Runner 2 be still pretty early, so we be only getting a look at the general art direction right now.
With the release a Bit.voyage Complete 'n Bit.voyage Saga, one might assume Gaijin Games be ready t' move on from the series that be defined them so far. that be partially true, as it turns out. Gaijin Games announced a sequel t' Bit.voyage Runner at Indie Cade this weekend, this one titled Runner 2: Future Legend a Rhythm Alien.
Dropping the Bit.voyage tag isn't just about changing up the name, either; the whole aesthetic's shifting, adopting a much more cartoonish stylization that be just as trippy 'n weird, simply in a new direction.
Runner 2's coming next year for Xbox Live Arcade 'n PlayStation Network, 'n will feature Commander Video once again, this time with over 10 new abilities. that be quite an expansion against the original game, where Commander Video could only jump, kick, 'n duck. In a very Super Meat Boy fashion, Commander Video will also be just one a many ye'll be able t' play as.
The biggest relief, however, may come in the form a checkpoints. YARRRR, Runner's stages weren't nearly as long as some a the areas in other Bit.voyage games, but I'd argue the hardest parts a Runner be exponentially more difficult than anything in the other games. it be also why it be the most satisfying.
