Bit.Trip Run! Is Our iOS Game Of The Week [Editor’s Pick]

The fine folks at Gaijin Games released the sequel to their hit Bit.Trip Runner game on Thursday and we can’t seem to put it down.

Originally set to be called Bit.Trip Runner2: Legend of Rhythm Alien, Bit.Trip Run! is a super fun romp through the whimsical environments as Commander Video, the Bit.Trip mascot, of sorts. If you play long enough, you’ll unlock seven other characters, including a pickle, along with 40 different costumes to run with.

Here’s a quick video we recorded to show you the fun.

You’ll get to jump, slide, kick, and dance your way through three stunningly gorgeous worlds with 30 normal levels to finish along with three Boss battles. In addition, you’ll get to challenge yourself with 12 Challenge levels along with 15 Retro levels, which re-create the look and feel of the original Bit.Trip Runner game.

Bit.Trip Run! is available now in the App Store for $3.99 with no crazy in-app purchases or tricks to get you to spend more money. And? The team is already focusing on the next update. Check it out.
