Line Rider
Sunday, December 03, 2006

Cute, fun, simple, amazing. All those adjectives apply to Line Rider, a cool Flash game in the new Games section of flyingcracker.com.

The basic concept is to draw one or more lines with your mouse on which a small character (Line Rider) with a sled can ride. The game includes a physics simulation, 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. In our opinion that makes the 'toy' even more compelling.

Originally created by a Slovenian student for an illustration class project, Line Rider is a breakaway Internet hit. Read more about Line Rider here.

We have the original version, no imitations accepted. Be warned, Line Rider is quite addicting so don't try it unless you've got some free time.
