I came into BIT.TRIP RUNNER expecting only to run, jump, and duck to the beat, like the Twisted System minigame in Fusion Frenzy or the skateboard minigame in the first WarioWare. I was shocked to find out this game was much more difficult and complex than the previous games in the series, and I was expected to jump, slide, kick through crystals, use a shield to block or smash through projectiles, and launch off trampolines. Luckily this was all set to some crunchy fat retro beats so it was easy to get into the groove... until the later levels anyway."
With the inclusion of the original game and a set of new mechanics that slot in naturally, Bit.Trip Rerunner is a stellar example of a remake.
Bit Cultures writer Conner plays through his Steam library in alphabetical order, writes a brief summary of his experience on each game, and then gives them his own personal rating. Here's week 9 of Steam A to Z!
This week's Humble Weekly Bundle looks like a must-buy. You can pay what you want for Shank 2, Blocks That Matter, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. Paying $6 or more gets you Runner 2, Fly'n, and Megabyte Punch. If you're willing to spend $10 or more, you can get King Arthur's Gold and Mark of the Ninja: Special Edition.
what an off-beat little title. looks amusing.
Not sure what I think of this one yet.
Hmm interesting. Their most addictive game to date?
Cool, but not really my kinda game.
I really want to play this game now!
