BIT.TRIP RUNNER is a game that beautifully blends the world of memes with an incredibly fun gameplay experience, earning it a solid 4/5 rating from me.

52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Such a huge shame since, graphics are beautiful and create a pleasing set of environments to traverse, and the music plays along to your movement too which is very enjoyable and oh so satisfying to play, although i felt when you get to extra mode it sounds too harmonic and loses the grittyness which i loved of the soundtrack.

48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its rhythmic platforming, meme-inspired visuals, and humorous elements make it stand out among other games in the genre.
