Created in 5 days by indie game developer Atomic Adam for the Experimental Gameplay Project, Canabalt is a fantastic running and jumping side scroller that uses a mere 6 colours to display everything. You play a well-dressed man who can’t stop running, leaping from one building to another, avoiding robots, spaceships, and other obstacles as you race along. Your mission – survive for as long as you can.

The levels are randomly generated and get faster as you progress. The music complements the gameplay and was created by composer Danny B.

It’s top-notch, addictive, and only requires the use of one button. Play Canabalt at adamatomic.com. I lasted 2088 metres before hitting a fokken wall. Let us know how you fared.
