How to play Ink Rider

Swipe to hop and flip down Spray Alley, and land level to build a combo.

Ink Rider is a BMX trick game. Your rider pedals on their own, and every move is a swipe or a tap.

The goal

Score enough to fill the ink can. Finish the ride for one star, fill the can 60 percent for two, and 90 percent for three. You have three helmets a ride, and the ride is over when you lose all of them.

Controls

On the ground, swipe up to hop a barrier and swipe down to duck under a sign. Swipe left for a wheelie or right for a nose manual, and keep it balanced for points.

Hit a kicker to get into the air. There, swipe left to backflip and right to front flip. Swipe up for a tailwhip, tap for a barspin, and swipe down to drop fast.

Ink Rider gameplay: a BMX rider flipping off a ramp above a city, with a score of 22,795 and a POP! callout.
Flip off the kickers.

Tips

  • Mix tricks in one jump to multiply its points.
  • Touch down level for a PERFECT and build a combo.
  • Land badly, or while a trick is still turning, and you bail and lose a helmet.
  • After a crash you can keep riding for 100 coins.
  • The How to Play button on the results page shows every move.

Where to get it

Ink Rider is on Google Play for Android phones, and it plays in landscape. The iPhone version is coming soon. The Ink Rider page shows the course and the comic page you get at the end of a ride. Questions go to the support page, and I read every message.
