Wheelie Bike is one of those deceptively simple games that grabs your attention right away. All you have to do is ride your bike on one wheel for as long as possible. It sounds easy, but once you’re actually trying to balance while rolling over bumps and slopes, you’ll quickly realize how tricky (and addictive) it really is. The fun comes from those little moments of almost crashing, then saving your balance just in time.
The game was developed by FG Studio and released on September 4, 2019. Since then, it has gained a solid fan base for its straightforward gameplay and has even inspired a sequel, Wheelie Bike 2.
The mechanics are easy to pick up, but it takes practice to master the rhythm of balancing. The ride ends the moment your front wheel touches the ground—or if you flip over backwards.
Wheelie Bike nails that “just one more try” feeling. The controls are simple, but every slope, dip, or bump in the road makes you tense up as you try not to wipe out. It’s a great mix of frustration and satisfaction—you fail quickly, but that makes setting a new distance record feel even better. Plus, it’s an easy game to share with friends, so you can see who can balance the longest.
