Video: Bit.Trip.Runner

Bit.Trip.Runner is another Bit.Trip Game from the popular WiiWare series by Gaijin Games. However, due to popular demand, released on the PC over Steam.

After playing this game for quite a while on the Wii, I was quick to jump on it for the PC on Steam, the game uses a amazing 8-Bit soundtrack combined with platforming elements to bring an experience to the user, and due to the way the game functions. It’s unlikely that you will experience a level the same way twice. Leaving endless hours of fun experiencing levels over and over again.

Bit.Trip.Runner has about 50 levels that take you through several different biomes, each having it’s own set of distinct music and gameplay elements. This renders the game very entertaining just to watch.

The game also features a classic mode, which is not shown in the video, reverting back to an arcade type gameplay style, which is used as bonus levels throughout the game, there is one bonus level for each modern level.

The PC version has a leaderboard feature for level scores, as well as a soon to be internet community feature (twitter, ect).

Now colloquially, I must note that the game tends to throw many new things at you, as you may see in the video, often resulting in one level taking several tries until you eventually memorize the pattern. To put it in perspective, the video is 5 minutes of the 30 minutes of video I recorded. Leading to a slight frustration element of the game when repeating a level. I do believe the gameplay experience makes up for this greatly though.

Buy it on steam!
