Flash in the Brainpan: Canabalt

[RSS FEED]

War of the Worlds meets Run Lola Run in Canabalt, a high-speed side-scroller in which your guy has to leap from rooftop to rooftop to avoid the rampaging robot aliens. You can't stop or even slow down, but you do possess superhuman leaping powers, so you got that going for you. Semi-pro-tips: the board seems to change from game to game, so don't bother trying to memorize the jumps. If you're headed for a solid wall, aim for a window. Oh, and the romping stomping aliens make the whole screen shudder and shake, with delightful effects on your eyes. I'm still seeing funny.

As seen on Things That Entertain Proctor.
