🏍️ Light Riders
← All gamesPlay Light Riders online for free — an arcade duel of two light cycles on a dark 60×40 board. Your cyan rider and the computer's orange rider move non-stop, leaving permanent glowing walls behind them. Whoever hits a wall, any trail or the edge of the board loses the round. A match is played to 5 round wins, and both riders speed up as the round goes on. The computer has three difficulty levels: from a relaxed opponent to a rival that measures the open space and tries to cut you off. Steer with the arrow keys, WASD, a swipe gesture or the on-screen buttons on your phone. Your best results are saved in your browser.
How to play
- You control the cyan rider: use the arrow keys, W/A/S/D, a swipe gesture or the directional buttons under the board on a touch screen. You cannot make a 180-degree turn.
- Both riders move constantly and leave permanent light walls behind them. Whoever hits any wall — the opponent's trail, their own trail or the edge of the board — loses the round.
- Box the computer into an ever smaller space and force it to crash, but watch your own escape route — the walls stay until the end of the round.
- A match is played to 5 round wins. Every round starts with a 3-2-1 countdown, the trails clear between rounds, and both riders speed up as a round goes on.
- Pick a difficulty: Easy (the computer mostly rides straight), Medium (it avoids walls and sometimes cuts you off) or Hard (it measures the open space and plays aggressively — but can be beaten). Each level has its own leaderboard.
- The leaderboard counts how few rounds you conceded in a won match. Press P or Esc to pause; your best results are saved in your browser.
