Pumped BMX Pro is a stunt-based 2D bike game that draws some inspiration from the Tony Hawk series of sold, with a few elements of Excitebike, Trials, and Hot Wheels thrown in. The purpose of the game is to complete stunt challenges across sixty levels that each contain their own unique racetrack. In order to progress in Pumped BMX Pro, players must complete individual challenges that require specific stunts or certain scores, which will also unlock new bikes and riders.

You might struggle to get past the first few stages due to a couple of frustrating tutorials that interrupt at the worst possible time while attempting to follow the directions, and worse, other tutorials will tell you to perform a specific move without providing a visual demonstration of what that move actually looks like. A short video of the move being completed would have been extremely helpful to those who aren’t familiar with BMX stunt terms. The loading time on the game is instantaneous and players can restart a stage at any time with the press of a button, which means that you can repeatedly try a difficult stage without issue and alleviates the frustration of trying to complete a difficult stage as you can just dive back into the game. It's the frustrating difficulty curve that holds Pumped BMX Pro back, as it would have benefited from gently easing the player into its mechanics, instead of letting them fall into the same few pitfalls each time.
