boosts, forced continues, or unfair shortcuts. node1988 is local-first, has no required account, includes no ads, and does not use cross-app tracking. Progress and purchase entitlement status are stored locally on device, with Restore Purchases available through Apple.
