Hold a wheelie on a rain-soaked city road, steer past traffic and swerve around bumps at the last second. Build a combo and chase a longer ride in this free 3D bicycle game.
CLOSE CALL is a 3D bicycle ride about timing rather than top speed. Lift the front wheel, keep the bike balanced and wait until the last possible moment before swerving around traffic. A wet road, rough patches and moving obstacles turn each clean pass into another beat of the combo.
The local copy is self-hosted from the original English game. Its original interface already supports English, so no translation layer is needed; the source URL remains linked for attribution while the ride assets and game code run from Floating Arcade.
How to play CLOSE CALL
- Press Start when the models finish loading.
- Drag left or right to steer and balance the bicycle. Drag up or down to control the wheelie height.
- On desktop, use the left, right, up and down arrow keys instead of dragging.
- Swerve around traffic at the last second to score near misses and build your combo. Rough road sections can be dodged or used as a risky landing.
- Open the world leaderboard after a run to review the distance and near-miss result. The local ride remains playable if the ranking service is unavailable.
Controls: Drag left or right to steer and balance; drag up or down to control the wheelie. On desktop, use the arrow keys. Swerve around traffic and rough-road bumps at the last second.

Why it's worth your time
The game makes a wheelie serve two purposes: it is the central balance challenge and the visual rhythm that gives each obstacle approach a clear moment of commitment.
The traffic course is staged like a short downhill scene after rain, with reflective asphalt, roadside trees, walls and several 3D vehicle assets. The environment is part of the pressure because the road surface changes the timing of landings.
The original page is already in English and explicitly presents both mobile drag controls and desktop arrow-key controls. This mirror keeps that same input model and localises the static asset paths for offline play.
How it was made and where it lives
Published through ChatGPT Sites (chatgpt.site) — the same hosting pipeline GPT-6 Astra uses to ship playable games straight from a prompt. Original: https://close-call-ride.ischca.chatgpt.site/. The Play button runs the self-hosted local copy. The original page is kept linked for attribution; leaderboard requests are not required for the local ride.
ChatGPT Sites is the hosting side of the workflow OpenAI describes for building games with GPT-6 Astra: the model writes the game, then publishes it to a public address in one step. That is why so many of the newest single-file browser games are appearing on chatgpt.site domains.
