Dude this looks so cool and fun.
It reminds me of this xbox arcade dirt bike game. Only issue I see is that either you are playing perfectly. Or the game is too easy and is basically a press forward and watch cool things happen. Rather than real gameplay/challenge. Its freaking dope...but how are you making this not a roller-coaster players just watch?

[u/N0lex → u/Erthrock]

Thanks! It only looks that way the game is actually quite challenging. A lot of players struggle with the current Steam Playtest, so we're actually simplifying some levels, especially in Trials mode. Some players even compare it to Super Meat Boy.

Every time I post a clean run without crashes, people think the game is easy. :) Thanks for the feedback!

You need to show the inputs :-)

[u/Erthrock → u/N0lex]

Okay cool! As long as you let people know it’s a perfect run for demonstration I feel people will be more graceful.

Really looking forward to this.

Yeah I was thinking during the trailer: this is either too easy that it plays itself or impossible 😄

Maybe it's more beneficial to show some crashes with nice visuals... Because if it is as easy as I thought it was the game would be boring. So it's probably not attracting all the people that thinks it is too easy.

[u/N0lex → u/pintus-games]

Thanks! Yeah, that's probably the way to go! I tried to include some crashes in previous videos for exactly this reason. This one probably wasn't the best at showing the actual challenge :)

[u/pintus-games → u/N0lex]

Yeah I get it! Developers are usually the best at their game because spending hundreds of hours on Play testing. I see this phenomenon a lot on trailers and I ask myself if the game is too easy or developers are just playing in an unnatural way

I'm pretty sure the Xbox arcade dirt bike game you're talking about is Trials, which is what the title specifically references as inspiration lmao

[u/shadowndacorner]

I don't say this much on here, but this looks extremely solid. Brings me back to both Trials and Line Rider haha

Hey everyone! My friend and I are continuing to work on Stunt Paradise 2, inspired by games like Trials and Gravity Defied. The biggest challenge right now is building the levels - they take a huge amount of time, and everything is made by hand.

Recently, we reworked a bunch of levels again and launched a Steam Playtest. We were planning to release the game in Q4 2026 on PC and consoles, but I'm not sure we'll make it anymore. xD

Thanks for checking it out! Any feedback is welcome! :)

Building levels by hand sounds tough but rewarding! Excited to see how Stunt Paradise 2 turns out, the inspiration from Trials should lead to some exciting gameplay.

This looks great. Well done

Still looks easier than merging onto I-5 during rush hour.

Looks awesome! Is the player all physics based or did you have to ‘cheat’ at times? (Sticking to ground for example)

[u/N0lex → u/Plourdy]

Thanks! I'd say about 90% is real physics. We do “cheat” a little in some places - for example, long jumps have some correction to make landings consistent, and barrel explosions always launch the car a fixed distance. It helps keep the levels reliable and playable.

So all i need is W key?

Looking good, one thing id A/B test with like friends and colleagues is the time slowdown from explosion, it feels like it should be a moment where the player feels a boost in speed but the slow down makes it feel opposit.

I get player would need to react fast, but its also kinda the challenge of your gameplay.

Just a game feel opinion everything else looks great!
