    Hey guys. We need your help!

    We are going to select a small group of people to test out a beta version of the app. Currently its easiest to do betas on android , so that's what we are going to do.

    Within the next couple of weeks I will give those who qualify a link to test the app.

    Those who want in please post what device you have.










    Currently the mobile version will do the following.
    - Load random tracks , sourced online using an algorithm to filter for mobile friendly tracks.

    (This algorithm will include completion times, completion rate, track size etc)
    - Buy Inventory, Win Inventory (through minigame slot machine)
    - Clicking on freeriderhd.com track link on browser will open the app and load the track.
    - Leaderboards though google play & iOS Game Centre
    - Achievements though google play & iOS Game Centre

    Future updates

    - Searching for tracks
    - User account login
    - Loading ghosts

    This app is still using web technologies it is not native code , performance may vary. It's the only way we can get the game to play like the game you love.

    Iv refactored the main free rider core code to use partial WebGL, and performance has improved a lot.

    Constantly learning, constantly improving.


    Here is an OLD video of some of the progress we have. (Don't pay attention to the stats / numbers etc, a lot of it is fake data).

    Totally in! I got a Samsung s5. I think I actually use mobile more over computer anyways... I enjoy playing on both but have more access to mobile over pc or laptop. Oh and uhh Char how is Eric doing?

    I also think if this gets big enough it will give the community a lot more to offer in terms of in app purchases and such. Also when I'm playing on mobile and people notice that I'm playing they ask me "You can get that on your phone?" or "How did you get that on your phone? I can only play that on my computer." I think if you do decide to add it to the Play Store or AppStore and it gets out there I think it will give us the opportunity to charge up the game both on mobile and laptop/pc.
