For most of January, I've I been playing a computer role-playing game. I've almost finished it and will write about it soon. I forgot about another game I dabbled with earlier in the month, however. That game was BIT.TRIP RUNNER (henceforth referred to as BTR for brevity). BTR is a 2D "runner" style game in which your character is constantly in motion on the screen from left to right. There is a lot of jumping as well and some sliding and kicking to avoid obstacles. Music with a driving beat serves as a backdrop to the action. It was addictive but a bit frustrating as well. Almost completing a level only to die and start over wasn't too bad at first. Unfortunately, dying became so commonplace that I eventually gave up on BTR before finishing all of the levels.
