    Bit.Trip creators Gaijin Games is poised to make its first foray as a self-published developer in the downloads space. Its first game, according to a blog post on studio's official website, will be a collaboration with App Store-developer Different Cloth and 16-bit Music to bring their iPhone title Lilt Line to WiiWare.

    Lilt Line is like what I imagined would happen if Guitar Hero married PC classic Snake and then had a special kid named "Lilt Line." It's a music-based joint that puts you behind the wheel of a simple, unimaginative white line across a series of fractal mazes brimming with psychedelics that rumble and strobe alongside fast and eclectic electronic beats. 

    The goal is to steer the line through each maze, all the while using the handheld's tilt functionality to maneuver and its touch capabilities to slip through white hot barriers that appear in sync with the current level's music. All in all, it's a basic game that should translate well to the Wii's unusual inputs.

    == TEASER =="Lilt Line has been a labor of love for us over here at Gaijin Games," Gaijin Games' Alex Neuse wrote on the studio's blog. "The original version was created by differentcloth for the iPhone, and the moment I saw it, I fell in love with the game."

    "I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of rhythm/music gameplay, and when I contacted the fine folks behind the original, we realized just how awesome it would be to work on something together. In short, we hit it off." 
     


    The official Lilt Line website mentions that the game will ship with a total of 15 levels, which just so happens to be the exact amount available on the $2.99 iPhone version of the game. No release date is being listed, but an official trailer is available for your viewing pleasure.

    iPhone doesn't deserve developers like them.

    I think I'll get a look at the trailer to see it in motion, or else the first screenshot from the lower three will summarize my thoughts on this game :O

    This music deserves a better game. 
     
    Suggested change list: 
    * Color the beat markers so you know wether you're matching a kick or a snare or a hihat. Or whatever really: Just randomly picking a soundtrack element you're supposed to tap on doesn't aid the rhythm action at all, it's just confusing. TBH the game on the iPhone in its current state is borderline unplayable on later levels.
    * Contextualize the levels. As it is the only thing to do with the sound is the beat markers. Everything else is just noise. 
     
    But yeah, the music is great.

    Way too many capitals in the article title to make sense of anything.

    Seems interesting. Super abstract in the visual department, but interesting. Wonder if it'll be as hard as the Bit.Trip games are.

    Hmmm.... I don't like the concept of the music & move something in screen. Just put some big trance sound and you get all points you need.
