Canabalt Canabalt

  • Rating: 3/5, C.S. July 5, 2012
  • Evaluation: Canabalt is an engaging game due to its challenge of timing jumps within a moving (both lateral and vertical) environment. However, it contains little educational value aside from increasing sensory-motor skills and physical response times. I would have rated lower but I thoroughly enjoyed the pixel art graphics.
