Main features of CycleBoy3D for Windows 8 and 8.1…
The following screenshot displays the main screen of the game when you run it on your device.
The main screen has three toggles – the ‘I’ button allowing you to view the information about the game, the Play button which takes you to the level selection screen and the sound toggle button. There is a cross button as well which is present at the top right corner of the screen which quits the game. Let’s head into the level selection screen by tapping the play button now, shall we?
When you have chosen your desired level by clicking on the corresponding unlocked level number, the gameplay screen follows.
You can execute a jump by either the up arrow button on your keyboard or by tapping the on screen up arrow button. To accelerate faster you may use the right arrow button either on the screen or on your keyboard. The game is a bit difficult to get a grip of, as it constantly presents obstacles on the racecourse over which you have to jump frequently. In fact, you can see me crashed in the screenshot below.
You get a total of three lives before it’s game over. If you run out of all three, the game is over and you lose. 
However, if you are able to make it to the end of the level without dying thrice, you get a star rating along with your score.
