The Game
Maybe you’ve seen it, maybe you haven’t, either way this new flash-based game from Adam Saltsman and Eric Johnson of Semi Secret Software is the definition of addicting. It makes me reminisce over the days of 8-bit graphics on my Nintendo.
Tips and Tricks
Tap quickly for a short, low jump; tap and hold for a long, high one.
Leap early, land early! This gives you more time to deal with obstacles and plan your next jump.
You blink. You die.
You can read the rest of tips and tricks over on the canabalting website.

Here are a few quick screen shots from the game.
In Review
My best performance to date is 4284 meters. Not to bad considering I just started playing last week. But I won’t stop until I reach over 10,000 meters. Even then I think I’ll still be hooked. But who can blame me? So if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you can buy canabalt for $2.99, or if you’re iPhoneless like me, you can just sit in front of your computer for hours on end clicking the night away.
Now stop reading and GO PLAY CANABALT!
I bought Canabalt about 3 weeks ago and must agree that it’s an incredibly addicting game. I got all the way to 8100 meters once, but haven’t even been close since. Love the 8-bit feel!
(Those pesky rockets are hard to jump over in time! It happens so fast! haha..)
This looks awesome! Definitely gonna download this for the iPhone later. I’m a bit of a retro gamer, got a NES and Megadrive (Genesis) so this is right up my street
Thanks for the heads up Kyle!

I used to play a game like this in my imagination when I was little. The whole family would be in the car and if I had a window seat I’d play. The grass was the “safe” parts, good times…
I just bought the App, we’ll see how it goes… I’m betting with all my experience I’m going to dominate! LOL
I’m betting with all my knowledge, you DON’T dominate.
man the game look really cool, but i don’t have iphone for that,
i love shift, you should play it and it just a simple flash game but very
addicted.
