    This is a great little game, perfectly suited to a handheld device like the Switch. Part auto-runner, part rhythm game, it's difficult (especially due to the lack of checkpoints) but satisfying enough to keep you coming back for "one more run". Great chiptune soundtrack too.

    It's an auto-runner (surprise!), but unlike others in that genre, it has a definitive end. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 21]

    RUNNER is still a rhythm game: the chiptune music is still just as strong, and you jump, duck, and kick to the beat in order to progress.

    If there was one BIT.TRIP game I had to recommend to a general audience, it would be BIT.TRIP RUNNER. It’s definitely the hardest game of the series and doesn’t necessarily do too much that’s exciting, but it’s still great fun and serves as the best introduction to what the series is all about.
