Line Rider 2: Unbound

About

Line Rider 2: Unbound is a sequel that lets you draw custom tracks with a digital pencil tool. Build ramps, loops, hills, and checkpoints then watch a sledder tackle your creation. The focus is on trial and error physics as you tweak slopes for optimal speed and momentum. Split-screen mode adds local multiplayer for up to four players on compatible systems. The game stands out for its simple yet deep physics engine which became a hit for user-generated content. While the 2008 release predates modern physics puzzle games it still holds up for its flexibility and charm. Players often revisit the DS and Wii versions for the tactile drawing experience. inXile's early work here contrasts with their later CRPGs showing their versatility in design.
