Line Rider, get ready to waste a couple hours

My first knowledge of this new craze (or soon to be craze) came from Brian Ford via his Newsvine article titled “This Holiday season, I give you the gift of Line Rider!” It’s now 45 minutes later and here I am posting about another site with all types of Line Rider videos.

From what I can gather, this “game” was posted to DeviantArt by someone. Since then I’m not sure and I don’t really know the reason, if anything other than fun, it was created. The physics Line Rider uses are pretty good and there are some truly awesome and elaborate “courses” you can create using this tool. Record your course, throw in some hip music with a good beat and you might have the next YouTube hit.

In an effort to be productive today, I’m going to limit myself to only watching a few of these videos and attempt to remove Line Rider from all my thoughts. Whether you choose to do the same is up to you. Either way, you definitely need to do yourself the favor of at least checking it out for a couple minutes.

    Just found this site via some links. Explains more about the Line Rider craze, which has been around since September — shows how on top of some things I am ;^)

    Official Line Rider website.
