Bike Baron 2 9+

Overall good, but could use some work

Okay so I enjoy this game a lot, the graphics and controls are much better than the original in my opinion. However, there aren’t a ton of levels, and there’s no character customization whatsoever, nor is there a level editor. It’s very fun! It just doesn’t feel quite finished.

On The Fence Here

Firstly, I *loved* BB1… one of the best iOS games ever developed (IMO). I’ve been watching Mountain Sheep for several years — looking for a successor, and/or something new. Sadly, though it’s nice to continue the BB legacy, I’m torn with this one. The controller support doesn’t feel native — menu navigation doesn’t respond at times (though it could be performance related?) and you cannot hide the on-screen controller display — and most-of-all I can’t seem to find the level editor. And to be clear, if this feature is absent, I think the team should really consider adding it back in. By no means is this a waste, for the price, but it’s somewhat of a disappointment (for now at least). I’ll eagerly change my review if/when these features find love. Mountain Sheep: This would’ve made a great Apple Arcade title — and MP (~Excite Bike style) would solidify you a triple-a title in their market. Maybe a “Super/Uber Bike Baron” follow-up?! ;)

Developer Response ,

We'd love to add a level editor, never say never...

Fan of the first

This game should be so much better when considering the first one. The graphics are improved but the way they are laid out makes playing these levels visually confusing requiring far less skill and much more luck. Why? Because it’s hard to make out what lies ahead. Many perceived obstacles turn out to be part of the foreground or background. It’s like a pop up book but because of the speed it’s a visual mess. What’s worse is that there is no level creator. That’s what made the first game so special. Take it from someone who created several featured levels as well as two that became part of the game. However, I don’t see how a level creator can help given the way this game is presented. Let’s just hope they make another one that has the fidelity of this game with the layout and level designer of the 1st.
