Line Rider

Once again a very simple yet highly entertaining, not to mention addictive program. I don’t think that the word simple is expressed enough here. The basis of the game is that you draw a line and a little man on a sledge (I guess technically he is the line rider) will attempt to slide down your creation, and the aim of the game is not to let him crash or fall off. Simple as it sounds it is highly addictive, which I think is one of the games best qualities, as a result people have taken it to the extreme creating really quite complex tracks and posting them on sites such as you tube. Tracks where the line rider jumps over a series of gaps, shoots around loops and even goes backwards. A little bit over the top I know, however the videos are quite entertaining and just show how something so simple can be in a way so complex.
