Line Rider on Silverlight

It's funny (almost a little spooky) that only last week I was talking to MikeT about Line Rider and whether we'd ever see a Silverlight version. Then lo and behold I get an email today pointing me to the new Line Rider site in Silverlight 2.

Line Rider is a deceptively simple "game" - draw a line then let loose a little bloke on a sledge to ride it for you. And it's not easy - he falls off and crashes that sledge at any opportunity. This is about the level of sophistication I can muster...

But for others it has become what must be almost an obsession. There are videos galore on sharing sites like You Tube and Soapbox...

The Silverlight version has some nice features such as being able to record a movie of your ride and save it online as well as integration with Live Messenger to share tracks with friends etc.

Okay, so it'll probably entertain you for a few minutes (longer if you have kids) but the videos of what others have done with Line Rider are just jaw-dropping.
