Things I’ve Learned Playing Canabalt

  • Obstacles are sometimes your friend…

  • Listen closely for small details…

  • Chase your own top score…

  • Know when to stop…

Fantastic post by Patrick. Seriously — I had thought these things with regard to playing the game, but hadn’t realised that they could be applied so well to real-life.

Now the things I’ve learned playing Canabalt:

  1. You can’t jump anywhere near as far in real-life as you can in an iPhone game.
  2. It turns out that my insurance does not cover glass-window-and-subsequent-falling-related injuries sustained while jumping from building to building.
  3. So I was wrong.
