Have you heard of Line Rider?
Line Rider is a Flash game. It was originally created for exam purposes by Boštjan Čadež, a Slovenian university student, and became an Internet phenomenon in October 2006. In the week ending on 16 October 2006, it was the seventh quickest gaining keyword in Google.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 by uploading a video to web sites, such as YouTube or Google Video.
A quote from the creator: . “This is a project I did for illustration class,” states ~fsk in a brief intro. “It’s not a game, it’s a toy… there are no goals to achieve and there is no score.”
Draw the track, and watch anxiously as Line Rider attempts it on his little bobsled. Play it enough and you will start to be able to create loops, draw backgrouds, hey, maybe you will even get as far as this! Before long you will be on the edge of you seat as you see Line Rider go! -Simple, fun, and addictive. This game gets my vote for the newest and funnest time waster, definately. 😀

But, as noted, it’s a toy . . . no high scores here, no trophies, just the joy of a little guy and his bobsled.
Thanks MrOats! That was a nice way to start the day.
