Didn't have an issue on Linux with that antivius using Wine. But well, I only collected half a mile. Then my fingers cramped. ^^'

Nice idea though! I definitely enjoyed the graphics while trying to survive there.

0.692 miles until my hands cramped :sweat_smile: Fun little game!

cagibi 2025-10-06 16:23

One full mile (I used both hands). I also had no issue on Linux/Wine. The pixel art is pretty nice and has some detail like the blood on the front wheel.

Would benefit from some kind of progress in the landscape/car/another kind of change (or I was just not determined enough to see it!)

i figured out how to play this game without cramping fingers. I played with my feet

Simple but cool game! Made it to 1.2 miles.

I enjoyed losing my fingers to this. Beautiful art

torte478 2025-10-07 19:04

That was real challenge! (And tragic ending)

It's simple but super intense! You matched the "collector" theme in such a unexpected way. The visuals are looks nice. Well done!

phobos001 2025-10-09 18:57

I got over a mile before my soul was collected lol. Great application of the theme, it took me a minute to realize what was going on.

Super cool game!! My fingers started to cramp up. Haha!

qingjing-zheng 2025-10-10 09:23

I really like the art and game design! Good works!!!!!!

Dang I must be getting old, I barely made it to 0.7 miles before I got got. The introduction is such a simple nice touch that conveys what's going on. Don't spot many submissions using Go and I know your pain about AV false positives, Nim also has that problem and it's a pain to chase up AV vendors to get things unflagged.

Nice stuff!

.499 Miles. I am a drummer so found solace in maintaining the rhythm.. BUT... was frustrated that when I sped up my inputs, it didn't speed me up. It was all about maintaining :D

The graphics are astounding.

spacecadet 2025-10-10 16:07

Cool take on the theme. I liked a lot the visual presentation but there could a bit more variation to the gameplay maybe. The intro was nice too.

Nice little game, my girlfriend managed to do 848 miles but lost usage of her fingers for the day.

But hey, it was worth it !

alec-cunningham 2025-10-12 01:01

Ow, my forearms. Had to use both hands, managed to get 1.295 miles on my second attempt. Liked watching the guy get sucked up underneath the car. Cool idea!

jose-bonilla 2025-10-12 23:24

NIce use of theme, although very simple game. My piano fingers are now well-trained for some long [trill](

wetburritosupreme 2025-10-13 03:13

Dang this one was a toughie! I like the collecting of miles, I tried to get a mile but my little fingers couldn't quite do it.

very tiring for the hands xD

At the start, I almost thought the game froze, but then the stars slowly faded in, and it panned over the city vista, and the view was really quite lovely. The pixel art here is gorgeous.

I didn't ride very far (button mashing is pretty hard on the wrists), but I made it just under 0.4 miles.

snesgaard 2025-10-17 19:16

Why doesn't he just bike to the side?

ausstein 2025-10-20 16:58

@snesgaard this is clearly a 1D World. The second dimension is an illusion xD

myst 2025-10-22 06:36

Short, yet fun! It feels like a mini game that you would have to play during a much longer game. I also love the pixel art in this one

martingonn 2025-10-24 15:41

I especially love the intro, but running the game on Linux, I cannot move (I understand the game was made for Windows). Gave you 4 stars for visuals

Finally I managed to post my highscore up here! Very nice little entry with a pleasing color scheme as well! Here's my cramp-inducing playthrough of City Bike again, thanks for submitting and being there in the chat!
