Vector Unit announces new game Shine Runner, available now

Shine Runner

Vector Unit, the folks behind Riptide GP (one of the best games for Android ever), has let us know that a new title — Shine Runner — will be available tomorrow in the Android Market.  Imagine the same type of amazing physics and graphics used for futuristic Jet-Skis in Riptide GP, but imported into a moonshine runners airboat deep in the southern swamps, complete with gators, shacks, stumps, and revenuers.  The game’s goal is to maximize your score over a ten day period of smuggling through rivers and bayous, while keeping a step ahead of Johnny Law.  But I think I’m going to end up with the same mindset as Ralf Knoesel, Vector Unit’s Technical Director, who says:

Our theme for this game is simple.  Two words: ’Redneck Chaos.’ Yes, there’s strategy to the trading meta-game, but personally I just love smashing alligators into chicken coops, punting cops off the tops of levies… I’ve been working on Shine Runner for months now and I still laugh when I’m playing.

You had me at redneck chaos, Ralf.  Hit the jump to see a few more screenshots and a gameplay trailer, then join me as we all wait patiently for tomorrow.

    This looks great! I still can’t believe you can get graphics as good as here on a mobile phone. Looks more like PCs from 8-10 years ago. ‘Redneck chaos’ got me too, reminds me a bit of some other ‘redneck-related titles’ – like Deer Avenger, Redneck Rampage or Big Mutha Truckers. Pretty unexploited theme, especially for mobile games. And being a bootlegger always sounds fun to me : )

    The graphics and game play for Mobil devices are becoming insane. Especially with dual and quad core phones and tablets coming out. I will be doing game reviews for all the tablets I own so stay tuned guys. Also grab those apps for a dime! Worth every penny.

    Fast paced racing game, but each track is short. Time limit is short, cops and other boats have little impact on race. Limited replay ability.

    I agree with you 100% Shine! I think this dev for this game is in it for the long haul though. If anyone is in to gaming on their Android phone or tablet check out the “onlive” app in the market place. All I can say is wow! I’ll be doing a review this week.
