That was my thought, $30 for a game in this genre seems quite a bit too expensive. Granted, this game probably doesn't have the tons of addons that the free to play games do, but I can't imagine there being enough gameplay to justify the price.

Does look awfully nice though.

The jumpy animation of the gold bars in the trailer is weird. It makes it look like the game has trouble keeping up its framerate, but that's obviously not it since everything else moves smoothly. I don't know why the developers would choose to make them stutter that way. It seems like it would hurt the flow of the game, and I think it would drive me nuts when playing!

1) Why its just Runner 3, not Bit.trip? Because Bit.Trip is no more, as Gaijin (developer of previous games) is disbanded. Runner 3 is made by team which is mostly consists of same peoples which was in Gaijin, however.
2) What about Linux? "No plans for a Linux version at this point but if there proves to be enough demand for it we're happy to reconsider!"
3) Price is skyrocketed. Nuff said.

Just a PSA for those thinking it is an infinite runner. Well if the first two runner games are anything to go by that's far from the case.

The previous two games were more rhythm'ish games. Kinda like what Vib Ribbon looked like on the PlayStation.
Run along, jump gaps, duck or block incoming projectiles, kick walls. And in Runner 2 you could dance in downtime for extra points.

Auto-running because the levels are tuned to keep a tune going. Every pickup, every dodge or other action produces a sound complementing the background rhythm. If you want to time your actions, the sound is the best thing to time it with.

The trailer looks like the background is less likely to bob along to the rhythm this time around, making the gold bars seem out of place.

In all, it looks interesting. Not sure if it's $30 - review unseen interesting. But the announcement made me pick Runner 2 back up and try to finish all the levels on hard.
