Welcome to the X-Moto manual. Here you can read about how to use X-Motos options and features.


Gameplay and Game Objective

If you come to play X-Moto the first time, you will probably think:
Whoa what a difficult game! Impossible to control and anyway! All the Motocross games I know feel much better than this!

Well, Welcome to X-Moto, which is not a race game, but a challenging and time stealing platform game to test your skills!

When you try for the first time, the bike will feel like a wild horse, nearly impossible to control. But in this presumed weakness lies the real strength of X-Moto. Because you have to deal with a physics engine, you first need to learn how to control your bike.

DON'T KEEP YOUR KEYS PRESSED, BUT LEARN TO GIVE SINGLE IMPULSES TO ADJUST YOUR BIKES BEHAVIOUR!

Single key strokes for forward and backward rotations are a lot better than correcting all the time. So calm down and get smooth!
Once you have mastered to get a level to the end, don't think you have to beat these incredible fast and surely-cheating World Records!
Try to master some of the levels, and with time you get very familiar with the control system of X-Moto. Maybe now you'll realize, that these ghost drivers didn't cheat...

Fun with your friends

As X-Moto supports a well coded, server based highscore system, you can match with your friends, and fight for the best times on the levels you want.
For doing this, you'll need to open a so called room on the websites "Private rooms" tab. You will find an explanation there of how to deal with the account settings, and once it's done, you get your private competition among your friendship! It is based on the principle, that once somebody makes a new highscore on a certain level, he can upload it to the server, and every participating room mate gets it downloaded on his computer, to see this highscore as a ghost on this level, that he must beat now in return. Believe me, it's motivating, because every mistake costs time! And you can do better!
