New page: Playing at 1:46 UTC by Abula
After five (!!) years working the
Playing page is finally ready! Ok, it's not anything very special but still quite a nice packet of levels and replays. Playing page is an attempt to list all different kind of tricks and bike controlling types. It was a very ambitious project but I think we have succeed quite well. Multi-playing, IRL playing, Belma playing have own tactics and they are missing but maybe in one day...
First we called it as Moposchool and mainly me and
BarTek were developing it. Also Rigger and ciph were around with their ideas. Later when Paprika was released I wanted to have a page for playing like there are for designing levels, cheating etc. Moposchool was a good start and we started to convert it to the new format.
zebra entered the project when BarTek was becoming inactive. Also
Luther and
axxu have helped us quite much. The levels were tested by my mother (totally amateur), my ex-roommate (ok player, Carju) and
MP who is a world class professional so all the skill levels were presented. Thanks to all people who were making this happen.
Briefly the idea of the consept is to go through the different levels and to beat
Target times to be sure you handle the trick or controlling type. You can use the replays and the texts as help.
Dream times are there for more challenging playing. We don't host any competition yet. First you might want to beat the all
Easy level and then
Medium etc.
If you think something is missing don't hesitate to drop a line. Maybe even make a level or replay for us? Also the
Skill levels can be argued. Is some level easy eventhough we marked it as hard? The general information texts are still missing and we appreciate help in that.

Yea. Also we tried to make levels for those mango names like o-bounce so people would know what it means in practice.

No offence zebra, but I think moposite should host the records. I think it's better to collect all same stuff in one site. But if there is some better reason to why they shouldn't, don't hesitate to tell me :P

We don't have any nice contest managing system running yet. When we have, the lists can be moved to Moposite.

i duno what u think but maby it would be nice to have a couple of levs in the end where u have to combine the newly learned/demonstrated tricks. the levs should be really obvious, having brutals into hang into stretch etc
