Runner3 Description
Runner3 is another entry in BIT.TRIP series – 2D auto runner platformers – developed by Gaijin Entertainment. The game is a continuation of the adventures of CommenderVideo, the hero from the previous games. The game is available on PC, XONE and etc.
Mechanics
The gameplay didn't change much when compared to the previous titles. The game uses "auto runner" mechanics – during the game our character runs automatically to the right and our goal is to lead him through dozens of various levels. CommanderVideo has to avoid numerous traps by jumping over or sliding under them.
What is interesting is that all actions are performed accordingly to the music's rhythm – each action creates a sound and the soundtrack's tempo determines how fast our hero runs and the number of hazards. With time, we can unlock new abilities for the hero – using them in the right way is the key to success. It should also be mentioned that the developers listened to the series' community and added new features and made improvements to the already existing ones.
Technical aspects
Runner3, available on PC, XONE and etc., uses the same technology as the previous games in this series. Colorful, 2D graphics are made in pixel art style. The game also has an original soundtrack created for this game.
