8-Bit Awesome: A Behind the Scenes Look At CANABALT

As mentioned here previously, one of my gaming obsessions of this past year was the awesome flash/iPhone freerunning game Canabalt.

Developed in only a manner of days, Adam “Atomic” Saltman’s game took the internet by storm, and has been an amazing success since.

Now, thanks to the gang at BoingBoing, we’re getting a peek behind the curtain at Saltman’s sketchbook, as he plotted out the ideas for the game which became Canabalt.

Something I really loved was the intention of Canabalt being a much more advanced game, and Canabalt proper being a “quick race” option within that game.

I can’t help but wonder – when are we going to see Canabalt 2?!
