In the distant future, aliens come to our planet, unseen. They started by slowly removing one bird species at a time. soon there was only one bird left. And soon they were replaced, replaced by what seemed to be a normal bird, but they were far from it. They were made to be the perfect spy. looking for humans. Soon the humans began to disappear and reappear... different, in just months there was but a single normal man left. And he knew it. He knew that they knew he knew their secret. And so it began, they hunt for the last human. the birds keeping watch over him, telling the aliens were to shoot the bombs. The aliens in their HUGE machines tearing the very earth apart looking for him! All he could do is run and so here you are, the last run of your life...... Good luck.

"Hey, the worlds about to get blown up by aliens, and we should probably get going, but I've got this easy bake oven and I don't know what to do with it." "Oh, just put it on the roof, no ones going to be up there anyway."

Remember: if you GET A HIGH SCORE on Canabalt, be sure to PLAY AT LEAST ONE MORE TIME before you leave the webpage. Apparently the game only saves a high score once you've started another game, so if you just quit immediately after dying, then the high score you just made will be lost. This happened to me a couple times already. Of course, daily and weekly scores reset at the end of the day or the week, so unless you get an all time high your score won't last very long anyway.

I finally succeeded in getting the hard badge, with 7000 meters, but now that I stopped, my screen has started moving left to right in my eye :D

(POSSIBLE) TEMPORARY FIX FOR JUMP GLITCH (Firefox tested only): Bear with me here. When you see your character's framerate starting to look static-y, right click on the Flash screen to open the pop-up menu - but do NOT click into it. While the game is "paused" without actually being paused, click on the "+" button to open a new tab. Once the new tab is open, go back to the game tab by clicking on the tab itself on the top of the browser - your game should now actually be paused. Click back into the Flash game screen, and it should somehow stabilize the game. Worked three times in a row, got my 2K on the second try once I was actually able to jump.
Please note I am merely trying to help the group of us who cannot get this game to function properly. I still believe the programmers need to look at this to find out what is going on, but at least this will allow people to get their badge if they can actually get to 2K within the intended mechanics of the game.

John D. Runner wakes up one fine morning and looks at the news. Aliens/zombies/government machines/some asian country/hitler have been spotted 600 miles from his super never-ending city. He disregards this and puts on his best Michael Jackson outfit then off to work he goes. Later that day the expected happens...unholy crapstorm has erupted and he does what any idiot who played too many games would do...jumps out the f***ing window. This is how I want to die.

@JeremySwantner I've no idea what you mean about glitches. I've played this game for hours, over a period of seven years and it's never once glitched on me.

I've noticed quite a few things that are pretty damn interesting. First the small things:the ship that flies by has a huge mounted gun on it. "You've been vaporised" small bomb that you bumb into, explodes. Canabalt crane company on the crane.
Every 5000 meters theres a special background piece. At 5000, there's a floating fortress. At 10,000 theres a huge drop pod or a giant leg of some huge mechanic beast.
When the obstacle where this huge thing drops onto the building in front of you and destroys it, theres a door and ladder slightly smaller than the man who you control.
Plus this up so everyone can see the secrets. Post the special background for 15k and 20k and beyond if you can ;)

And the speed limit for running on rooftops is ....
Apparently there is none.
I feel epic, I broke a building by running into it.

If I ever work in an office in a skyscraper, I hope I'm getting paid enough to pay for all the glass I break jumping out the window after every day.

In the future, everything is chrome (in this case the low rez makes it appear grey :D) and all humans will be genetically enhanced to not be hurt whatsoever by millions of shards of glass.
