CycloManiacs 2 Instructions

The control and game play of this motorcycle game - Cyclomaniacs 2, is very straightforward: use the W key (or its alternative up arrow key) to move forward and S button (down arrow key) to stop. The left and right arrow keys (A and D buttons) are for leaning forward or backward. There are a couple of things you got to keep in mind: (1) first, your bike hates you and (2) you need to avoid touching the terrain with any part of your driver's body. Do the latter and that will send you straight to the previous checkpoint flag. Oh! By the way, you need to boost and speed past the other racers if you want to have any shot of finishing in the first 3 spots. A good way to ensure to keep that top speed constantly is to do stunts. Read on and see how to pull that off.

CycloManiacs 2 Walkthrough

I know it sounds a little counter-intuitive - performing stunts to gain speed... BUT that's how this little bike game works. There are a couple of stunts in Cyclomaniacs 2 and you need to know them like the back of your hand. Let's take a closer look at them:

Front Wheelie - This is done by perching your bike on the front wheel.

Back Wheelie - To pull this one off, you have to perch your bike on the back wheel.

Back Spin - As the name suggests, this is done by spinning backwards while in the air.

Front Spin - This is the total opposite of the above: spin frontwards in the air.

Invert - This is the hardest of all stunts. With this, you need to spend some time upside down while in the air.

Tick Tacks - Last but not the least. Tick Tacks is done by moving left to right while in the air, BUT not spinning.

Invert Explained: Ok, for those of you who are having a hard time picturing what inverting is, this is when you hold yourself upside down while in the air, and return to the normal position just before you land. It's not really a spin. It's more like holding yourself in the upside down position for as long as you can.

Tick Tacks Explained: The description above for tick tacks is a little vague. Tick tacks - this is when you sweep your bike left a bit, and then lean to the right. It's like you are about to spin BUT not. It's more of like a rollercoaster. Picture a bike leaning to the left in mid air, then just when it's about to spin, the bike leans all the way to the right, then back again to the left... rinse and repeat. Chain them rather fast and you are sure to have A LOT of stunt power.

So why do stunts matter A LOT in this motorcycle game?

You see, the more stunts you pull off, the HIGHER your stunt meter goes. The HIGHER stunt meter you have farmed the more boosts you will earn. And... you guessed, the MORE boosts you have, the faster you go. Trust me, on some of the later levels in Cyclomaniacs 2, this is VERY crucial... so crucial it's hard to overemphasize its importance.

That's about it for the basics of the game. Now before we move on to the tips and tricks, let me remind you that there are upgrades in the game. They help greatly, BUT unlike other bike games, they don't guarantee you an instant win. You need to have them, BUT you won't wipe out the field with these upgrades. You will find a couple of maps that you have to skip, save some cash to buy those upgrades, and only then return to those maps.

With that out of the way, let's take a closer look at some tips and tricks:

(1) Make sure you spam up at the start to up your boost.

(2) Use the right bike for the map.

(3) Don't be afraid to farm easy maps where you make more money.

(4) It's a game of skill, so learn how to do flips and land and do the various tricks for boost. Boost is super important.

(5) Worship your boost, because boost is what keeps you alive and in the front.
