Bit.Trip Runner is a game in the Bit.Trip series, a series of Rhythm games in which music or sounds play a major part in how the game is played. In Bit.Trip Runner you play as Commander Video, a simplistic character with no obvious goals. You control him as he runs along your screen and you choose the make him jump, kick or activate obstacles to get out of his way. As he does this it produces a specific kind of sound which adds to a constant beat playing throughout. Furthermore picking up gold also gives a specific note. There are also little orange block that when you pick up make the beat a little more complex. In doing this it makes the player feel a little more pumped up. Furthermore the more complex the beat becomes the trail behind Commander Video becomes more intense until it ends up as a rainbow as seen above when you collect all the orange pieces. This makes it feel like the player is contributing to the song being played and i feel gives the satisfaction similar to that of playing a musical instrument.
