Bit.Trip Presents... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien vs Sound Shapes
Side-by-side comparison of features, pricing, ratings, and alternatives.

Runner2 continues the award‑winning BIT.TRIP series with fast‑paced, music‑driven platforming. Players dash through colorful environments, using jumps, slides, kicks and soaring moves to stay in sync with the beat while hunting the mischievous Timbletot. The game blends fantasy and sci‑fi aesthetics, offering a single‑player experience across multiple platforms. With new moves, fresh soundtracks, and a quirky storyline, it delivers a rhythmic challenge for both casual and hardcore gamers.
Sound Shapes blends classic 2D platforming with a music creation engine, letting every jump, slide and bounce add to the soundtrack. The campaign features artwork from Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers and more, with tracks by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. Beyond the story, players can build their own musical levels using all campaign assets, then publish them for the community to explore. The result is a living, ever‑changing musical world that can be enjoyed at home or on the go.
