Gameplay

Pumped BMX + is a platformed style, side scrolling, BMX stunt game, where the player plays with a side on view and has to complete the course; the quicker the time, the more points awarded onto the score. Players can gain additional score points for performing tricks in the air, or grinding. These scores can be compared with friends and online with a leaderboard. Players have to ride their way through levels which continuously increase in difficulty while performing insane and impressive trick combinations. Players have to complete three challenge levels (easy, normal, hard) for every level, each containing four tasks to complete before moving onto the next difficulty. The game allows the players to select their own rider by customising what they look like and what bike to use, and perform the best stunts they can whilst riding through over 500 challenges to reach the top of the world leaderboards.
