Keep up with the twisting track of Linebound's minimalist gauntlet on Android

The rise of the minimalist dodge-'em-up is one of my favourite trends of the past year.

So, yep, Linebound gets my vote on genre alone.

In this one, you control a circle, dodging up and down along a twisting procedurally generated track that's full of hazards. The trick is to keep track of up and down.

If you're mentally comparing it to Pivvot, then you're doing the right thing. Even Pivvot developer Whitaker Trebella has said that Linebound "looks pretty cool", adding that "great minds think alike!"

If you're in the mood for it, Linebound is only 80p on Google Play. It's worth a bash if you're a reaction game junkie.
