This game brings back unpleasant memories of Sonic and the Secret Rings.

Hey, SatSR was a good game! The 'Sonic games suck nowadays' doesn't apply to the spin-off mechanic games!

Eh, I'll admit that it's more enjoyable than many other titles nowadays. But I'm not going to say that it's great. -shrug-
Mainly because for the most part, the only characters are Sonic, a Tails-like guy, and a Knuckles-like guy.

I actually kind of like Mirror's Edge 2D more.

As fun as that game is, the gameplay is pretty much nothing like Canabalt's.
It's kinda like comparing Super Mario Galaxy to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time; both are great games and, in the broadest sense, platformers, but you wouldn't really say they're similar games.

Also Canabalt is obviously superior because it doesn't have a sewer level.

I got just over seven thousand meters last night.
Haven't been paying attention to the thread much though.

I've only been able to break 2000 because I really suck at not smacking into walls and dying.

srs, I keep jumping as soon as I see the wall, which does not work if the hallway is far below

I hate the windows.

Same. I swear they are probably the biggest reason I haven't gotten very far.

My best is somewhere around 2880. Not very good but good enough for me. Still trying to do better though.

UPDATION NATION: actually now I've set a best of... 3134. eh, I thought I did good.

Not as bad as me.

My high score is 800-something.

Seriously, I either jump too high or jump too low, and then I die. And that's when I rage. It's addicting, though, it took me a while to gather up the strength to stop.

This is what I meant when I smacked into walls. I didn't even know they were windows until I broke through one by sheer fluke.

I still haven't been able to get over 3000.

It can actually be a good thing to hit the boxes sometimes, but you might get raped if there is a huge jump directly after it. But I also noticed that sometimes the game glitches and I hit an incredibly short jump, where I can't really do anything to stop me from making out with the wall.

I kept using the boxes to my advantage too. It was fun.
