Line Rider on PC, Wii, DS, and now, Mobile! - Image 1


While the Nintendo Wii and DS version for Line Rider has already been announced, it seems that the project's product line has stretched that much further: Line Rider is set to slide onto mobile phones as well. The PC internet meme game has surely become a phenomenal hit and it's, according to Chris L's words, "right up there with JezzBall and Internet pictures of Natalie Portman." Right-o, Chris.

Anyways, anyone who's familiar with Line Rider knows that one of the biggest features (and here's when the whole "meme" factor kicks in) is that you can share your very own Line tracks to other users. Both Nintendo versions have confirmed support for this feature, and now, with a mobile version (also with "track-sharing" support) set to be released, exchanging Line tracks with your friends becomes that much "on the fly."

Create tracks on your mobile phone, share them online, transfer them to the Wii, put them on your DS... this meme from Bostjan Cadez proves to be one unending ride. In-Fusio is picking up the publishing rights on mobile, and CEO Frank Keeling says:

Line Rider is a perfect application for mobile. It's fun, simple, addictive, and viral. We look forward to expanding the robust Line Rider community to mobile phones throughout the world.


While the game has strong a "pick-up-and-play" factor, adding the mobile platform to its version line-up will definitely stretch its influence.

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.
