Runner is out in Europe ! About it (spoilers, obviously) :
It's 800 points instead of 600, but I believe the game has more replay value. I went through the first zone (there are three of them, as usual), which is cut into 11 individual sublevels and what I believe is one boss (I'm at level 1 - 11). You can play back any sublevel you've completed.
In every level, there is a number of gold bars to collect. I managed to catch all of them for now, but it's getting tougher. When you finish a sublevel (each one lasts less than a few minutes), you access to a bonus level with pitfall graphics where you have to collect as much gold as possible before making a mistake (touching a wall or an obstacle, falling) - they're pretty hard, I never completed one (not even close) and I'm not sure you're meant to grab all the gold bars.
Also, you can jump and dodge, but also kick and use springs - that's four different commands, and the game is already giving me tricky obstacles (red bouncing ball = jump, purple bouncing ball = dodge). I'm expecting traditional bit.trip difficulty here.
