John Bedford (Modojo): While Bit.Trip Run isn't the first of Gaijan Games' superb rhythm games to make an appearance on mobile phones, it is the first to be centered around what we consider to be the pinnacle of these tricky titles - the Runner series.
Specifically, it's a sort of remix of the PC sequel to Bit Trip Runner released earlier this year. That means Commander Video himself is here to race across an assortment of gorgeously colorful environments, packed with the sort of deliciously frustrating screen-tapping timing gameplay that makes these games so very, very satisfying.
Bit.Trip Run!, the nice endless runner game developed by Gaijin Games, is now available for free on the App Store
The endless runner game Bit.Trip Run! is now available for a reduced price on the App Store.
GIZORAMA - With over 57 different levels (and 37 to be added in future updates), Gaijin Games’ platformer Bit.Trip Runner Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, the sequel to the original Bit.Trip Runner, was successfully ported to iOS with the new and catchier title Bit.Trip Run!, but not without its flaws.
Taking control of the original game’s hero, Commander Video, players once again use many of the same moves and actions of Bit.Trip Run!‘s predecessor, with the exception of new obstacles such as loop-de-loops, the ability to glide, dance actions that boost the player’s score, and the introduction of trampolines. With over 40 unlockable costumes, the player is no longer limited to playing as Commander Video but, instead, has the opportunity to take control of a variety of his friends, earned after completing certain levels, and costumes, found in treasure chests dispersed throughout the game.
