yeah, a game that is so simple that all you do is jump should jump 100% of the time I press the button. Yet this game does not. The idea that you have to jump early enough to successfully land into a small window (pardon the pun) makes the game frustratingly challenging, not fun challenging. 1/5

Seriously, when you press Jump, It doesn't matter you choose C, X or Spacebar becaseu that crazy man will not trust you and choose not to jump.

True, it's actually super rigged and it's solely based onto luck. It took me over 100 tries (or more) to get the medium badge and the only tips I can give are: follow Aaants's comment from 2010 (it's the 3rd comment in BEST list) and pray to not get windows (or if you do, pray that they aren't low range ones that are impossible to pass).

Ok, that's it. In these days I've played a lot of pixel and 5 minutes games, and the majority share the same negative aspect. RNG bullshit. You can have feline reflexes, be a gamer master, but guess what? RNG says nope. And you waste time playing the game. Some people like it, some don't as in everything. But whenever I see a badge associated to RNG, it's an insta 1 star for the game. And this game is one of them. You can never bump into anything and jump in frame perfect spots, but guess what? A window placed far above or below you, or a bomb falling on a short platform so that you cannot avoid death.
Games should be about skill, not on how lucky is your run!

"I ran 4568m before hitting a wall and tumbling to my death in Canabalt" Yeah looks like a nice thing to tweet without much context

@BloodyThistle This interesting object you speak of is most likely a colossal spaceship/warship that appears at 5k and vanishes when you reach 10k. Apparently, it's the first and only change to the background we will be seeing.

@JeremyS1708 Either it's a quirk with whatever you're running this on, or you are in desperate need of an upgrade.
@performance7777 It's more like Vector's *inspiration*. It predates Vector by a long shot.

Got 3085 in one run, I wonder how long the game is, perhaps infinite like busted breaks and epic coaster? I know there is an achievement for 5,000 so the game must be at least that long.

just see what Aaants said ^ use the obstacles to keep the pace slow :) platforms will always be reachable at your current speed (unless you hit an obstacle very near/right before the jump). very doable hard badge! just be patient :)

How big is this city? Does it just go on infinitely? Seems like it was a huge project to build, and now they are tearing it all down, which will take just as long, since it is infinitely big.

So I got the easy badge long ago (You acquired this badge on Oct. 30, 2011.) Coming back today for daily badge and decided to play for hard badge, but windows = my death. I have yet to jump into a single window and its really annoying ^.^ PS: This game is from 2009, keep that in mind when judging it "by other games of this style"

This game definitely needs some other element. It's well done for what it is, but it's just way to minimal. There's nothing special to set it apart from the other games of this style.

solid 4 stars. would be 5 but the game is completely capable of frequently spawning instances where there is no winning move. This would kill a game normally but there really is no time investment with it so it still works.
