Line Rider

Line Rider is an Indie game, that has made its biggest appearance on mobile devices. Now, this is another "App Game" that is not much like another out on the market. The game has built up quite a large fan base, and even created what I like to call "line artists" for the great detail and time put into this game.

Now, as I said Line Rider is not like a lot of other "App Games" on the market. It doesn't have have a story, or a plot, or even basic game play. The only thing you do in this game is draw. Yup, that is right, you just draw. You use a multitude of different colored pencils to create any thing you want.

In Line Rider, you draw a track of any design and have a little dude on a toboggan ride your track. Plan and simple. This is a game that I really like, but I wish I was better at., How can you be bad at a game that you just draw in you ask, well that is simple. I cant draw a straight line in this game to save my life. When you can not draw a straight line in a game called Line Rider...you are pretty much a failure. Anyways, the game is about how far your imagination can take you. This is something I really like, because if you anything like me, you can not keep your mind on track to save you self from any amount of boredom. With a game like line rider, where you can build any type of track possible, it really keeps a person busy to kill some time.

I did mention "Line Artist", these are people I tip my hat to. For there is now way I could ever put the details and let alone the time they have put into these designs for this game. A great example of this is the McDonald's Line Rider commercial. Here I put up an impressive video to show the amount of errfort these people put in that I just am way to lazy for.


If you ask me, it is game like line rider and it's generation of "App Games" that made mobile gaming, especial with the IPhone as popular as it is. So check out the PC version of this game Here.
