Line Rider 2: Unbound PC Vid

We love Line Rider on the PC, and the Wii version looks pretty groovy too. I just don't know if I'm down with all of that art work and such, I'm sure someone will be, just not me. Here's hoping the next video will actually show how the Wii remote is used, like with the action happening as someone uses it. I'm intrigued.
Update: Turns out that this is indeed the PC version, despite the fact that it was placed in a folder for Wii videos. Sorry about the confusion.

Line Rider Shills For McDonalds

It's been a while since I've pledged to never again post a Line Rider clip, but this final Line Rider clip—definitely my last!—is notable for its shilling of McDonalds food. It's the fast food of the "healthy" variety that I've yet to see anyone order at a McDonalds and an odd marriage. We hope Boštjan Čadež got himself something nice and shiny for his time. Honestly!

Games As Art: Line Rider


No, this isn't going to turn into some soap-box straddling address on why games should be considered art. There's a time and a place for that, and this is neither. This is just a Line Rider level you may enjoy watching, that's all.

Line Rider Wii And DS This Summer

Way back in December of 2006, InXile announced that they had picked up the rights to the popular internet toy Line Rider and were working on versions for the Nintendo Wii and DS - and then everything got quiet, at least until January, when we posted a clip of commercial version of the game in action. Now we finally have word of an impending release, courtesy of Genius Products LLC, which plans on making its debut in the video game publishing market with Line Rider this summer. The game features a story mode concerning a sledder named Bosh who has to navigate over 40 puzzles created by Line Rider star TechDawg in order to save his girlfriend from some guy named Chaz. Luckily players will also be able to create their own levels, which is the very reason the 'game' was so popular in the first place. Hit the completely hand-drawn jump for the full press release.

Line Rider: Hooting And Hollering Edition

We're not lacking in stellar Line Rider clips, but now that the Far Side calendars at Kotaku Tower read 2008, it's time to start posting Line Rider clips anew. The good news is this—this particular clip is of the official commercial version of the former Flash-only toy. The bad news, however, is that someone forgot to retain the charm and simplicity of the original that made it so endearing. Those responsible have also added enough hooting and hollering to make the mute button your best pal. Oh well, it had a good run.

Line Rider Going Mobile

You know it had to happen. A game that is as fun as it is simple can't help but get sucked up by a mobile game developer. More »

Clip: The Kotaku Line Rider

In addition to our regular hate mail (do keep it coming!), reader James was kind enough to pass along this Kotaku Line Rider. Touched, we were. Many thanks! Brian Ashcraft

Line Rider Clip For The Ages

Didn't I pledge at some point to never again post a Line Rider clip? The Flash toy and future DS and Wii title may be old hat to some, but I'm still fascinated by Line Rider creations. Despite my inability to keep my word, trust that this one is the best of the bunch. Even with a Chad Kroeger from Nickelback soundtrack, you ask?

One More Amazing Line Rider Clip

It still doesn't beat out the most amazing Line Rider clip ever, but since the "web toy" is coming to the Nintendo DS and the Wii, here's one more (final?) demo of what you can strive for with the commercial release. Stick around for the sad ending. Michael McWhertor

The Most Amazing Line Rider Clip Ever

You may not care that Line Rider is coming to the Nintendo DS and Wii, but you gotta show a little respect for the skills necessary to put together this clip titled "Urban Run." Plus, whomever had the good sense to tack on some Katamari tunes deserves a hair-tussle and a "nice job." Seeing this just makes me want the DS version that much more. Michael McWhertor More »

Line Rider Coming To DS, Wii

That amazing little Flash toy Line Rider, which began its life as a project for an illustration class according to creator Bostjan Cadez is due to be ported to the Nintendo DS and the Wii. Line Rider is coming this spring courtesy of inXile entertainment with "new added features". What looks like a deceptively simple non-game can become a powerfully fun tool in the right hands. Don't believe me? Check out this amazing clip of Line Rider officially "jumping the shark." More »
