This version includes performance improvements and bug fixes.
Bike Baron 2 is a masterpiece of the 'Trials' genre on mobile. It takes everything that made the first game a cult hit and cranks it up with a vastly superior physics engine and stunning graphics. The game is all about the balance between momentum and gravity. Maneuvering the Baron through loop-de-loops, explosives, and precarious jumps feels incredibly precise thanks to the refined touch controls.
The level design is where the game truly shines. Each track is a handcrafted gauntlet that rewards experimentation and punishes recklessness with hilarious ragdoll crashes. The inclusion of a robust level editor and a daily tournament system gives the game nearly infinite replayability. It’s a polished, high-adrenaline experience that captures the joy of a perfect run—and the frustration of a spectacular failure—perfectly.
Stunning 3D graphics and detailed environments
Advanced physics-based trials gameplay
Daily tournaments with global leaderboards
Deep level editor and community tracks
Always keep your bike slightly tilted forward during large jumps. This allows your front wheel to absorb the initial impact, preventing the Baron from falling off the back of the bike when you hit the ground at high speeds.
Nitro is best used immediately after landing a clean jump or on a flat straightaway. Using it mid-air can often cause you to over-rotate, leading to a catastrophic crash on the next obstacle.
Yes, you can compete against other players' ghosts in real-time tournaments to climb the global rankings.
Firstly, 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?! ;)
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 😢
This 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.
I 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.
Maybe 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.
Okay 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.
It’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.
Graphics 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?
