I usually don't make posts expressing my deep and utmost love for a computer game, but I have to make sure you at least try this game once.

Originally it was the final project for a student, but it has quickly become the most played "toy" physics simulator in quite some time.

To sum things up, you draw a line which translates into a track for the little dude on a sled. It's run by a physics engine so every bump, and every lift will take its toll on the poor sledder.

There is no end to the game, and you can make the track as long as you want. But, the key is to keep your sledder ON his sled.

It's playable online ( http://www.linerider.com ) or you can download it from http://www.downloads.com

Later.

It's fun, but not addicting.

Well it's more fun if you attempt some different stunts rather than the bland "down the hill, then up a ramp..." routine.

Was good for 5 minutes or so. Got a bit repetitive then, even by attempting tricks.

I can't really think of any other tricks then like a loop....which I session very easily over and over.

sometimes the guy goes through my lines and when he goes backwards, the lines affect him...how do I do that intentionally?

That video was awesome! What really made it was the Mission: Impossible theme. Sweet! I'm watching it again!
