User Review: Canabalt

[Zinaxos]

This game, is a browser game and can probably be found on anyone of your favorite gaming websites. This game is titled Canabalt, and is about running and jumping.... Literally. Through the games entirety you run and jump on buildings slowly gaining speed until you are but a blur. When you die, and you will, you will restart the game. There are no levels and the map is ever changing. Each play through will be different.

Canabalt; being hard is still fun to play. It challenges the mind and how fast you can react to what is going on around you. The real only downsides to the game is your ever increasing speed and sudden surprises like robot parts and windows appearing on the right side of your screen. This game is has a catchy sound track but the volume can be turned down so you can enjoy your own music.

The controls are very simple, since all you can do is jump it is an easy button layout. You may use "X", "Z", or the space bar. You can control the height of you jumps, which is key. Controlling your height depends on how much pressure you put on the keys, if you can only hit it really hard, this game is not for you.

This game is fun, hard and offers you the chance to kill a lot of time. I hope you enjoy this game and just in case you cant find it and want to play it here's a link.

I love that game.

My best was 6249.

The idea is to regulate your speed by hitting those boxes.

Stylish and highly addictive. This is the sort of game I would have expected Alt+Escape to cover. Thanks for the review and link!

The game only has one button. How much detail do you need?

You run. You jump. There are windows and robots.

The end.

And that's it!
