"Canabalt is pure genius." -necessarygames.com "It's going to be quite some time before you find something so simple so thrilling again." -Offworld "I bought it last night, and next to Eliss and iDracula it's the best iPhone game I've yet played. The fast pace and one-button gameplay translate perfectly to Apple's ubiquitous little mobile device." -Rev. Burch, Destructoid "Canabalt is a fun diversion and sports slick, black and white pixel graphics." -IGN "This "daring escape" platformer is simply beautiful and beautifully simple." -Kotaku "Canabalt is actually much more intense than you'd assume of a game which requires a single finger to play." -GameSpy "It's all very lovely and full of poignant subtext. And awesomeness. Canabalt is a prime example of a simple idea executed extremely well." -JayIsGames "I have never seen a concept so richly and successfully realized in such a simple yet stunningly complete form. Canabalt represents the power and potential of small independent games." -gameinmind.com "Music is another component that is just perfect - it enhances the strange and unsettling setting of the game and also gives a sense of speed with a hint of hope that quick feet might be the salvation to the horror." -bartsnews.net "Fast load times combined with short (yet exciting) game sessions really make for an attractive game to play on a mobile device." -TouchArcade NOTE: We had a final quote here that was a kind of indie game developer in-joke, that we thought lent our collection of hyperbolic praise a humble, human touch, but apparently some of our reviewers have absolutely no sense of humor, so it has been removed!
