Games Like Moto X3M: Bike Stunt Games to Play Online
Updated
Games like Moto X3M are side-view bike stunt racers: you hold the throttle, lean the rider forward and back to land your jumps, and race the clock through levels full of ramps and traps. Moto X3M is a stunt bike racer by the studio Madpuffers. Below are original bike games by independent studios that ride in much the same way.
The Moto X3M formula
Moto X3M uses four keys. The up arrow accelerates, the down arrow brakes, and the left and right arrows balance the bike. Front or back flips on long jumps take time off your finish, and the stars you get for a level depend only on how fast you finish it. Crash, and you go back to the last checkpoint while the clock keeps running.
So the habits that make you good at it are throttle control, landing on both wheels, choosing when a flip is worth it, and learning each level until you can ride it clean. Here is where the games below ask for the same habits.
| What you do in Moto X3M | Games that ask the same |
|---|---|
| Hold the gas and lean to keep the bike balanced | Crazy Moto, Moto Maniac, Cycle Extreme |
| Flip in the air for a better result | Crazy Moto, Bike Stunt Game |
| Beat the clock for up to three stars | Crazy Moto, Cycle Extreme |
| Ride past obstacles and traps | Crazy Moto, Moto Maniac 2 |
Closest to Moto X3M
- Crazy Moto is the nearest match: 22 levels of loops, explosive barrels, spikes, collapsing platforms and big drops. Up or W accelerates, down or S brakes, and left and right or A and D lean the rider, also in the air for flips. Beat the clock for up to 3 stars, chain flips and wheelies for a higher score, and spend stars on new bikes.
- Moto Maniac is a physics bike game set on port docks. Get through as fast as you can without falling into the water or hitting your head. Up and down drive forward and back, and left and right tilt the bike.
- Moto Maniac 2 keeps the controls and moves to a bridge under construction at night, where a drone lights the way and the abyss waits below.
- Moto Maniac 3 is a trial in the forest over trees and rocks, and a bear annoyed by your engine chases you, so speed matters twice. It uses the same keys as Moto Maniac.
Pedal power and trick runs
These change the vehicle or put tricks first, and most keep the lean controls.
- Cycle Extreme swaps the motorcycle for a mountain bike on steep downhill tracks with deadly holes. Up or W speeds up, down or S brakes, and left and right lean. Finish each of the 20 levels fast enough and you get 3 stars.
- Bike Stunt Game is a 2.5D side-scroller where the bike moves forward on its own and you handle balance and tricks. The up and down arrows lean, Space jumps, and holding down during a jump starts a trick. Pick Time Trial, Trick Challenge or Survival.
- Moto Bike Extreme Hill Stunts gives flips their own keys. The right arrow drives, the left arrow brakes, up is a front flip, down is a back flip and Space is a 360 jump, across mountains, factories and floating platforms.
- Shadow Motorbike Rider puts a silhouette rider on the bike. W accelerates, S reverses, A and D tilt the bike in the air, and Space boosts. Keep the rider's head off the ground until you reach the portal at the end.
Bike games for two on one keyboard
Bike games share a keyboard well, because each rider needs only a few keys.
- Dirt Bike Racing Duel is a race to the finish without crashing. The left player uses W and S for gas and brake and A and D for balance; the right player does the same on the arrow keys.
- Wheelie Bike For 2 Players is a balance contest: hold a wheelie as long as you can within 60 seconds. Player one uses W, player two the up arrow, and the longer total wheelie time wins.
Both are in 2 player games, along with many more games two people can share, and 2 player games on one keyboard has tips for splitting the keys.
How to ride better in bike stunt games
- Land on the wheels, never the head. Moto Maniac and Shadow Motorbike Rider both tell you to keep the rider's head off the ground.
- Flip only when the jump is long enough to finish the rotation. A flip you cannot finish turns into a crash.
- Use the brake before drops. Coming in too fast makes it easy to overshoot a landing or a narrow ledge.
- Ride a level clean first, then chase the time. Stars in Crazy Moto and Cycle Extreme depend on how fast you finish.
Games like Moto X3M FAQ
How do you do flips in bike stunt games?
In most of them you lean in the air. In Crazy Moto the left and right keys rotate the rider while the bike is airborne. Moto Bike Extreme Hill Stunts is different: the up arrow is a front flip and the down arrow is a back flip.
Do these games have checkpoints?
Their descriptions do not mention checkpoints, so see how each one handles a crash on its first level. If checkpoints are what you like about Moto X3M, Car Obby 3D has them on its floating obstacle courses and brings you back to one after a fall, with a car instead of a bike; more courses like it are in obby games.
Are these games free?
Yes. They play free in the browser, and the site asks for neither money nor personal data.
More games on two wheels and four are in bike games, car games and racing games.
