Les jeux du cycle turns indoor cycling into a multiplayer party game, making the rider’s effort the main control scheme. A Bluetooth FTMS trainer or Bluetooth power meter is required: pedalling supplies the input, while sprinting, steering and chasing bonuses shape each event. That hardware dependency sets this game apart from conventional racing titles that use a keyboard or controller.
Its collection of more than 25 minigames ranges from sprint races and climbs to slalom, missiles, keirin, tug of war and capture the flag. The changing event rules and mix of individual challenges, team contests and workouts give the game a broader party format than a single continuous race. Players can compete solo or with others, and customisable bots can provide practice opponents or fill out a group. A circuit editor, replays, and text and voice chat add ways to shape and revisit sessions.
Its short events, optional bots and party-night framing indicate the kind of activity the player figure relates to, while the required cycling equipment defines how people take part.
