About Action SuperCross

Action SuperCross is an action title incorporating puzzle elements, where the player maneuvers a trial bike through maze-like environments. The primary objective involves gathering all apples in a stage before reaching a white flower to exit, while avoiding collisions with walls, floors, and particularly spikes.

Control relies on a semi-realistic physics system accounting for gravity, momentum, and inertia. The bike is directed using acceleration, braking, and leaning, with a key allowing it to flip front-to-back. The game offers 47 levels, with a system permitting the skipping of up to five, suggesting a challenging progression.

Additional features include the ability to save replays and a comprehensive level editor for creating custom stages. Display options support both standard 320x200 and higher 640x480 VESA resolutions.
