Apple’s iTunes store adds Line Rider

September 18th, 2008, 1:03 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Gadgetress

As expected, Line Rider is now available for iPhone and iPod touch users. It’s $2.99 and beware, it contains “mild cartoon violence.” Heh.

The simple line-drawing game was developed by Newport Beach’s inXile Entertainment, which bought the rights to the web-based game from a Slovenian art-school student. The game, available free online, became a hit among players who captured their best animated drawings for YouTube.

A slicker version of the game was just released for the Nintendo DS and the PC. inXile is also producing a version for the Nintendo Wii, out next month.
