Line Rider will be released on Wii and DS this spring - Image 1

California-based studio inXile Entertainment is proud to announce that Line Rider creator Bostjan Cadez recently won a Game Developers Choice Award (GDCA) for Innovation. If you are not familiar with Line Rider, it's a Flash-based video game that lets players paint the landscape by drawing one or more lines using the mouse. Pressing the "Play" button prompts the bobsledder to ride the user-created landscape.

inXile Entertainment CEO Brian Fargo is very proud with Cadez.

The second that I saw Line Rider I knew that it was something special. For Bostjan to be awarded with the Innovation award along with huge titles from Nintendo and Capcom is a true honor, and only validates the fact that Line Rider is a great game and will be around for years to come.


Line Rider was licensed by inXile Entertainment and will be published on Wii and DS this coming spring. The game started out as Cadez's school project back in 2006. It suddenly became in internet phenomenon and was the seventh quickest gaining keyword in Google just a month after it was released on deviant ART.
