   A great game, different from usual. You need good reflexes in this game, and fast fingers!
   Very rhythmic, but it's one of those games that you lose a lot, and you ragequit.… Expand

   The game wasn't even on my radar before I picked it up in the Humble Indie Bundle, and when I loaded it up and played the first level, I was immediately excited. The visual design of the game, as well as bouncy platform that synced up nicely with bouncy, happy 8-bit inspired beats instantly warmed my heart. However, the game did not waste its time becoming a frustrating experience. I didn't even get out of the first zone before I turned the game off with a sigh. Imagine playing a rhythm game like guitar hero, but every time you missed a note, you had to start the entire song over again. If they were to take another stab at this idea, but fix a couple of the more frustrating set pieces (e.g., stairs are a HUGE pain) and perhaps add a rewind mechanic so that the cost of mistakes was not so high, then the fun would not be quite so outweighed by the frustration. I have continued to play this game, but I play it in short bursts, usually quitting when my teeth start to grind.… Expand

   BIT.TRIP RUNNER is yet another uninspired, limited, overpriced, extremely lacking in content independent game. Simply put, there were better games in the early 1980s that involved more intricate level design and more elaborate mechanics. The game play is incredibly repetitive, and very little changes between each level. Even on Easy, the difficulty is unreasonable for such a pointless game. You will rarely press more than one key at the same time, and even the music is mediocre. The game also seems to have serious stability and crashing problems, which adds to the overall cheap feel. In order to compensate for the lack of game, the developers resorted to the difficulty to prolong game play. The developers should be ashamed of themselves for asking the retail price for this title. Being free would actually be adequate, given the quality and depth of game play involved. BIT.TRIP RUNNER is a lifeless, lazy, and boring attempt at a game. There is really not much to it, and the small quantity it does have is not worth spending very much time with. It is yet another worthless attempt at game development.… Expand
