About
Every run starts on PEAK's summit with the whole mountain open and the fog off. Your scout gets a real Descenders mountain bike. Ride it down through the Kiln, Caldera, Alpine/Mesa and Tropics to the beach where you crashed.
From your own Descenders, read each time you play (nothing is shipped):
The downhill bike: frame, wheels, fork and drivetrain rig, with its paint job. The rider's body, jersey, pants, helmet, goggles, gloves and shoes.
Descenders' animations: the rider pedals, coasts, steers, leans, crouches, bunny hops and pulls a superman seat-grab. The bike's pedals, steering and suspension move with Descenders' own clips.
Descenders' physics: a port of its suspension, steering, grip, skids, lean, bunny hop and air control, using the tuning values from your Descenders files.
Descenders' bails: a hard landing, or your body or head hitting the ground, throws the rider into Descenders' own ragdoll.
From PEAK:
The mountain and its biomes.
Its campfires are checkpoints: the HUD points to the next one and then to the beach.
Your scout rides in the rider's place. Hard bails injure it a little, and PEAK's heat, cold and hunger still apply.
Press F to step off and climb as your scout, and F again next to the bike to ride on.
Controls:
W pedal, S brake, A/D steer, Space hop

A gamepad works too.
