    • gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15A person who played linerider for the win and actually WON!

      lol, I loved the cannons. I love how it's actually possible to do that (though most likely unintended). I figured that out too while messing around with bad ramps and it was fun to do.

      And the loops, yea the loops were pwn.

      I also noticed that he used a neat linemaking strategy: right click on one spot and click (or right click) again somewhere else for a straight line. If you continually right click, you should be able to make a chain of straight lines, which helps a lot.
    • Monolith2, on 10/12/2007, -25/+3How the hell is this possible when you can't save or erase?! How do you get the proportions perfect for the jumps?!?!
    • knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21edit: here's a link to the game: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/40255643/
    • gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6"How the hell is this possible when you can't save or erase?!"

      I don't know, but seeing as to how you *can* save, I think your post negated itself.
    • bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Monolith2, if i remember right you can save...theres a little save icon at the top of the screen.

      edit: i was beaten by gncaddict
    • pope7, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7how does he do the cannons?
    • EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You can save. To get the proportions for the jumps you have to make right-to-left lines as markers, play the animation, watch the character's movement past those markers and make the landing ramp according to what you see.
    • sambtravis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@nthitz it took me like 2 minutes to figure out your comment... That was a classic episode.
    • Alphabet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5you should check out his other videos. Especially the leaping lizard and ding ones.

  • cookiebearo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL6n0t7wLvk

    this one uses straight lines also so it gets going really fast, i'm not sure how they get they lines because the new version isn't out yet ;o
  • redrighthand, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Love it!!! I get frustrated to easy to make him go any further than a single jump
  • tekmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21$10 says that was created by an engineer.
    • ejackso8, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I object to this racial statement.
      Wait a sec
      Does that mean I'm smart cause I'm an engineer
      You made a funny.
  • totorototoro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7an erase tool would be awesome..or would that make it less challenging?

  • driftwood07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0damn thats amazing. i usually cant get a single loop to work ;
  • weprin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This is absolutely based on an old DOS game called Action Supercross. The game as been renamed Elasto Mania. It's a shareware game and is quite fun. You can even design your own levels!

  • pete1973, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that was totally awesome!!
  • Coronagold, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0They probably used FRAPS to record the video. Amazing ride!
  • Amything, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have been trying this out for last few minutes. This is much more difficult than it looks. Clearly the guy who made this video is utterly insane.
  • timmyboywonder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15This would make a killer DS game.
  • poorbusker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yeah, this game really is meant to be played on something like DS
  • colifis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Jumping the Shark usually refers to the point in a classic TV series starts to head permanently downhill.

  • poorbusker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5the Fonz in Happy Days did it too. That's where the term "Jumping the Shark" comes from
