On The Fence Here
Thu Dec 29 2022 NunUtherFirstly, I *loved* BB1… one of the best iOS games ever developed (IMO). I’ve been watching Mountain Sheep for several years — looking for a successor, and/or something new. Sadly, though it’s nice to continue the BB legacy, I’m torn with this one. The controller support doesn’t feel native — menu navigation doesn’t respond at times (though it could be performance related?) and you cannot hide the on-screen controller display — and most-of-all I can’t seem to find the level editor. And to be clear, if this feature is absent, I think the team should really consider adding it back in. By no means is this a waste, for the price, but it’s somewhat of a disappointment (for now at least). I’ll eagerly change my review if/when these features find love. Mountain Sheep: This would’ve made a great Apple Arcade title — and MP (~Excite Bike style) would solidify you a triple-a title in their market. Maybe a “Super/Uber Bike Baron” follow-up?! ;)
BB1 vs BB2
Wed Aug 06 2025 Vk⚽️🇵🇱First off, BB1 was the best game I have ever played. The levels were kept simple and short. However, unlike BB2, BB1 actually had a user level editor. In my opinion, that was the best feature in the game and really was something that had me come back to it in 2025. BB2 on the other hand does NOT have the user level editor. Based off the fact that BB2 has newer, better graphics, physics, and tons of new blocks, the user level editor would be a home run for the game. As much as I hate giving the game such a poor rating, the game has true potential but the levels are much harder, too complex, and does not have a level editor. I tried to dive deeper into finding any information if I would need to beat all the levels first and then be able to edit or if Mountain Sheep would ever add it, but the information was very unclear. Yet again, I mean no hate towards the company or game, it’s just sad that the fact that the first version they made of the game is better than the second really says something. The game just feels unfinished and I wish that Mountain Sheep would add the user editor. I doubt that there will be another update to add the user level editor since the game is more focused on competitive play and also the last update was about 4 years ago 😢
Fan of the first
Wed Dec 21 2022 Pimpslapper77This game should be so much better when considering the first one. The graphics are improved but the way they are laid out makes playing these levels visually confusing requiring far less skill and much more luck. Why? Because it’s hard to make out what lies ahead. Many perceived obstacles turn out to be part of the foreground or background. It’s like a pop up book but because of the speed it’s a visual mess. What’s worse is that there is no level creator. That’s what made the first game so special. Take it from someone who created several featured levels as well as two that became part of the game. However, I don’t see how a level creator can help given the way this game is presented. Let’s just hope they make another one that has the fidelity of this game with the layout and level designer of the 1st.
Great to see a new Bike Baron on Apple TV, but it’s laggy and glitchy
Fri Dec 31 2021 CrazySnowMonsterI was pretty quick to buy this, as I was excited to try this on Apple TV. Fun so far on the handful of levels I’ve played except two things:
1. On an Apple TV 4K (first gen), it’s pretty laggy in places.
2. There’s an annoying bug where if I accidentally leave the game (back button too many times), it has no sound when I return to the game. I then have to force quit the game to get the sound to work again.
Resetting my progress?
Thu Aug 12 2021 CottonCarolineMaybe there’s something I haven’t understood about the game’s function, but the game keeps resetting my progress. It’s frustrating to come back to a game that you’ve been playing and enjoying and see that all your progress in the levels is gone. And this has been a repeat issue. These levels are well-designed and enjoyable, but I’d like to be able to maintain the progress I’ve made.
Overall good, but could use some work
Wed Oct 05 2022 Gg forOkay so I enjoy this game a lot, the graphics and controls are much better than the original in my opinion. However, there aren’t a ton of levels, and there’s no character customization whatsoever, nor is there a level editor. It’s very fun! It just doesn’t feel quite finished.
Not like the first game
Tue Feb 06 2024 DeritsukuIt’s ok. Could use some improvements, like an editor and a larger amount of levels. Definitely doesn’t have the charm like the original Bike Baron.
Bad Gameplay
Mon Mar 20 2023 Mike35421316Graphics are too cluttered, play is too fast, controls are too sensitive. Overall, this has lost a lot of the nuanced simplicity that made the first BB great. I’d much rather the devs create new levels for BB1 than spend any more time on this inferior version. Speaking of the devs, where is Mountain Sheep?
