Introduction to Happy Rider

You ride a two-wheel vehicle—think Segway or similar—through wild obstacle courses full of spikes, traps, and big jumps. You steer the rider with the arrow keys. Press up to move, down to slow or stop, and use left and right to tilt or keep your balance. If a trap pops up, you might need to jump or slow down just right to avoid getting hurt.

You push your way through five levels that get tricky fast. Every stage sends you over tough spots like narrow ramps or spinning hazards that you need to dodge carefully. The steering is simple, but it needs good timing and balance. The challenge keeps ramping up as you learn how to control the ride just right.

The game doesn’t have a story or script. Your only goal is to make it to the finish line alive. If you crash, you start over. Some versions even let fans create their own levels to ride through, adding more replay fun.
