This was a short one. I played Canabalt for a bit but it wasn't the type of game you play for hours upon hours. It is an indie classic in the endless runner genre. The action moves from left to right on the screen as the background constantly scrolls by. Gameplay is fast-paced but simple with only a single jump button to control. I found it enjoyable in small doses. There is something addicting about difficult games with brief playtimes. They keep you coming back to try and top your best score or in this case distance. After one night, however, I've scratched that itch and am ready to move on.
