Did you see this? This is Canabalt, a crazy little game that involves a man running and jumping in an 8-bit pixellated world that seems to be falling apart around you.

I’m reminded of Half-Life, Mirror’s Edge, and like some kind of weird Sonic game that doesn’t require you to remove your testes to play.

The best thing is that they’ve included a working demo of the game on the web page so all you have to do is sit there and tap your life away until those monsters in the background come and eat you. Fun, fun stuff.
