  • AjaxDiggz, on 10/10/2009, -1/+39***** driving traffic to this guy's site, send everyone to the original site ONLY. His commentary doesn't add anything to the gameplay and it reeks of SEO spam. Quit ***** listing these sites. Original site here: http://www.adamatomic.com/canabalt/
  • glberns, on 10/10/2009, -3/+21How about from over a month ago? http://digg.com/playable_web_games/Canabalt
  • zephc, on 10/10/2009, -0/+16I'd say also don't be afraid to run into obstacles (the chairs and containers) every now and then to slow yourself down if it gets too fast
  • wrzhydr, on 10/10/2009, -0/+14I like how the first time, I got 2200m, then the next 2 times I couldn't even get past 500m. I'm retiring from gaming.
  • DaviDTC, on 10/10/2009, -1/+13But that isn't from a poweruser.
  • L0NER, on 10/09/2009, -0/+11It seems the trick is to stare at the right of the screen.
    (3300 m is my best)
  • L0NER, on 10/09/2009, -1/+11Damn,
    Logged on to check my email, and i stubble onto this.

    Good bye afternoon
  • inactive, on 10/10/2009, -0/+8the secret is fondling yourself before you play
  • dwaxe, on 10/10/2009, -1/+7The simplest games are often the most addictive.

    Ipso Facto.
  • cheapo17, on 10/09/2009, -3/+7haha cool
  • meheartrobot, on 10/10/2009, -0/+3There's an iPhone version.
  • DriftoCookie, on 10/10/2009, -0/+2@Wade Ooooh yeah, my heart was pounding, I kept telling myself "Don't look at the distance, don't look at the distance, don't look at the distance!"... I looked at the distance lol. And yeah my friends were having a little competition to get the highest with screenshots too, but I think they gave up after they saw my score...

    @YumYumTruck Yup, you can see their progress here http://nicalis.com/blog/ It's in its last stages of development and is due to be released soon-ish (I hope). They've completely redone all the artwork and soundtracks and added original content for this port, but you can always switch it back over to the classic graphics and music if you wish.
  • vizerei, on 10/10/2009, -1/+3Normally I only stumble on to your mom.
  • Wade, on 10/10/2009, -0/+2@DriftoCookie The buildings you have to smash through are the worst, and for the most part it seems like luck, but when you started getting in the 5-digit range did your heart begin to accelerate as you pushed yourself further and further?
    I played against someone whose high-score is 16914 (exact score from screenshot, that's how we kept records) and I haven't been able to beat that, but that was from playing the game hundreds of times within the first week of finding it. The best way to get a high score is to play against somebody else, give yourself a score to beat (and if you can't beat it, give up like I did).
  • mattcoady, on 10/11/2009, -0/+2Just got it for iPhone about a week ago. With a portable version I can play while running across the roof tops of falling buildings, just like the game.
  • firesights, on 10/10/2009, -1/+3Wish they had this for cell phones. This is tailor made to be a perfect mobile game.
  • ToadBoy, on 10/10/2009, -0/+1Didn't work.
  • shamesh, on 10/10/2009, -0/+1Why do you stumble?
  • chaoticdaniel, on 10/10/2009, -0/+1Normally I stumble onto things
  • DaviDTC, on 10/10/2009, -1/+2http://www.kongregate.com/games/AdamAtomic/canabal ...
  • DriftoCookie, on 10/10/2009, -0/+1Exactly. I got 11km using this trick. My rule is 1/building, any more than that and it slows you down too much to, say, dodge bombs.

    Pixel art = awesome, so simple yet so well done. The creator also worked on the Cave Story WiiWare port. Really looking forward to that after playing this.
  • pustulio, on 10/10/2009, -0/+1I beat it.
  • tehknotte, on 10/25/2009, -0/+1no one cares about your obscenities. go away.
  • garapanman, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1Theres a trojan horse on this site just to let you guys know.
  • BongWaterSmells, on 10/11/2009, -0/+1Trick is to purposely bump into objects to slow you down when it goes too fast
  • Spoomeister, on 10/25/2009, -0/+1That's more fun than it should be.
  • ezzalgames, on 10/12/2009, -0/+1Nice game
  • HitmanJustin, on 10/11/2009, -0/+1Love the game, played it awhile ago, just so awesome, the robot takeover in the background is a nice feature
  • Dustin00, on 10/11/2009, -0/+1I don't get it.

    Where are the turtles?

    And my mushrooms? How can you have a jumping game without getting bigger?

    Cool music, though.
  • YumYumTruck, on 10/10/2009, -0/+0@DriftoCookie

    They made a wiiware port for Cave Story?

    and I still can't get passed the stupid sacred grounds?
  • TheBossDupre, on 10/12/2009, -0/+0It seems that digg is always about a week late when it comes to newgrounds... did anyone else get to the boss?
  • Dr3w, on 10/10/2009, -1/+1Sick track. Makes this simple game pretty epic if you get going a good distance.
  • DoodleMaster, on 10/10/2009, -3/+3*obligatory kongregate.com plug*
  • BubonicLouie, on 10/11/2009, -0/+0The end boss is incredible.
  • KingBroseph, on 10/10/2009, -3/+1This is a really co App!
  • anumv4ever, on 10/10/2009, -3/+1yes i like it how it dine
