Top 10 Line Rider Tracks of 2017 

Line Rider Review ive never heard two people sound so pretentious as you. Youre critiquing them based on the music playing in the background and the "story" behind them. Youre everything wrong with modern art!

dylan bear ye but like who cares. unlike most modern art the items in these reviews take an incredibly large amount of time and effort to create, which in my opinion puts this on a pedastol high above anything else that doesn't require the same characteristics. that means to me that critique and bespoke terminoligy is completely justified.

raffen theyre reviewing the wrong thing

dylan bear what else would they be reviewing? they're reviewing something they're both clearly very passionate abouts and interested in. why throw that out the window just because it's a niche art form?

raffen they're meant to be reviewing the tracks, not the "story", not the music, the track! and using pretentious words in your critique doesnt make you float above us it just made them look out of touch

Trex79 Same, he just made and uploaded another video, I came to this video from him.

Trex79 Same here

hva så bones?

Same

If you think tahts good check out his newer ones set to Allen Walker's fade and the fatrats monody

its even better while a couple tabs deep

thank you!

For me it's incredibly nostalgic to see what has happened - and to see the same names that I used to see on linerider.org as a 12 year old with 2,000 posts. omegalul

Your doing something amazingly great with your life

@HaoYuan Gao and why is that offencive?

Yeah. I agree. This is cringy.

He's working on a new one I hear!

TBH I want to see more of his Rube Goldberg machines as well. I mean, that's why I subscribed to him about 5 years ago. I'm just glad he introduced me to both communities!

I think it's out, right?

Yep it came out! "Fade"

And he made a marble run synced to music. Glad to see he's doing at least screenlinked RGMs with LR!

Surf from pokemon gen 3, i love that you used that song

It was really good!

thx :)

When you made it did you intend it to be interpreted the same as how this guy explained it? Or did you just make it for fun and he looked into it to deep

jweber544 / Hanuman think you could do more pokemon themes? id like to take a trip down nostalgia lane again. possibly using the original gen 3 opening theme?

Thanks!

Aoife McAndless-Davis rabid squirrel got props from the creator of the game for "this will destroy you." thats not something that happens every drawing. IMHO it is rightfully no. 1.

[GK] Min3rl3g4nd Gaming 悪いチャンネル Yep, pretty obvious choice when you've seen Twdy

Liar

it's coming!

Endscreen music? Noveau Life - Start Life

Hey, as long as you're having fun and making things you like, that's what matters! (Most of the creators of the tracks featured here have been making things in Line Rider for many years)

They're listed at the end of the Dangerous Cargo video, there are three different songs used off the album Splendor and Misery by Clipping.

Yeah, it was on our list and we loved the transitions between the sections and the ending animations, but we had mixed feelings about the work as a whole. There's a livestream off-the-cuff review of it elsewhere on this channel if you want to check it out!

Thanks, though not surprised. Their idea of what makes a good track is completely different on what I think makes a good track. As a result, seeing their own tracks in this top 10 list doesn't surprise me as they have similar aesthetics on what's good and will be naturally biassed towards each others tracks as a result whether they realize it or not. Personally, I think 'This will destroy you is incredibly boring to watch as a whole. Yes it has some very creative sections in it, but the pacing, lack of technical skill required to make a similar track, and the long length of it make it hard for me to sit through it. In that review of my track, they downplayed it a lot due to a lot of the earlier parts of my track being too similar to some old track I've never heard of. Case in point, having 2 manualers with great artistic ability will almost always prefer more manual based tracks, with or without scenery over more quirk based tracks which would tend to have more abstract style scenery, if any at all.

Hey, thank you :)

What was the ad for? Keep hearing about it, wondering if I could find it online somewhere

We are separate people, so we attempted to place and critique each other's tracks. If you disagree with our choices, please tell us how, and/or which tracks you would have put on this list instead!

Line Rider Review They were cool tracks, I won't argue that. But it looks like you're patting yourselves on the back by adding your own tracks into a Top 10 video. I'm just saying, self congratulating isn't cool.

Line Rider Review Regardless of the fact that you're two separate people, this is one youtube channel that you both work together on. Also, if you're going to put yourselves in your own video, at least try to appear humble by putting yourselves near the bottom. You guys were #1, 3, and 4. I'll give you #6 as there was multiple people involved.

Yusuf Wilcox Sorry, didn't see this gem until OTDE replied. I've seen the tracks, and like I said, they're good tracks. But clearly the point of my comment went right over your head. But that's okay though, everyone has their strengths, yours just isn't paying attention. I have nothing to be insecure about, I don't make tracks. I don't have the time for that.

Re-enlist Today! No you told them to put themselves at the bottom of the top ten cos they made the video... That undermines the point of making an objective list.

Your answer should be here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iCD9jtwTV44.htmlm7s (this is 2:07 in the video, there are several songs)

It's the album Splendor and Misery by clipping

That's just the newest build of Line Rider

thank you so much! I'd love to see what you wrote if you want to share it.

@@rabidsquirrel117 i left it as a comment under the original video, im not sure how much of it i still agree with but here it is: I view part two as a visualization of a person at the end of their life. Each chord up and down can be seen as the heartbeat, or lifeline of this person. The line itself can be represented as the flow of consciousness. At the start, the music and the lines are pure and freeflowing. Each chord of the song moves the line up and down on cue, allowing life to be sustained. The line is smooth and uninterupted, proving cognizance of this person. Health deterioration is inevitable just like time. We see this happen with the first bits of distortion in the music, so subsequently the lines become slightly jagged and jarring. As time goes on the distortion becomes stronger and more frequent. Heartbeats feel much more insignificant. Halfway through, the first fragmentations in the music occur, putting small but considerable spaces in the stream of consciousness. White noise builds up gradually, eventually overpowering the music. Line spacing increases dramatically. The line points up to heaven. The peak of each chord is now completely insignificant, being overwhelmed by the white noise and distortion. More than half of the stream of consciousness is gone. The heartbeat stops. They are not dead. They cling onto any remnants of the original music they can to stay conscious. It's all in vain. It seems like the line is going to disappear entirely. This is the final moment of their life. The final sound from the original song plays. The line straightens out and returns to having no spaces. They've entered the afterlife. The white noise is isolated. White noise is now the music. Chords become the distortion. They don’t move the line angle up or down anymore, they are only memories. They begin to fade away. The line becomes straighter and straighter until the song ends. This person will forever exist on their straight line through time. No reference point for sadness; no reference point for happiness. Existence, but only as a line.

It’s free online

OpalRiderLR eveeytime that track comes up on my recommendations or is played via auto play I find it hard not to watch tbh. Initially I felt a bit like what u are saying but once I started watching that hr flew by.

I watched the full 50 minutes once

That's both impressive and surprising. GG man.

it actually gets really cool at the end

OpalRiderLR we get it, you don't like music visualization of post-rock :P

Working on it, find it here in the meantime twitter.com/baharv89/status/1159200791774650369

It's BACK UP! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qasxqKScOfY.html twitter.com/baharv89/status/1179074368376197120

That's awesome!

Haha, thanks to you i've listened to all sorts from This Will Destroy You to Slint, Tortoise, Moonlit Sailor, Russian Circles, If These Trees Could Talk, God Is An Astronaut, maybeshewill etc, and moved towards blackgaze artists such as Astronoid, Alcest, and Les Discrets,

Aric Fowler check out An Autumn For Crippled Children if you havent already

Blarg Kliggle Yes their is a playlist in the description

Sorry .-.

rabid here - in retrospect, my biggest regret with this series is not including it in this video tbh

@@LineRiderReview oh, don't worry ;) The series was still in it's starting phase

sadly he hasn't released anything since like 2009

@@LineRiderReview and still holds the record!

none of these were made in the old flash builds, linerider dot com for example uses HTML5

That's perfectly valid but I would advise giving acknowledgement to the creators of your entertainment and you may find value in the reasons why they made them/the emotions behind them. I'm not saying that you have to care or that every piece is a masterwork for the ages, but just consider the creators that put in the work.

Alastair Hadlow not only that...i have scrolled thru several comments and the creator of this video (or creators, to be correct) has very patiently noted that there is a link in the description to a seperate video with the same content, but no narration. he said it in the video also. no one has the right to tell him to hush or stfu when he obviously made it so you didnt have to hear him talk if you didnt want to. i on the other hand greatly appreciate the commentary. the only 2 of these i had seen were surf and this will destroy you. the others are to be watched soon.

wow

It's in #2, Dangerous Cargo by OTDE. It's in a brief moment during the static section.

Like we said in the intro, you can watch them without commentary here: ru-vid.com/group/PLajc0ezIvCanXw3vXGdnVQqDTj-1WWGA2
