Bit.Trip Runner is a platformer, but it’s not as predictable as you might imagine. You control Commander Video, an all-black blob with protruding sticks representing his arms and legs, and you have only limited say in exactly how he moves. Commander Video is an impatient hero, so he will not wait for you to push right on the D pad for him to begin moving.

It’s not particularly ..read the full article
