The new LineRider, the end of an era?
I was reading this post at bit-101.com and I must agree with Keith. I mean, I was inspired by LineRider (check the domain name here and the Why the Name link), and I feel disappointed to see how complex they are making the game.
I think the reason it became some popular and viral in the first place, was because of its simplicity. With a minimalistic user interface and practically no learning curve it was really contagious. Although the learning curve was zero, the experience curve was huge. People could play for hours experimenting new ways to draw there paths.
I haven’t tried the latest version, but from what I have seen, it is now just like any commercial game. For me the enchantment is over.
