Game Review – Canabalt (Browser) – 4 Stars
It’s the pixelpocalypse; and, armed with just a snazzy suit, it’s time to run. There are other simple and addictive games out there, but with only one button, it really doesn’t get any simpler (or more addictive) than this. Created for a game development competition with the theme, ‘minimalism’; Canabalt succeeds where ‘Jumper’ failed, and draws you into a story without revealing any background plot details. You’ll never know whether you’re an undercover agent in a secret resistance, or whether you’re simply a guy who wants to get home from work. All you know, is that you need to run.
