Line Rider is a browser game or software toy, with versions available for Microsoft Silverlight, Javascript, Windows, and Flash. It was originally created in September 2006 by Boštjan Čadež (also known as "fšk"), a Slovenian student.[1][2] Soon after its initial appearance on DeviantArt, Line Rider became an internet phenomenon.
Line Rider received coverage from several outlets, such as Yahoo![3] and Time Magazine,[4] and appeared in several McDonald's commercials for the Snack Wrap in 2008. Line Rider was also selected by staff and voted by Jay is Games users to be the Best Webtoy of 2006.[5] A two-page article about the game was published in Games for Windows: The Official Magazine.[6]
