I like the aesthetics, the general controls feel really good and when it clicks it really clicks. Unfortunately the later levels in this game really annoyed me requiring a lot of trial and error and super precise jumps to be well positioned for obstacles that weren't even on screen. I wouldn't have minded if the levels were much shorter, my breaking point was one of the taking up almost two hours of my time. At that point I had enough as the later two levels I didn't do looked more of the same. It's a solid game but I really wanted to like it more
I can easily recognize what it was about Runner made it special in 2010. In the modern day, with new standards and sequels, I just couldn’t have fun with this one. I feel like I’ve been super negative, but there’s not much else I have to say about the game. I hope that Choice Provisions never forgets this game, because it makes a lot of mistakes, that future titles can avoid. That’s really the best a mediocre game from the past can give isn’t it?
DO NOT go for 100%
Games like this make me realize how much I love platforming games. Pixel perfect sequences feel so good. I had Super Meat Boy on my mind when playing (even before the cameo!) because it does the same thing where failure is extremely short, you start again right away and the music keeps going so you stay in the zone. Great game. Those last few levels were insane.
Easily the worst of the original Bit.Trip hexalogy. It being a much longer game and a much more difficult game make it stick out like a sore thumb. Kinda wish this one wasn't the one to get two sequel-spinoffs, but I do trust those games shake things up quite a bit.
They bait you with an optional item so you die and have to restart the whole level. Pretty cool mechanic if u want me to hate the developers
