Today I've been playing Bike Rivals from Miniclip, which is currently in soft launch in a few territories.

It's a fast-paced trials-esque game, presented in a simple but effective 2D style, and sporting rock-solid controls that are a mix of tilt and touch.

There's been a fair number of these trials games recently, but Bike Rivals distinguishes itself from the pack by being more arcade-oriented than Urban Trial Freestyle and Trials Frontier.

Here's a quick hands-on showing how I got on with the game.
