Honda wanted a fun game to promote their latest motorbike line-up. After brainstorming with them on a conference call, we decided to create a motocross game inspired by the NES classic Excite Bike. The premise of the game is to have the bikes race around the tracks collecting Honda points while jumping over dirt mounds under a time limit. Assets from the client were very limited, so I did my best with sourcing stock images and textures to create the arena while editing their bike images for the game. Afterwards, I worked on the animation and collaborated with a developer in Mexico to program the game.
This is the leaderboard that spawns the overlay game.
Once the overlay expands, the user will see an intro screen with instructions on the gameplay controls.
This screen lets you choose the bike you want to ride where you have three different options.
Here’s a sample gameplay screen with the motorbike and arena environment. The user can speed up and slow down while they control the motorbike rider.
The game has three different outcomes, depending on how many Honda points you’ve collected.
