Line Rider Beta 2

Shhh... Listen. The slurping sound you hear is coming from the collective decline in the planetary GDP. This thing is addictive. I will admit to at least a good five hours of playing with this back in beta 1. I think my four year old is nearing the century mark. Beta 2 is a huge improvement. New features:

  • The pencil tool now seems more smooth
  • Each line shows by color what is the front and back of the line
  • A Line tool that now lets you make perfectly straight lines
  • An Eraser! One line at a time.
  • Swatches: Blue for regular, Red for acceleration, and green for decoration only. (They all turn black when playing)
  • Zoom!
  • The Flag. This one is huge. You can save the riders current position during simulation, a flag is placed at that location, and the next 'play' will start the rider at that spot!

The console rights have apparently been aquired by inXile, and they are talking Wii and Nintendo DS launches.
