After being sent to the deepest circles of hell to work on Bubsy and some League of Legends spinoff, Choice Priovisions returns with the definitive way to play one of my favorite auto-runners. Everything RERUNNER does is an upgrade over the original.

- The new levels are WAY better in terms of design. They feel way less cheap then the original RUNNER levels.
- CommanderVideo himself feels more like his Runner2 counterpart, which means that he no longer feels like a laggy brick.
- Stemage's new remixes (especially the boss theme) stand toe-to-toe with the originals.
- Some cut mechanics from the original RUNNER return and they feel like such a natural addition to CV's moveset.

And if that wasn't enough, there are levels with songs from BEAT, CORE, VOID, RUNNER (the original, including it's retro challenges), FATE, FLUX, Runner2 AND Runner3. THAT'S 140 LEVELS. Not all of them are winners of course, but like, that's insane!

And of course how could i not mention the star of the show: RUNNER MAKER. A childhood dream, now on the palm of my hands. It's very fun to use, but i can't see myself making levels. I'm not exactly good at that, but i've played some online levels and they're (mostly) good!

An excellent package overall and what i believe to be the BIT.TRIP series' swansong. Can't wait to see what Choice Provisions is cooking next.
