What is Canabalt?

The game transports players to a retro-inspired world where the objective is to navigate a protagonist through a continuously unfolding and challenging landscape. The character automatically sprints forward, and the player must make split-second decisions to guide them through a variety of obstacles and hazards by tapping the screen to perform actions like jumping, vaulting, and grabbing onto ledges. The simple, yet addictive gameplay is complemented by a striking pixel art aesthetic that evokes the nostalgic charm of classic 8-bit and 16-bit era video games. With an endless, procedurally generated level design, Canabalt offers a thrilling and replayable experience that tests the player's reflexes and adaptability as they attempt to achieve the highest possible score
