Okay, this is a game inspired by Canabalt. It's got procedural level generation, competitive highscores and penguins. As my first Flash game, I'm reasonably pleased with it, so do give it a play or two, and see what you think. Thanks, sincerely, for checking this out.
For anyone interested, the game was created using some software called Multimedia Fusion 2. That's right, I didn't use Flash CS3 or CS4, or FlashDevelop, or Flex, or pure actionscipt or... butterflys. MMF2 recently got the ability to export to Flash, and so this is one of the first handful of MMF2 games on Newgrounds.
The creation of this game originally came about through a competition at http://gamebuilder.info to create a game but only using 20 blocks of code. Quite a challenge. I mean, anyone can create a game in 20 blocks of code, but a game with polish, with charm, with as few bugs as possible, that is tough. Inspired by the classic Canabalt, I whipped it together in a few weeks. It wasn't for Flash originally, but a few months later I went over it, fixing all the problems and in the process doubling the amount of code. It did well in the competition, and has so far been played thousands and thousands of times. I guess that's the great thing about Flash games. You get this massive audience you can entertain. Like you! Thanks for playing this, means a lot to me.
