Canyon Drifter

A session runs in short, fast bursts, each track a quick test of balance and throttle control. You ride a 2D bike over steep climbs and jumps, leaning forward or back with the arrow keys or on-screen buttons to keep the nose where it needs to be. When a track refuses to clear, the garage lets you retune the bike, and the game runs in your browser on desktop, phone, or tablet without any install.

About this game

2D moto-trial built around tough tracks and dialing in your bike. Pick a build for the dirt and the terrain, clear steep climbs and jumps by leaning for balance, and fight for the best time on the leaderboard. Stuck on a track you just can’t clear? Head to the garage, retune your bike, and suddenly it’s rideable.
