Introducing Passagebalt™
Passage™. Canabalt™. Two masterpieces of the indie game world. But what would happen were they to join forces? Passagebalt™ finally answers this question... and the answer is "the most amazing game of all time".
Passagebalt™. Because Life is a Race™.
Versions:
Windows (original version, features full SID player)
Known issues:
In the original version, SXMS (or possibly Game Maker) is super-buggy. If you get an error message, try playing one of the other versions! The game also starts out of focus, probably because of the SID player I implemented out of pure foolish desire.
The HTML5 versions run a lot slower, but I feel they still communicate the idea sufficiently. The font is also way uglier in the HTML5 version as GameMaker HTML5 refused to scale it to the size I wanted. The music doesn't seem to loop in these versions, so try not to play for more than 2 minutes!

Adam Saltsman (Adam Atomic)
Creator of Canabalt, background / environmental art, sound effects, concept

Amazing!
Amazing!
If anyone was having trouble
If anyone was having trouble running this, I've uploaded a music-free version that should be less problematic.
Another mashup...
Canabalt + Dear Esther with a continuous stream of dialog that basically you can't stop
Bahahaha!
I love the original games, this is an awesome mashup! I like how it states your cause of death. And you can jump over your potential wife if you nail it just right so you never meet her, haha!
I LOVE the C64 music, and it's HILARIOUS to me that you did all this work to integrate a crazy SID player into your game that caused a bunch of problems. I DID THE EXACT SAME THING WITH MY LUDUM DARE 23 GAME! Our music was given to us in NSF format so I converted it to a wav and added it to the game. But after the Jam, I though to myself, "I could make the download smaller if I just made the game play NSF files." One sleepless night later, I had written a Processing wrapper for the Game_Music_Emu java library and had a build of my game that could play the raw NSF file! Lo and behold, it was eating up precious CPU, causing stutter. Turned out to be a waste of time. But I learned stuff! Hope you did too.
Thanks for sharing!
