Now there's a man who picks a project and sticks with it till it's done!

Why can't I do that? :?

I was playing Bit.Trip Runner and it reminded me of your projects. It is a jumping game made like Guitar Hero. People who play instruments like Piano seem to have an advantage over those who don't. You have to jump, slide, spring and the timing is crazy. They start you off at a fast clip and it only gets worse.

Here:

http://www.bittripgame.com

They have a few videos on the site where the CEO, the programmer, and the graphic artist explain more about the games. I didn't see any other platforms available, but then again I didn't spend a lot of time on the site.

I think it is a remake for the Wii and there are other versions. It is possible that you will see this game on the DS or other systems in the future. This game could also be programmed on LEDs because the figure is a stick figure.

Here is a review:

Here is where we are at but it isn't easy:

The reason the game isn't easy is because you have a split second to hit the right button at the right time and sometimes the timing of the jumps is faster than the music or previous movements.

it looks like one of those games where you get just about to the end, then you make a mistake and you have to start all over again?

If you make a mistake before the finish line, it takes you back to the beginning of the level.

I think the product could be improved by making some easier levels, spacing the obstacles farther apart, having more music and making some of the levels longer. Supposedly, there are fifty levels so to start out with 1-10 being difficult means it is challenge oriented.

We tried Bit.Trip Beat but didn't understand it so we don't recommend it.

I also found MP3's of the Bit.Trip Runner soundtrack online.

Just like Super Pixel Bros!

I like those sorts of games, They certainly had some good ones back in the 80's which are similar, except for all the fancy graphics and sound...
