Spiffy101, on 10/12/2007, -38/+2Awesome!
I was just about to post this :D
- bozboyku1, on 10/12/2007, -35/+1lol so was I, wait I told you about it...
- AkatsukiNoTobi, on 10/12/2007, -5/+55I'm supposed to be studying for exams right now. Damn you Line Rider. Damn you!
- DTAL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26How can something so simple be better than almost all the other flash games out there
- thespace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23guess I'll have to call my boss and tell him I quit
- CherryTzors, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30NOT REAL UPDATE! Yes, I just broke 1 Internet law. BURY NOW!
- fyrehart, on 10/12/2007, -8/+6This was on linerider.ca last week...
- Mitijea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This is not official, it is Idog's Zada version. You can find it at linerider.ca (Not linking so as not to piss off the purists. For those interested though, it is very well done.)
- Mitijea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Here's an update from linerider.ca: "Update V1.3 is on hold .
  We are not releasing the new update
  
  EZO from Linerider.org copied our code and now claims it to be Linerider2 .
  It's the exact same script we completed .
  We urge every member that cares for my work to visit .org and let everyone know that it's .ca who made this version and to give us the credit we deserve."
  
  Not making any judgements, just fyi.
- NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sadly this isn't very good... I fall through the lines way to often
- waytoorandomx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Copied from linerider.ca. Losers.
bigmansteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+80Everybody's making money off of Line Rider except the author :P
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1How exactly is anyone making money with it?
- StellarlyAstral, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It's called advertising.
- Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3advertising= putting up ads at a cost for businesses so they can get there word out by advertising on your website they pay you to advertise them through ads and you make money
- IamTheProfessor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Have you seen the ridiculous advertisements on this page? Do you think this tool just put them there for decoration?
bozboyku1, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Standalone version direct link

http://www.linerider.org/downloads/LineRider2.zip
wassupening, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Is this even by ~FSK?
- iSamurai, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25No, it doesn't seem so.
- divergentdave, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28Nope. The site says:
  "This website has been made by Wietse de Vries (Ezo). The game Line Rider by Boštjan Cadež (fsk)."
  Buried as inaccurate.
- ginrummy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I'm with you divergentdave, inaccurate, buried.
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23There hasn't been an update yet on his deviantART, so this is most likely just a modified version.
  
  http://fsk.deviantart.com/
- themarq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19This is another ripoff---NOT OFFICIAL.
  
  Buried as inaccurate and in respect to the original author.
- Eagerod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It says modified by linerider.org, as far as i know, originals are not modified, they are, well, original, another bury for inaccuracy.
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21this is in the code:
  msg = "modified by ezo and ben linerider.org";
  msg = "Hello dude, if you are reading this";
  msg = "you must be decompiling linerider :) they call it linerider2";
  msg = "sounds funny in russian ^_^";
  msg = "if you are the creator of the original linerider, then";
  msg = "I am sorry. I did this for $0. I m a person.";
  msg = "FLCL RULES.Pillows ?????!?????!";
  msg = "bla bla bla. I think i can,... I think i can,I think i can";
  msg = "I think i can, I think i caaaaaaaaaan!!!!! dum taratatam";
  msg = "taratatam taratatam dum dumm dummm trrr";
  
  im glad someone did this and the creator doesnt deserve money if he cant get off his ass and make some ***** updates on his own!!! all he did was whine about ppl cracking it, WTF IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!
- manchld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"I'm a person"
  
  wow, thats pretty profound, especially when its followed by 'taratatam taratatam dum dumm dummm'...
sannin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i'm curious too..reminds me of the other modified line rider one. Too busy to check for comparisons..although the eraser seems awfully familiar.
aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Jesus, look at all those ads.
- pendy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+39What ads?
  
  *Thank you Firefox and Adblock*
- avihappy, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Adblock PLUS
- jshusta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0and i heard a voice screaming, "holy jesus what are these god damn adimals?!"
- minigamer1896, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@pendy
  or Opera ;)
saleem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15inaccurate. good mod but not original's. fsk has clearly died.
dietprozac, on 10/12/2007, -7/+28It seems to me like the spirit of the toy has been lost... What's next, Linerider-3D? I remember back in my day when we didn't have any fancy-schmancy erasers, we had to plan ahead! That is what's wrong with the world today: you young people are obsessed with features and expect life to be easy! That and the fact that the Jews own everything.
- sweetmartian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"In my day, we didn't have safety standards for toys. We got rusty nails and big bags of broken glass! That's the way it was, and we liked it! We loved it!"-- grumpy old man
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Back in my day, iPods were for listening to music, viewing pics, and playing videos, not playing these techy-thingamabooby games! Where has the spirit of non-interactivity gone? Things were better in my day!
j3one, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lol, I just decompiled it... pillow fight. classic.
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1and u think your special ....?
  i did too :P
MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13http://fsk.deviantart.com/

Not the real one. If it's not on deviantART, it's probably fake.
- saleem, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2who cares? fsk has done his fans a disservice by not releasing anything in well over a month. let other ppl take his profit, fractions of a penny at a time.
- piwy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2since when did he HAVE to release any update? the dude works at his own pace. of you don't like it stfu.
fridyrls, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1nope. he's living in the Caribbean, sipping rum and coke.
demz99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2this game is so much better with the eraser
ledmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Not only is it fake, but it sucks, way more buggy and crappy then the Line rider ZaDa unofficial release that came out a short while ago..
chriscohoat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7a nice line smoothing feature would be nice, i can't help but make jumps of death by accident
- mikesty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's a ridiculously good idea.
wassupening, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If I were ~FSK I'd be repeatedly pounding my face into a wall right about now. Morons like these linerider.org guys need to start thinking up their own ideas, not just copying other people. I mean come on, look at how peppered the site is with advertisements. Bastards.
- technoextreme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Well its not like Linerider is a derivative of other web games. Sodaplay is a similar game that allows you to draw lines and create rides.
- JackHallows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, Sodaplay is mass, spring, and bar simulator. True, you CAN make something like this out of it, but that wasn't originally intended, "rollercoasters" as they are called on the site are a fairly new fan-created concept.
TheGilmanator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Buried inaccurate because it's not from ~fsk. Posers. (It's not very good, either.)
JonAce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Buried to hell. What makes it worse is this lamer had to throw ads on there.

fsk really needs to copyright Line Rider...
- TheGilmanator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Technically any work is copyrighted upon creation. He/she just needs to enforce it.
  
  Trademarking the name might be a good idea, though.
zanvann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I was looking forward to the entourage of crazy line rider videos on you tube.
Until I found out this was FAKE! : (
r4NGe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11respect the fsk, BURY THIS
Bamborzled, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"The Official ~fsk Line Rider update!"

Either the submitter didn't pay enough attention to the site and just posted it, or he REALLY wants to piss Line Rider fans off.

Bury this story.
mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yes! This, and Falling sand.. Deadly combo. for time anyway. ;)
avihappy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Damn, I thought this was official
- sibhod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Where'd you get a crazy idea like that? Surely not an inaccurate article title!
Eagerod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Amazing... just like one of the last "official" line rider frauds, this one already has over 350 Diggs, even though pretty much everyone has figured out its a fake.

Do the right thing, go into your profile and UnDigg it.
Strattonopher, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Morons like this are really butchering linerider. I was a member of deviant when this first went big, and now..... god damn you sons of bitches. I love me some linerider, but when i see this ad salted website trying to act like its the official, it makes me sick. And this versions SUCKS. It takes time and patience to get good at linerider. You dont NEED an eraser tool it just makes it easier. And this magnetized lines is pathetic and ruins linerider completely.

I love you ~fsk

Buried with passion.
vladin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0OFFICIAL or not... Its line rider with an eraser. even if the eraser sucks, better than nothing. dugg.
Bonekhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Buried for being lame.

Why'd you get my hopes up like that? :(
Strattonopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Upon completeling my first comment, this article received 12 more diggs. I HATE how people digg without actually examining the article.
sryb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2seems very buggy :/
JackHallows, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Submitter:

You are an idiot, this is NOT the official release by ~fsk on deviantart.

Buried for inaccurate...

Edit: There goes that "Who cares if it's true, let's Digg it! (without RTFA first)" thing again......
silga, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2yeh teh original programmer's a noob
masterjepo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its not the official next version ~fsk made, or he would have posted it in his journal entries on deviant.

But, its still pretty cool.
MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How is this still on the homepage. If I were fsk, I would send a c&d to linerider.org
eatporktoo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1...
IMustBeEmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You got me all excited only to realize you lied and it's not by ~fsk.

Pretty stupid how the "acceleration" lines are red and so are the "you can't draw that here you r-tard" lines. You can't tell the difference.

BURIED! Lame & inaccurate?
MattyLite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Buried . . . ugh. You ***** keep getting my hopes up.
Shadow503, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, this is a piece of junk. Maybe the reason FSK is taking so long is because he has higher standards and doesn't just create garbage.

Did you notice this guy misspelled "zoom". ROFL

Line snapping is also implemented horribly in this.

Buried.
mukyboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1AHHHH!!!! It needs auto save or an undo button. after one hour of work was ruined by a stray mouse click on the trash can
idog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As u all know this was taken from linerider.ca and they clones it claiming they completed it. Anyone just needs to do a Digg to last week and see. Shame on EZO
modare, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0LOL the real update is going to be on linerider.ca but as of right now I cannot say when for it has been put on hold by Idog. All the issues have been fixed that you are seeing in the BS version that EZO "borrowed" from linerider zada V1.2. V1.3 of linerider zada is the absolute best thing ever the line snapping is switchable on/off and the zoom holds with a simple press of the Z or X keys. Now how do I know all of this because if you will go and look on linerider.ca forum you will see I am the super moderator there and Idog has been so kind as to let me test the newest V1.3 before it gets released just to make sure it is fixed. So to get the only updated version that is working correctly Idog will have to release it to the public. fsk had nothing to do with the update other than he made the original linerider beta and from there it has always been someday he will release the update. Idog took the bull by the horns and created all the updates himself and has ALWAYS made it known that the original was created by fsk and even has gone so far as to say that he would truly like it if fsk would use his (Idog's) codes and made it even better. But alas all we ever heard was from EZO on linerider.org that fsk was working on the updates and that they had been postponed till December sometime. Well the only problem I have with that is why? Why would fsk have to take that long to update the codes to include the few things that were always being mentioned? I can understand his being busy but not to the point that he could not have done this in a month or so. So could it be that EZO has just put up a website claiming that it is the home of the original Linerider and he is just hoping that fsk will put out the updates so he can then "borrow" them and make his site look good again?

All EZO has done here is take something that Idog did (updates to fsk's programming)and change the name in it then posted it to his site and claim it as his own. Believe what you will about the updated linerider2 but it is a copy of LineRider ZaDa V1.2 that has the exact same bugs that Zada V1.2 has.

But when the new ZaDa V1.3 comes out all the bugs are gone and the play is unbelievable!!!!!!!
webhazard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Don't worry guys, there's an official update coming. It won't be on fsk's journal though, since a big company is backing him up. Give him time. He's received several offers since the game got insanely popular.
Shruthi99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yea it looks better than line rider ZaDa..

but its a complete ripoff of ZaDa
if he gave credit i'd be playing "Line Rider 2"
and on the forums, ezo says he got permission from fsk
yeah......riiiight.
Dude_1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WTF how can the be this "official' update if it says in big letters at the bottom "modified by linerider.com"
webhazard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here is the Ezo selling ads for his site
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=184161

Go get em boys!
ohsin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0fsk WILL put an end to these copycatz by HIS update ........................i hope :)
Ezow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wowow :P i caused a rampage on serveral big sites :)
On linerider.ca, on linerider.org, digg.com, deviantart and maybe more :P
Well, sorry for this, but it was a little war between Idog, and me. Because he stole my layout and forum sttucture, and even copied comments on movies i got on my site. Well, sorry but i don' want to explain this another time... Idog and i will find a solution within 2 days i guess, and then everything will be almost back to normal :) quite funny what i can do in 5 minuts.
- Shadow503, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0FSK has better english than you. Try capitalizing your I's for once. How did you manage to misspell structure as sttucture?
  
  And BTW:You misspelled zoom on your actual game.
- WeSaluteYou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Idog > Ezom (but competition is good)
- Ezow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry for my English, it was really late. But tonight there will be an deal between Idog and me. Just have a look then and everything will be OK.
polypropglop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Look at the F'n site before you digg it!

:P
warnerrr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What I don't understand is how everyone keeps making better versions of the game, yet the guy who made the game is too busy crying about it to make a "real" update....so maybe he should just stfu and make an updated version and then *VOILA* he coul dmake some money off of it. Then he could put DRM on it and nobody would play it anymore, and he could bitch about something else for a few months.
wakestyle13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1this is not the official update, nor is it legit check out the forums at line rider.ca the only one that is legit, line rider. org, stole line rider.ca, therefore postponing line rider.Ca's newest release, they had to negotiate a new version for .org which sucks compared to .ca
- Ezow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They copied things from linerider.org aswell...
Jemulov, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Buried as innacurate but i also find it lame, too many advertisements. And is it me or did they speed up the acceleration? It seems faster compared to original linerider.
