Bibi & Tina - Ready, Set, Ride! is a simulation adventure sports game for PC that centers on horse riding competitions and farm life. Players join Bibi, Tina and Alex as they prepare for the Summer Cup at Falkenstein Castle, balancing training sessions with horse care routines and a storyline that emphasizes teamwork against a rival competitor.
Gameplay
The core loop combines riding challenges with preparation tasks. Players select one of three characters and work with a roster of unlockable horses that includes Sabrina, Amadeus, Maharaja and seven others. Before events, horses require brushing, hoof cleaning, feeding and decoration. After competitions, cooling down with water restores condition. Exploration covers locations such as Martin's Farm, Falkenstein Castle, the Old Mill, Wolf's Gorge, surrounding forests and Redwell Castle.
Steering focuses on timing, directional control and precision. Mistakes during runs deduct points, so consistent performance across multiple disciplines determines final standings. The addition of carriage driving introduces vehicle handling on country tracks, through gates and around slalom sections, expanding beyond traditional saddle work.
Game Modes
Competition revolves around a point-based tournament structure that leads to a final event. Available disciplines include checkpoint races, show jumping, slalom courses, flag collection, ring jousting and trail races. Each activity tests different skills while contributing to overall progress toward the cup.
Carriage driving operates as a distinct activity with dedicated races and obstacle navigation. The narrative thread follows the progression of the Summer Cup, where player choices in fairness and cooperation influence outcomes alongside Bibi's magical elements.
Story and Characters
The plot follows Bibi's return to Martin's Farm and the immediate start of tournament preparations. Rival Stephanie von Schotterburg pursues victory through questionable methods, creating tension that highlights themes of friendship and fair play. Players experience these events while switching between Bibi, Tina and Alex, each bringing unique perspectives to the shared adventure.
Supporting horses serve both functional and story roles, with unlocking mechanics tied to tournament performance. The setting draws on familiar series locations to ground the new competition in an established world.
Is It Worth Playing?
This single-player title with shared and split-screen options suits players interested in horse simulation combined with light adventure elements.
