| Platform(s) | Flash iOS Android |
| Release | 2009 |

Canabalt is a side-scrolling video game developed in 2009 by Adam Saltsman for the Experimental Gameplay Project. Originally released in Flash on his own web site, the game has since been ported to many platforms including iOS, Android and the Chrome Web Store; as well as being featured on sites such as Kongregate and Newgrounds. In March 2012, Canabalt was included in the Humble Bundle for Android 2.
In November 2012, Canabalt was included in an exhibit on video games at the Museum of Modern Art.
Reception
The game was listed among the best of 2009 by numerous publications including Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Eurogamer, and went on to spawn a genre of "endless running" games; including such titles as Robot Unicorn Attack, which Kieron Gillen described in his 2010 Game of the Year piece for Eurogamer as a "shameless Canabalt clone." Similarly, in Joystiq's review of Halfbrick Studios' Jetpack Joyride, Ben Gilbert argued that "Doom is to Halo, as Canabalt is to Jetpack Joyride."
In May 2011, Lewis Denby of PC Gamer included it at number 13 in a list of 20 free PC games you must play.
