CANABALT - Probably the coolest browser game I've played...

Post by Flak Beard »

I usually shrug off these Flash based browser games when they get sent my way, but this one is pretty damn cool. Daring roof top escapes are always a great time. :D

Pretty good but I didn't like the randomness of it. It seems like something that would be much better with one big well designed level. There were some points where it just seemed like there was no way to get by without having memorized what was about to happen.

Saw it earlier on TIGSource. Really good game. I only got to 3800m, though.

Only made it about 2000m or so. I liked it for the most part, but the randomness did throw me off at first. Truthfully, after a little while I noticed that one thing killed me predominantly, and that was having to jump into a window. I would die at other things from time to time, but 9 times out of 10, it was because I had to jump through a window. And at least once it was presented at an angle that I really don't know how I was supposed to make. Oh well, nifty idea, nice background effects, and good music for a flash game.

I got to 5200m.

Well, the game kinda reminds me of Mirror's Edge 2D, another good flash game: http://www.mirrorsedge2d.com/
