So, the next game in the (totally amazing) Bit.Trip series officially has a name now. It's called Bit.Trip RUNNER, which has my narcissism-sense tingling like crazy. You see, I worked on a game called Runner, and the creator of the Bit.Trip series reviewed the game for this very site. To think that our game may have influenced him in any way has my heart all a flutter.
Even more flutter-inducing is this tiny bundle of insider info- Bit.Trip Runner wont feature a Mackle Fussybuck. To quote the game's developers directly;"We don't have a Mackle Fussybuck, but we do have: Jabol Smabbler, Junior Melchkin, Flyss Whizzle, Mingrawn Timbletot, Leftwise Gestersmek (and a Rightwise one to boot), Hairy Knorkwhisp, and our favorite... The NonTrotski. Basically, we're makin' this sh*t up."
It true folks, basically, they're making this sh*t up, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Trust me, once you see this game in motion, you'll understand.

Talking about Runner, is there any chance you guys might upload the game somewhere else? willhostforfood.com was shut down in November and I would very much like to play the game.
