I second all of this except the walrus face.

Despite only being able to reach the first boss in Void, I really do like it. I don't really know why, either. D:

Void is beauty. I hope they revisit that approach to color and music in one of the next Bit Trips. I love the bright look, too, but it is definitely hard on the eyes for long play.

This game is epic, downloaded it 3 hours ago and played for 2 hours. I have 1-11 unlocked and all gold bars in the stages 1-1 till 1-5 (no bonus levels). I'm curious how the boss works...

3 levels to go! The fourth-to-last was so insanely difficult for me...I must have died 100 times. So far the level I'm on right now seems much easier, but I am totally burnt on the game tonight.

Still loving it though. Not many games...hell, no other game, really...could keep me playing so long through so many deaths without quitting in frustration.

A little further in, and I have to say that I think this is my favorite game to release on Wii (that I've played) this entire year, retail or download. Better than Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko VS. Capcom, and Cave Story (haven't played Monster Hunter yet...).

But I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 will change my mind on that statement.

Is that 3-8 or 3-7? I definitely had a lot of trouble with one of those, then 3-9 was definitely easy (and maybe 3-8 too I can't remember exactly) and then you hit 3-10. That's pretty much where the game gets going =P

I'm still loving this game. Took a 24 hour break from it and now I'm playing for perfect scores and enjoying it immensely. I've perfect'd 2-5 and 3-3 so far, as well as a few of the first levels and the boss levels.

I can always tell when I'm in love with a new game, when I find myself making coffee at 1:30am when I have work the next day

Yay, I beat a Bit Trip game before Chicken.

By the way, Commander Video dies at the end.

So, I just beat it a few hours ago, and the last level was awesome. Loving the new characters. And the ending made me Oh Snap!, which promises for a spectacular Bit. Trip 5.

Check out my classy comics.

It happened to me because while the bonus stage was starting I was on my feet screaming OH MY GOD I FINALLY DID IT

I really hate the bonus levels. They are terrible developed. First you have to go through a normal level and get all the gold. I you finally managed that. The bonus level starts. You're bound to floogle up at least once. But it won't restart. No, the score will be counted and you go to the next level. So if your hunting for !! and Perfects, you have to quit, go back to the zone you wanted the replay and back to the level. Just terrible.

If it helps mate I was sort of disappointed with the game. I was expecting one of the best games ever and instead I just got an awesome game =D one thing I sort of agree with you on is the lack of skill involved, the game feels skillful at first, but 95% of it is memory and repeating pretty easy timing sequences. I can actually remember each individual challenging sequence in the whole game, they're not all that frequent

Well that explains the leaked title of the 5th game, at least. Bit.Trip: Rotting Corpse

Also, why are so many folks complaining that you can't choose the bonus stages to play outside of the normal levels? Aren't bonus stages typically only accessible after beating a level? I certainly can't recall many games, if any, that allowed me to replay bonus levels to my heart's content without having to play the main game.

Get back in there, make the level your b**** again, and take another shot at the bonus. It's not that tough...one of the best things about Runner demanding perfection is that you're a frickin ace at the level by the time you finally beat it. Going back isn't so tough.

It's not tough but it's annoying trying to master the bonus stages, when you have to play through 90 seconds of something you can do with your eyes closed each time

The reason I have a problem with not a better way to play the bonus levels, is because they aren't bonus levels. Hell, even the Nintendo press release states 50 challenges. So even the developers don't see it as a bonus. And it really isn't, because not completing the bonus level means no !! and no perfect. Bonus stages are supposed to be fun. Like beating up a car in Final Fight or in some of the Mario games where you have to play a mini game to get a power up or extra lives. Or in Adventure-Island for the GB where you choose an egg which gives you points, lives or other stuff. Or in Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose where you can play different mini games to rack up points and lives. Those are bonus levels, nice little diversions that gives you something extra before starting the next level. Not a stripped down boring level like in Runner which you NEED to beat in order to get a !! or Perfect.

And I can almost play the levels with my eyes closed (ok, not really, but that would be nice). It gets really boring and annoying when you want to get to the bonus level and have to work your way through the level again, get to the bonus, miss one gold bar and start all over again. Especially since some levels are freaking long.
