Bike Path

Dodge cones. Collect energy. Survive the road.

A fast-paced arcade game where you ride a bike down an endless road, swerving around orange cones and grabbing powerups to rack up the highest score possible.

Rider's Manual

The basics

You're a cyclist on an endless road. Cones rain down from the top — dodge them. Powerups give you bonuses. Your score goes up as long as you survive. Hit a cone and it's game over.

The goal

Stay alive as long as possible while collecting energy powerups to maximize your score. Each energy pickup adds points. Shield powerups make you temporarily invincible. Brake powerups slow the road down when things get too fast.

Your final score is your score when you crash. It's saved to the global leaderboard — beat your personal best and the all-time Top Riders.

How to steer

Move left and right across the road to dodge cones. Several control methods work — use whichever feels best for your device.

Arrow keys

Left and right arrow keys. The classic desktop control.

A D
WASD

A moves left, D moves right. Preferred by most PC gamers.

Swipe
Touch swipe

Swipe left or right anywhere on screen. Works on mobile and tablet.

Drag
Touch drag

Touch and drag the bike directly across the lane. Precise on touchscreen.

Speed increases over time. The road gets faster the longer you survive — what's easy at the start becomes a sprint by the end.

What to grab (and avoid)

Five different items appear on the road. Some are helpful, some are lethal, and one is just annoying. Learn the difference fast.

Energy — Points+

The main scoring item. Grab every one you can. Each pickup adds to your score and is the primary way to build a high total.

🛡
Shield — Invincible

Makes you temporarily invincible. You can ride through cones without crashing for a few seconds. Rare and very valuable — grab it immediately.

🔵
Brake — Slow down

Temporarily slows the road speed back down. A lifesaver when the game gets dangerously fast. Collect it when the pace is overwhelming.

🕳
Void — Death

Instant game over if you touch it. Appears as a dark circular void in the road. Treat it exactly like a cone — swerve hard to avoid.

🔶
Cone — Penalty

The main hazard. Hit one and the run is over. They rain down constantly and get denser the longer you survive.

Priority order: Always dodge Voids and Cones first. Grab Energy whenever safe. Shield is always worth a small detour. Brake when you're overwhelmed by speed.

How scoring works

Building your score

Your score increases mainly by collecting Energy pickups — each one adds a fixed number of points. Survival time alone does not directly increase your score; Energy collection is the key.

The longer you survive, the faster the road gets, meaning more cones appear — and more Energy items too. High scores come from a combination of staying alive long enough to encounter more Energy and collecting it efficiently.

Game Over screen

After a crash you see the WASTED screen with your Final Score. If you're not signed in, you'll be prompted to enter a name (up to 10 characters) before submitting to the leaderboard. If you're signed in, your account's first name is used automatically.

Top Riders

The start screen shows the global TOP RIDERS leaderboard — the highest scores ever recorded across all players.

Guest vs. signed-in scores

Guest scores — enter any name at game over (up to 10 characters, uppercased). The name you enter is saved with that score on the leaderboard.

Signed-in scores — your first name from your account is used automatically. No manual entry needed.

Both guest and logged-in scores appear on the same global leaderboard — everyone competes together.

Scores are submitted offline too. If you have no signal when you crash, your score is queued locally and submitted the next time you reconnect.

Why sign in

Signing in is completely optional — you can play and submit scores as a guest. But signing in has one perk: your name is filled in automatically at game over, saving you the name entry step every run.

How to sign in

Tap [ LOGIN ] on the start screen to open the sign-in panel. Sign in with Google (one tap) or your email with an 8-digit code. You only need to do this once — your session stays active.

Sign-up is open — any email works, no invite required.

Tips for a high score

💡 Stay in the middle lane early

The road has roughly three lanes. Staying near the center gives you the most room to dodge left or right when a cone appears. Riding along one edge gives you nowhere to go.

💡 Shield runs change everything

When you grab a Shield, charge straight through any cone clusters instead of dodging — it's faster to collect Energy that way. The invincibility window is short; use it aggressively.

💡 Brake early, not late

Grab a Brake as soon as you see one if the speed is already uncomfortable — don't wait until you're about to crash. At high speed you may not have time to swerve to it anyway.

💡 Install on your phone

Bike Path is a PWA — install it on your home screen for instant access. On iPhone: Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android: browser menu → Add to Home Screen. Touch controls work great in full-screen standalone mode.
