But the actual interface of drawing the lines, and correcting mistakes, is flat-out terrible. That in itself isn’t TOO bad, considering the game gives you unlimited times to try each stage, without penalty, and allows you to go back and get coins you might have missed before. The farther you get in story mode, the harder the puzzles get, to the point where if your line isn’t ABSOLUTELY perfect, the way the game wants you to do them, your rider will either fall off the course, get stuck, or crash. The premise sounds nice, but LR2 is done in by two fatal flaws: a need for absolute perfection, combined with an interface that does nothing but get in the way.

There are targets and coins throughout the stages targets are mandatory to collect, while coins allow the player to unlock items, though the items are just different riders for the sleds, which equals nothing more than a different skin for and sounds from your character.

This means that LR2 is less of a cute toy than it’s Flash-based predecessor is, and more of a puzzle game you need to get the speed right, and more importantly, the pitch of the lines themselves right, including curving them. If you jostle Bosh too much, you’ll end up making him crash, and lose the stage. Need to keep it controlled going down a hill? Then be sure to make it a slow or normal line, depending on pitch. Do you need to jump a ramp? Draw a fast line aiming up. The caveat is that you can only have a small box that you can draw inside you can only draw whatever it is you draw inside a green box. There’s a side of the floor that Bosh can roll on, and a side that he can go through, depending on what direction the line is drawn or if the “L” button is pressed. There are three types of lines you have to draw: normal, fast and slow. The actual story mode stages, once you get past tutorial, involve a part of a track that’s already set up for you, with you needing to fill in the lines, depending on what’s called for. The story really has no bearing whatsoever on the game itself, and is completely tacked on, but for what it is, and the age group it’s aimed at, it works out well, and while the clips themselves don’t affect my jaded self, they should work perfectly on someone who’s age is in single digits. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons Chaz tries to do something nefarious, Bosh races through, the trap backfires, cue the laugh track.

The “story” takes place in cutscenes between chapters of stages, which play out like minute-long imitations of Wile E. The story is about Bosh, as he tries to win the Ultimate Sled, fight off his bitter, cheating rival Chaz, and win the love of Bailey. There’s forty stages in all, with a small little tutorial in the beginning. Story mode is where the majority of the actual challenges takes place. There are three modes to LR2: Story, Puzzle and Freestyle.

So does the retail version expand upon the original enough to turn a hobby into a successful retail game? I dove in with great interest to find out.

The Flash game can be played here, and there’s another version – assumably more robust – that can be played at the Official Line Rider site, but that requires Microsoft Silverlight, and until someone shows me how to install that on OpenSuSE, I’m out of luck there.

Line Rider was created by a Slovenian student by the name of BoÅ¡tjan ÄŒadež to be used less as a game and more as a toy it allowed players to create lines of varying speeds for a sledder named Bosh to ride around on, with an intuitive physics based engine. InXile Entertainment decided it was their turn to get into the “free game as paid software” game, acquiring the rights to distribute a browser based game called Line Rider to the masses. There’s also N+, the successor of the simplistic but addictive flash game N.

On the positive side, Alien Hominid was a solid game that became a critically acclaimed game for the Gamecube, PS2 and XBox Live systems, and vaulted developer Behemoth into a spotlight that they’ve taken full advantage of with Castle Crashers. Elf Bowling was a fun game that could be played via a browser or via a download, for free, but was eventually released on the Nintendo DS, to universally scornful reviews and a few Worst Game of the Year nominations.

They’ve come so far, they’re not even free anymore, in a lot of cases. Freeware games have come a long way from the advent of flash-based web browser games around the beginning of this decade.
