“With its new art style, fantastic music, and gameplay innovations, Runner 2 will make your brain glands SWEAT BLOOD!” Alex Neuse said, also via his Twitter feed.

Inspired by the BIT.TRIP series originally released on Nintendo platforms, CommanderVideo makes his debut in an all-new re-imagined downloadable game with a ton of features that we hope even CommanderVideo and CommandgirlVideo can handle:
- HD Graphics
- 10+ new abilities for CommanderVideo (and other playable characters)
- Achievements/trophies/
leaderboards - Unlockable costumes
- Difficulty modes and checkpoints
- …and LOTS more to be revealed later!
