    You'll have to go to outfit selection and scroll your helmets there then click accept in the lower right. :)

    I love you guys. I seriously, seriously do. I saw this and thought it would some sort of F2P game cashing in on Evel's name and instead I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot. Premium, no IAP for extra stuff-nonsense, small install size (just under 320 MB), great physics and a wonderful tribute.

    Again, thanks for your impressions guys.

    This is such a spot on tribute to the games namesake, I can't help but imagine Evel himself would've approved of it if he were still around. The atmosphere and attention to small details is incredible. I spot new things in the backgrounds each run. The sights, sounds and fun gameplay all come together to create something pretty special, I love finding games like this.

    I uploaded a video, the entire last part where the big jump is done I did on my back lol. I was right there where it should have crashed me but man it was so damn sweet to fly in the air like that hahahahaha

    Evil Knievel all the way!

    Does this have any type of icloud/fb/gc integration to allow me to continue play on second device?

    Ah that's it. I was in the helmets screen which apparently only tells you how to unlock them.

    Well I've just pickedthis up after reading the comments on the thread and I can safely say I'm not disappointed.

    Absolutely brilliant - gotw for me without a doubt and I'd go as far as to say one of the best side on biker games I've played on the iOS.

    I'm blasting through it very quickly tho - I hope there are plans for expansions to come, I'd happily pay an iap for more.

    Can anyone confirm?
    Really want to get this game but hate having to choose only 1 device to play on.. :)

    Edit: Forget it. I'll figure it out myself. Will download when I get home

    Nope, no cloud or fb etc.

    My advice, go for 6plus screen and up, since the game will (and has to) zoom out pretty much, and also to enjoy the incredible well made backgrounds.

    If only a tenth of all Bike Baron players would buy this pearl...GOTW

    ...and my hunger for Daredevil Dave is growing

    I think there is a glitch when leveling up. I was able to max out my strength going from level 2 to level 3. I touched the last star and they all lit up. I also got 2 agility on my first level up.

    Noticed it also, going to start again and see if I can make it 'not' happen.

    A reset game button would be handy.

    Edit: If you just press which upgrade you'd like and nothing else it works fine. If you touch the actual stars, that's when the problem starts and you stop levelling up correctly.

    Edit2: Latest update fixes this.

    Finally got a chance to read through the thread this morning. I'm glad everybody is liking this game. There were so many releases this week, but I kept going back to this one. It's such a good game. At fist I looked at the venues and thought, "This is gonna be a short game", but that was far from the truth. Not only does each venue have 3 different jumps, your gonna wanna go back to each level and get silver and gold. That's when this game can get tough (in a good way).

    Anyway, glad everyone is digging it. This game is a classic IMO. I'll do a proper write up on it this week.

    Update out: tweaks and minor improvements.

    That was fast, here's hoping it fixes the minor issues people were having.

    Seriously you guys have to see this quick run. I'm still cracking up laughing. It is just the physics of how it happened. Lol

    Evil Knievel burns his butt lol

    I played some games in this motorcycle genre, not more than 15 minutes or so, but this game is a genre changer for me, this plays and looks awesome, great menu and building up the tension of getting bigger jumps and new motorcycles every chapter.

    Just loving it, great job Devs.
