♥♥♥♥ 3-2 i hate this ♥♥♥♥ u have to do 5 pixel perfect jumps in a row why did you even make this stupid bonus level i hate everything about this single level and it ruined the entire game for me4 found this helpful
[b]The granddaddy of rhythm runners and still hard to beat![/b] Which childhood did I originally play this in? My third, my fourth? I don't know -- I'm on either my sixth or seventh right now. Whenever it was that I [i]Bit.Trip[/i] ran on my Wii before work in the mornings, I remember it felt like falling into intense, no-mind meditation . . . and the game's still the same after all these years! The simple, sharp graphics have an undying appeal for me. Every action or [b]ITEM GET[/b] generating a musical bleat that [i]should[/i] be in time with the soundtrack makes me half-consciously synchronize with the levels in a way that's so, so satisfying when I win . . . so alluring when I've lost by a hair. Of course, the [b]Bonus Get[/b] stages utterly lack music, so you've got to use only your eye. I really wanted to hundred-percent all of these extra [i]inna woods[/i] segments, but each [b]Bonus Get[/b] attempt requires you to first re-beat the main level, perfectly, [i]yet again[/i], and isn't that a little too much? It kind of takes me out of the no-mind state . . . What is Captain Video, anyway? A cylindrical guy in a suit? Or is he [i]one and the same[/i] with the suit…3 found this helpful
