A classic from my childhood... but
Tue Dec 15 2020 3791Rings

Don’t get me wrong, I love this game. It’s addictive, fun, and has great atmosphere. But there are things that could be fixed. 1 I wish that you could turn off the music, I like to play my games while listening to podcasts or audiobooks. 2 Maybe a character selector would be nice. I would like to play as the original guy, but now I have to cycle through three other people to get to him. I’m not saying that I don’t want to play as them, but a choice would be nice. 3 A full screen option. That’s it. All of these problems are very minor, in all I think it’s a great game and I’d recommend it to anyone the fan of games like this.

Slight Visual Glitch
Wed Oct 23 2019 jbc.1

First things first I LOVE this game, but there is a slight visual glitch I noticed during gameplay. I was playing the Invasion game mode for a while and started noticing that the building to the right of the huge spikey thing just suddenly appeared out of the corner of my eye. I looked again, making sure that it really happened, and sure enough, it did. I am just writing this review to inform you. Awesome game though😀

Is it possible to make a story to the game?
Thu May 07 2020 0Chris7hanson1

I don’t know but is it possible to make a story to this game or is just endless scenarios I just thought of that since 2019 and I still wonder if it would be possible to make a story for Canabalt instead of endless scenarios in the game though everything in the game is fine I just think that a story would be cool

UPDATE THE APP
Mon Jan 28 2019 Quovacon

This is one of the best games available in the App Store and has been for years. The developers must upgrade the app the utilize the larger screens on the iPhone X models. Please update the app soon and keep it relevant!!! 🤞🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻

I Need To Turn The Music Off
Mon Dec 19 2022 Shapiro510

Please allow me to turn the music off and play my own music. Even when I silence my phone it will turn off the game music but won’t allow me to play my own. Very disappointed I used to love this game and I bought it to play with my own music from my phone. Please please allow me to play my own music. I’m uninstalling this until they fix it.

Yes!!

I'm so happy that one of my favorite games was brought to 64 Bit!! I was getting worried that it wouldn't be. This classic deserves to always be on IOS!!

Not a bad game but a turning off music option would be nice

I just accidentally bought this game and I actually like the game but a no music option would be really nice. the soundtrack is good but I want to listen to my own stuff. Please fix this!

Pretty and fluid, but empty
Mon Aug 05 2019 Blakertee

Some great visuals and very simple controls, but I had completed every achievement in probably under 20 minutes. Seemed to encounter every type of obstacle well before that too. The game could really use more variation and some sense of progression; as it stands it’s definitely not worth the price.
