Canabalt Review

Canabalt, a game where you play as a frantic man fleeing the destruction of his city by giant robots. You control him as he hurdles across buildings, leaps over gaps and obstacles, and tries to stay one step ahead of the mayhem.

All that fills your ears is the thunder of the mechanical monstrosities moving through the city at your back. And the cries of civilians trying to escape.


Canabalt handles everything except jumping for you, and all you need to do is tap [X] or [C] at the right moment to cause your hero to vault over obstacles.


 Canabalt is extremely stylish and detailed whilst also staying minimalist, this is a prime example of a simple idea executed extremely well.

Overall i'll give it a well deserved 8/10
