Canvas Rider

Canvas Rider is a fun free to play online game that can not only be time consuming, but a way to express your inner creativity by creating your own levels. Imagine combining art with a video game. There is a wide selection of levels you can choose from, as well as a variety of categories going from developers, to top rated levels, even to top rated developers. After you find the level you want to play, you can then dive right into the game itself it start having fun.

The controls are simple. All you have to use is your directional pad. Up to go forward, down to go backward, left and right to pop a wheelie. The game itself plays like sonic the hedgehog without the golden rings. Sometimes the game has you speeding through the levels with no time to think twice or sometimes it will have you go through patiently. Although both are pretty good approaches to a fun game, it still helps to listen to some kind of music while playing this game, because it makes everything go by quicker and in a much more awesome fashion...

Some of the levels can be a bit bland. By bland I mean it is something a 1^st grader could do in MS-paint. Usually in these kinds of levels there isn’t much to do other than whatever the developer said “Would be cool”. However when you do find that one masterpiece in the collection of levels, you get a combination of both creative art and level design. There was this level solely dedicated to The Legend of Zelda and it played out very quickly and even gave you a bunch of obstacles get past. Once you find those kinds of levels the game gets a bit more interesting down the road.

There isn’t a lot I can complain about with this game other than one thing. That one thing is checkpoints. You would think that checkpoints would be a bit more helpful in some kind of way right? You know a big level means a checkpoint can help you keep going on if you die halfway through a puzzle. Well in my case, if you’re going to fast or if you popped a wheelie, then the checkpoint will be your worst nightmare. Why? It starts you off not just at the check point but at your last known speed and position. So if you were going 20 mph and you popped a wheelie, you’re better off restarting the level. Sometimes it’s the direct opposite. You may need to go faster and pop a wheelie but through your past experience you most likely would of slow down. It’s a trick to keep you thinking on your toes. I hate it, yet I love it.

Overall the game is fun to play and can be fast at times. So if you want to check the game out, click the link below.
