Great to read about the success of RedLynx’s Trials HD. Way more of a physics-based puzzle game than an actual racing game, it’s a nifty little diversion I pulled down on XBLA. So yes, I count myself as one of the 300,000 folks who forked over points for it.

Interestingly enough, I had no clue about the game originally.  However, a couple of the RedLynx boys let me share a cab ride over to the party at the Nordic Game Conference a few months back. They filled me in about their latest efforts, and I was hooked.

Doesn’t hurt that the easier levels are simple enough for my 6-year-old son to play (and medal in). Never mind that I’m totally stuck on the last two extreme levels. Grrr…
