  • inkubux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+56I was about to call it Linerider forever. The update really rocks better than all the ripoffs.
    • gxcdesign, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17God I love the physics in this simple game
    • kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8could it be? an early christmas!?!? YAY! so much fun thanks ~fsk and good luck, I would for sure buy it for my DS.
    • surfactant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20"Anticipated to ship in Spring 2007, Line Rider for the Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo Wii from inXile entertainment will retain all the fun and thrills of the addictive Web version, but will also include new added features."

      from http://official-linerider.com/news.html
    • Maddpaky, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2hmmm... is this really better than zada??? im beginning to questoin which one is really better.
    • mariowario, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1needs the accelerating line also
    • retral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The only thing more I could ask for is an arc tool that allows you to create smooth/perfect jumps & such. I'm tired of my dude going splat when he hits my jittery arse loop.
    • eliteeggnog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For those who won't look all the way down the comments page, here's a couple links to the .exe version of the new LineRider 2 beta.
      Compiled myself. Tested, works same as .swf version:

  • bairy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Excellent. It'll be great to see what people create with this one!
  • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Two line-rider stories one after another!
    Wheres the accelerator line?
    • aurrea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28It's the red line.....
    • foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Thanks!
    • dj_sea2005, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9accelerator lines are too fun.

      for a fun game try drawing a perfect circle with the accelerator lines and see how many times the guy can loop before getting too fast and flying off.
  • rootishome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Awesome job! Can't wait to spend hours on it once again!
    • DharmaTurtle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Keyboard shortcuts... I need keyboard shortcuts.... so damn fun I don't want to waste time clicking around :D
    • kevyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@dharmaturtle: hold down spacebar and then drag the screen around rather than selecting the 'move' button
  • Shadow503, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Finally, death to all those fake imitators!!!
  • Gazm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Sweet, and smooth. Lines connect well and the straight line tool kicks arse
  • indy500fan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I still can't make a loop.

    /Sucks at this game
  • drum_bum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21YAY! an eraser!
    • tidu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4And it's better than the ripoffs' erasers!
  • CosmicBlend, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow something even better for me to waste time at work for!
  • GDunck, on 10/12/2007, -36/+3new version sucks.
  • drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5First time playing it was today pretty fun game
  • DownSyndrom3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Fun game. :D
  • njbraun, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4OMG, Christmas has come early!! I've been waiting forever for this. Truly a unique game/simulation.
  • stopsucking, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Line Rider must be a generational thing. I have tried it a couple of times but got bored after about 2 minutes. Anyone here over the age of say 30 playing with this stuff? This isn't a troll post...I'm honestly curious.
    • GDunck, on 10/12/2007, -57/+3People who have no life and love to waste countless minutes sitting in front of a monitor enjoy this game. So pretty much, the entire young generation of useless, fat, emo kids.
    • Edkim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7actually, people who are in a lame computer class play this game. when it's the only game that isn't blocked by our school, believe me, it's great.
    • polypropglop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Gather the villagers! The non-believers must be purged!! In ~Fsk we trust!!!
    • mwatwe01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+134-year-old here. After listening to my two young children scream all evening, this can be a quiet, pleasant distraction after they've gone to bed.
    • bloodmoney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm 37....Line Rider is a nice way to let your brain unwind after a hard day of work. I play all the time.
    • comstock76, on 10/12/2007, -5/+230y/o here and I love the game.

      Best of luck to ~fsk. I think the official new eraser kinda sucks. It has it's advantages over the knock-offs but over all, the official eraser sucks.

      In ~Fsk we trust!!!
    • stopsucking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hah..cool. I guess I'm not too young after all. I'll give it another chance.
  • SpacemanSpiff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I expect that the artistic users out there are going to do some amazing things with the scenery lines.
  • masterjepo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3just what i needed!
  • ArcticXC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7After finding out about the accelerator line I can't stop making tiny washing machines.
    • sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6lol. that was the first thing i did. infinite loop.
  • realbeandip, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope all the crappy hacks go away. I have to say that I was very disappointed to see that people with enough skill to decompile and add to a flash app would actually have the sack to publish their stolen wares and try to profit.

    I've only played this new version for a few minutes, but it looks very, very, very nice.

    Nice job.
  • nirav72, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2The best one so far... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geSag3bRXVY

  • Josto, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1physics engine is off, no?

    rider never comes to a complete stop
    • skyhighrockets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You're using the (red) accelerator line. try using the blue line.
  • RoryQ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Direct Link to swf http://official-linerider.com/images/engin2.16.swf
  • Burner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well, I was going to actually do some work at my job today, but I guess I can kiss that idea goodbye!
  • Caps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3So this is what the future is like...

  • Konlic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How do people make those big blocks that make you acclerate those lines
  • MinaSulo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1***** SWEET!

    Darn, I almost beat this story. ANYWAYS, this version is amazing! I don't quite like the accelerating lines because it kinda kills that aspect of the game, but that's just me and I know you can make some great videos with them.

    Too early for suggestions maybe, but I think that a 'magnetic' line would be cool (makes him stay on the line, like if you were going upside down he would not fall)
  • sxtxixtxcxh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4let me be the first to say it: can we get some bezier curves up ins?
  • IMustBeEmo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3It sucks.
    I hate how you can't draw close to a line without connecting to it.
    • eliteeggnog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hold the S button while drawing, if you had read the help, you would have known that turns line snapping off.
  • Copsh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yussss been waiting for this for ages! Being able to draw a straight line is awful handy.
  • dreamer123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2its awesome!
  • nubnub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Zoom & Fast Forward
  • trouble916, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0I dunno, I kind of like seeing the red accel lines when you're playing it. Alsom, no zoom???? Straight line tool is nice, otherwise I prefer ZaDa.
    • mojo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I also prefer ZaDa. The zoom feature is a huge help. Also the next release is going to contain the following:

      "Text editor, Brush Size & Color, Easy Delete Saves and finally Speedometer with extra stats."
  • mikonawa, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1liek omg this game's graphix suk therefore it's not fun lol!!!11!11!
  • filesalot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Is it just me? Fooled around a bit, saved, came back later, reloaded... he wipes out in a different spot.

    Non-deterministic == useless.

    Not that it was ever exactly usefull, mind you. :-)
    • saleem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yep! its really annoying.... played it 10 times, it worked fine. the 11th time he wiped out. what a n00b rider.
  • njbraun, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Direct link to SWF: http://official-linerider.com/images/engin2.16.swf

    Save Page as to play it outside of your browser (runs faster that way).
  • zip000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I've been playing for a bit now, and I have to say that in the new version there are things I don't like: I think it's harder to draw curves (maybe that's just me), the acceleration lines are silly...the guy will go uphill on them...which I think is lame, and several times I've deleted stuff accidentally.

    I do like the erase feature though.
  • Matrix_Prime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1how the ***** do you make a loop?
    • Caps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Make a downward line with a little gap that he can hop over easy. On the otherside of the gap ramp it upwards until it goes vert then curve it right round so that he can exit through the gap.
    • FMJ87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ah ok i've been wondering about that too
  • pbfreak453, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0this > unofficial for sure. amazing.
  • Dementedpiggy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1can somone link an .exe version? Thanks.
    • ronin2040, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1probably easier to dl the swf, and run it in media player classic....
  • avihappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I am soooo angry. I made a cool map, and when i loaded it again, it DIDN'T WORK(the rider would crash when it was supposed to work)!!
  • matrixclown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1incredibly awesome update
    but am I alone in wanting a braking line now? my guy is going so fast I have to make huge lines just to make a small increase in angle.
    • vrillusions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That's the awesome part with acceleration lines, you can. Just make the line go in whichever way you want to accelerate. Just hold down shift if you're going from right to left or else it will be a ceiling and he'll fall though. I've had making a couple skid pads that he kinda tumbles down. and have with slowing it down, and then shooting them back through.
    • matrixclown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1thanks. I didn't RTFM thats something good to know
  • hustl3r, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2For those who believe this beats the imitations: Linerider Zada 1.3c Direct Link - http://linerider.ca/linerider3_acc_flag2_zoom.swf
    Personally i much prefer Zada and was quite shocked with this new released, it looks quite tacky compared to zada with its bad quality flag, grey buttons and blocky coloured squares. I say Zada is much better and still has more features to be released for it. Considering the official version will be arriving on consoles, they really need to change the look (to something more professional looking like Zada)
  • wiredclimber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't wait to see what people come up with using this new version
  • JaggedEdge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yea too bad this version has MAJOR bugs.... i just spent 1/3 an hour working on a huge line rider thingy and i decided to start from the beginning after all my work.... lines went missing my line rider dude fell.... i tried fixing it but somehow in the process it ended up displaying everything as -575 lines....and then it froze up (i couldnt hit play button) had to Load the broken line rider game all over again that was missing all my previous fixes to the game that inevitably self destructed.... WAYYYY To many bugs.... this is my frist time actually getting into line rider and not just tinkering but i guess im just a bit too hardcore of a line rider landscaper. This Release sucks, should still be in beta phases BEWARE OF BUGS, I lost 30 minutes of my life... precious time, time ill never get back :P
  • shortarabguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1YES!! And literally just as I start my winter vacation! I'm going to get SO little work done in the next two weeks...
  • shoook, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0This may have already been posted, but if you like Line Rider at all you've gotta watch this ridiculous video; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3289828455192017532&q=line+rider
  • melophobia07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can someone link an EXE version?
    I need to save it on my Flash Drive for work.
  • Spudsworth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is cool but can be annoying, it would be sick if he followed the line completely, stuck to it like glueeeeeeeeeeee!!!
  • bl00w, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1now all we need is sound effects
  • Kangko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There is something very sinister about this version, I've spent over 4 hours on a line and it was all ok. Then I started to add scenery lines and somewhere along the track the scenery lines changed the velocity of the line rider just slightly so that he no longer makes a jump properly and just crashes. Beware of scenery lines!
  • elmstfreddie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yo, how do you record your levels ???
