I love the music when it kicks in. Apparently, if you survive long enough the tripod appears behind you; but I can only reach about 2500 meters.
I like the way that you have to decide when to run into boxes to slow you down and when to jump over them to maintain a jumping distance. The only thing that kills the enjoyment is probably when you have to jump through the windows. It's really unfair since you have to jump at an exact spot and you don't have a warning sound like the bombs.
It is addictive though, I'll give you that.

Been playing this off an on since it was released. I'm a huge fan of Adam Atomic's works. Loved the scenery and graphics for Canabalt, and the 5-minute looping track suits everything perfectly. I was hoping for this game to have a proper ending, maybe in a future iteration.
Also, protip: Use the boxes and other objects blocking your path to your advantage. It's best to keep your speed somewhere in the middle, going to slow or to fast will just hinder your progress. The objects will help decrease your speed when you run into them.
I was on a ArmorGames.com clicked on this game, and then refreshed destructoid and it was this story. It freaked me out.
I like this game quite a bit. I think the idea that your daring escape will never end with you alive is an interesting one, indeed.
It's basically the same one-button platforming found in "Klungo Saves The World", the amazing and totally brutal platformer minigame you can play in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Though it's definitely faster and it's got a good song......but it's still not as awesome as KSTW.
Also, Nuts and Bolts is a totally amazing game. Just putting that out there.

Love the art and animation.
The only thing I hate, is trying to jump through the windows and I end up jumping a little too high.

I played this on Armor Games last night, pretty cool!
Just played it again, 3122m!
It's crazy how fun tapping X is. I LOVE all the stuff going on in the background.

Which reminds me; I wish there was some kind of auto-pilot mode so you could just watch the scenery.
I really love how this game handles speed.
Hit boxes to slow down, so that you can react to upcoming obstacles. But slow down too much, and you won't be able to jump the longer gaps.
Fun stuff.

354m on my first run. :(
Is it really necessary to jump over the smaller obstacles like the chairs and crates? The guy just keeps running after hitting them.

Buhhhh never mind my question. I didn't read the comments before posting mine and now I look like a stupid asshole who doesn't read the comments before posting his.
I just bought Levers on my iPod touch(which is fantastic) the other day and might get Acrobots too, this seems like something I will plan on purchasing too. Between this and Levers, Rolando and Space Invaders Infinity Gene as well as even things like Passage to Crystal Defenders the iPhone/iPod touch has become reasonably solid albeit "simpler" gaming platform. Hell, I might even get that RE4 game.

I'm danny, i'm the guy who did the music for Canabalt.
I just gotta say, i've been a destructoid reader for a while now, and I am blown away that you guys posted the game!!! thank you so much! I am very happy that this game is getting such good reception, we are very proud of it. It's gonna be awesome on iPhone.

This game is serious amounts of fun. The premise is so simple, yet everything around it just makes it so complete.
Oh, and 2,544. I need more practice.

I'm averaging about 900+meters each playthrough. So far, 3242. Stupid bombs!
And Danny B, those beats are wicked and all so-appropriate for this game.

I've only once gotten past the low windows, so everytime they come up, i'm dead. :(
But it's still an enjoyable game.

Wow, pure, unadulterated brilliance. Great style, simple and addictive. Some developers could learn from this.
Liked it enough to give a donation.
I could only get to about 7000, but that really felt like a real achievement.
