Canabalt is a one-button endless runner designed by Adam Saltsman for the Experimental Gameplay Project in 2009.[9] The 2D side-scrolling video game was originally written as a Flash game, then ported to iOS, Android, PlayStation Portable, Ouya, and HTML5. An authorized version for the Commodore 64 was released on cartridge. Canabalt has been credited with popularizing the endless runner subgenre.[10]

The original version can still be played online in a Flash enabled browser. A standalone Adobe AIR version was also included for Linux in the Humble Bundle for Android #2 and #4, but the Steam release is the first regular commercial release for PC platforms. And it's a good thing they waited, since the new version, which uses the Unity engine, performs much better on Linux than the original Flash version.
