Don´t get fooled by the rhythm tag and mentions of it on the description, this is NOT a rhythm game, it's a RUNNER. I'm saying this because most of the "rhythm" comes from random sounds that play each time you get through an obstacle, and even then, you HAVE to jump/kick/reflect off beat(for some reason) Also, I gotta say this game hasn't aged really well on the graphic side, not to mention some stuff like the reflect pellets blend with the background way too much and others like the red pellets that fall from the sky are pretty unfair. I would recommend getting Rerunner instead but I haven´t tried that yet so I'll just say this game is fine, not very good on readability, but its fine.

I remember playing the demo for this game on the Wii with my sister, we would get competitive about who could beat a level first. It is extremely nostalgic and it holds up. Still super fun and addicting, if a little bit frustrating at times. Love this game.

This game is one of the best games I've ever played. Ever since I played the original on the Wii, I've been in love with this series of games ever since. This is one of the best Platformer/Rhythm games I've been grateful to play. The charming graphics, the catchy music, and the fluid gameplay all come together to make a wonderful game everyone should try. While it may be hard and tedious, it'll pay off as you play. Even with ReRunner out (which is a good and faithful remake), the original still holds up really well. I recommend this game with all of my being.

As a longtime fan back from the days of Wiiware, this game has held up remarkably well. Runner, I feel is the one game from the BIT.TRIP series I'm best at, and even then it poses a wealthy challenge. Though it gets tough at times, it's hard to stay mad when you've got an incredible and inspiring soundtrack filling your ears as you go along, and the more difficult a level is the more triumphant it feels completing it. If you are to play any of the games from the series, make sure Runner is one you experience!
