Phone app - Lane splitter

Lane Splitter game 

Lane splitter was my favourite action racing game app I ever had. Lane Splitter depends on your quick reflexes as it requires you to dodge cars and manage the traffic jam. This game can be highly addictive.

Lane Splitter has a simple mechanics. All you have to do is to press the screen to make the bike go faster. Player can collect coins and near miss (almost got hit but dodged) provides you points. Player plays as the Main Character known as Jake Melton. He is racing through the traffic as he is late for his wedding.

Jack drives a sports bike, thus player has to drive around in the bike. It’s an endless game where you have to go on and on till one point of time you will crash your bike and lose. However, if manage to speed for a certain period of time, the bike itself will increase in speed.

This game is very easy to learn but it can be very hard to master it. There are challenges on the road. There are careless drivers and you have to avoid blind spots. Sometimes while you are on a left lane, suddenly a car decides to go on your lane too and starts switching to your lane.

It’s either you speed up (a vehicle in front of you) then switch lane, or slow down (upcoming vehicle). This kind of surprising challenges appears and you have to think fast before you crash. If you do not crash, you earn points. If you go pass vehicles also gives you points.

Coins are useful to unlock pickups and characters. There are pickups in this game that could be used in the game. There are also few other characters with different storylines. Players can unlock them by collecting coins.

I personally feel that this game is addictive due to the score system and the simplicity of the mechanics. The game is very easy to understand and it does not require commitment to the game. Player can play the game and abandon it for a while without worrying about the game progress.

Besides that, the score system plays a huge part as the players are trying to beat their own high score.  I used to compete with my friends by comparing score system. The higher the score, the more pro you are at lane splitter.

There are tons of endless games are out there in the market now. I feel that endless games are good because it caters to players who prefer not be committed to play the game in order to progress. They just want to play it to fill up their time.

I personally feel lane splitter is not that bad of a game after all. It’s simple, easy and challenging to play. It’s fun enough to be downloaded and it has sufficient level of challenges to keep you going on to play it. It just depends whether it suits your gaming style. I would definitely recommend this game to others.
