The Line Continues
The Line Continues is one of those strange games that you really must play for yourself to understand. I suspect only half the people reading this review will have an accurate mental picture of this game by the time my review is done. Surprisingly, the developer is Italian, not Japanese, but the game's still weird enough anyways. First, I must explain the graphics, or you will never be able to imagine what the game's actually like. Everything in the game is made up of curvy green lines, and the game is very stylized. Everything in the world is constantly morphing. The graphics are very good and very creative. In The Line Continues, you play as a little dude made of circles and...something coming out of his head. You walk continuously on a never-ending, green line, avoiding many obstacles and enemies. The line slowly deteriorates, so you can't stay in the same place for too long. The enemies will instantly form out of the line, and will try to trap you, kill you, or swallow you. You can either turn into a flying blob (for a short period of time) and jump over the enemy, "flatten" the line by pulling on it, or stand on the bottom of the line until the enemy passes. Some abilities work better on a certain enemy than on others. As you progress further through the game, you can get special abilities, like a nuke that violently shakes the line and destroys all enemies on it. The music is ripped from another strange game, Vib Ribbon. Some of the music is ok, but other music is simply maddening, and all of it's sung in a high voice. This game is the epitomy of abstract! So, since I can't paint an elaborate picture of the game's structure, I might as well tell you how fun the game is. The Line Continues is very well-crafted. It's fun and addictive, and irresistably unique! No, it's not the best game ever, but it's definitely very good. Worth the download, to be sure.
