Line Rider is a Flash game originally created in September 2006 by Boštjan Čadež (also known as fšk), a Slovenian university student.[1] Originally appearing on deviantART on September 23 2006, Line Rider quickly became an Internet phenomenon.
Line Rider has been featured by several websites, such as Yahoo![2] and Time Magazine's website.[3] Line Rider was also selected by staff and voted by users as the Best Webtoy of 2006 in the Jay is Games polls.[4]
Gameplay
The basic concept is to draw one or more lines with the mouse on which a small man (referred to as "dude" by the creator[5]) on a sled can ride after the player presses the "Play" button. The game includes simulated physics, which means the track must be sufficiently smooth to prevent the character from falling off the sled. The author has said that he prefers the description "toy" to "game", as there is no goal to accomplish, nor does it have an end.[6] In spite of its simplicity, many complicated tracks have been created, which include loops and other stunts. Some tracks are even set to music and include hand-drawn scenery such as mountain slopes and trees. Tracks are typically shared among users by uploading a video to web sites, such as YouTube or Google Video.[7]
Game versions
InXile released a new version of Line Rider on December 19 2006; a number of bug fixes and a target designating the starting point of the sled along the line were added on December 24 2006.
On December 20 2006, it was announced that InXile Entertainment gained console rights for the game, legally restricting copies and imitations of the game. On the official site it was stated that there would be Nintendo DS and Wii versions in Spring 2007 which would have new features.[8] As of September 2007, no such games have been released. The latest version of line rider is revision 6.2 and was released on 8/16/07.
