Canabalt is a one-button sidescrolling platformer game for Android, Flash and iPhone.
Gameplay[]
The player controls a man on the run and the purpose of the game is for the player to get their constantly running man far as they can. The levels are randomly generated and made of the rooftops and hallways of buildings. Players must avoid objects they can trip over, falling machinery which could kill them, crumbling buildings, and must aim carefully to smash through windows into building hallways so as to not fall to their deaths. The player can only jump and is unable to move left and right. The game's speed is ever increasing unless you stumble over boxes. The distance the buildings are apart is dependent on your current running speed, so it will never be impossible to get a jump because you weren't going fast enough.
Trivia[]
- Inspired an almost-genre of clones in Flash and iPhone, including the popular Robot Unicorn Attack.
- Two Commodore 64 ports were made in 2012. The official port, titled C64anabalt , was created by Paul Koller and sold on cartridge by www.rgcd.co.uk. An unofficial port was done by Mr Sid, who also created a C64 port of Prince of Persia.
