:) great read. ..It is a game with one button for control. Where the jump is variable in height, which then again varies in length depending on speed. While the animation for the jump and the roll depends on those variables. So as a simplistic running game, that can be played on the holy iPhone and so on - it's a pretty good game. It reminds me of the rolling intro-sequences to the first games that started using simple shifting layers for projecting movement in some direction or other. So even though it lasts.. ten minutes.. it's a brilliant piece of work for what it is.

I always thought of Canabalt as a mere distraction, I never figured people had such high praises for the game. o__o

"One problem with the water/desert analogy is that "desert" implies we live in a dry age... but we're actually surrounded by an ocean of awesome stuff on every console."

Embarrassing, and that's putting it mildy.

I too find INTERMITTENTLY TYPING IN ALL CAPS to produce a superior QUALITY OF WRITING. Excellent point, CHUM. |

The gaming world needs more people denouncing Canabalt, not less.

Oh, how edgy! You're linking to someone else's article and using that as your entire argument. That never got tiresome at GameFAQs.

I enjoyed Canabalt, but I agree with you that it's not a good game. "Distraction" better describes what it accomplishes. This was an insightful, thoughtful review. Thank you.
Look, the only time I'm not wrong is when I'm right, so... |
