Philly rapper Meek Mill has become the latest star to join the celebrity mobile game app trend with Bike Life.
A freemium-style game that allows for the purchase of additional power-ups, Mill’s Bike Life revolves around dodging cops and collecting coins while racing dirt bikes and ATVs through Philadelphia-inspired streets.
Developed jointly by Mills’ DreamChasers and IM3 Gaming, Bike Life features characters like Monster Energy rider Chino, DreamChasers rapper Omelly, and two different versions of Meek Mill. Unfortunately, though, you only start off with Chino and Omelly, so folks looking to tear up the streets as Mill may have to play for a while before they get to do so.
The game itself can be addictive, thanks primarily to its “endless riding” format, which continuously throws randomly placed obstacles your way.
Players are able to nab power-ups like 24-karat gold headphones, Puma sneakers, and ATVs for various effects. Some attract gold coins, some increase your speed, and some freeze time for a short period. But all are required to actually advance in the game, whether it’s in Bike Life’s “Mission” or “Challenge” mode.
According to published reports, IM3 plans to add in other characters and landscapes in future updates, tentatively on a two-month recurring schedule. So while it’s a Philly-based game for now, Bike Life ultimately will branch out to include “more cities that represent the riding culture and areas that Mill has visited.”
