BIT.TRIP RUN! is a shining example of how to port a game to mobile. The tightly responsive, elegantly fluid experience of on PC and consoles has been translated to iOS with nearly identical content, quality, and fun intact. Despite being best experienced with a controller/gamepad, the transition to touchscreen controls has been superbly executed, presenting mobile players with gameplay perfectly adapted to the platform without feeling watered down. That gameplay pits players against the same finite running levels found in Runner2 as they control the always-ambulatory CommanderVideo. The dangerous, robotic minions of Mingrawn Timbletot are spread across three worlds--the Welkin Wonderland, Emerald Brine, and Supernature--in an attempt to stop our hero from escaping his current imprisonment in an unknown dimension. Players of BIT.TRIP RUN! will be treated to the same story, Charles Martinet-narrated cutscenes, and even wacky commercials available in Runner2, although the final two worlds--the Mounting Sadds and Bit.Trip--will be released in a future, free update.
