About BIT.TRIP RERUNNER
BIT.TRIP RERUNNER + RUNNER MAKER revives the classic rhythm‑platformer with fresh mechanics, a trippy Unreal 5 visual style, and a fully remixed soundtrack. The game bundles every track from the BIT.TRIP series, offering eight distinct musical backdrops while you dash through obstacle‑filled stages.
Beyond the core single‑player experience, the included RUNNER MAKER lets players design, adjust, and share custom levels. A Historical Gallery showcases artifacts that reference the original titles, giving fans a nostalgic touchpoint as they explore the new rhythm adventure.
01 / THE GUIDE
Rhythm Gameplay
Players navigate a runner that moves automatically while timing jumps and slides to the beat of each song. Levels are built around the music, with obstacles placed to match the rhythm, creating a sync between movement and soundtrack.
Each of the eight soundtracks comes from a different BIT.TRIP title, so the musical style changes as you progress. The difficulty rises across the 150+ levels, demanding tighter timing and more precise inputs.
- Listen to the beat before a new level to anticipate obstacle patterns.
- Start with tracks from earlier BIT.TRIP games to ease into the rhythm.
