I completely agree. The sheer artistic style of this game is hard to quantify. And, on top of all that, it's a top notch game. The visual style is both hand-made (in the textures), but with super smooth animation, rotation and fades that makes it feel totally professional at the same time.

Hmmm.. Canabalt is certainly a simpler game .. lighter on the content. I can see a compelling argument that it should only be one dollar. Me, I got more enjoyment out of Canabalt than Hi, How Are You.

I'm not saying Hi, How Are You is a lesser game. Just my preference. IMHO, they're both great. Canabalt is stylish, and a great game to fill any 60 second space in time. Hi, How Are You is beautifully arty, and a real joy to explore.

I'd pay $3.00 for either of them. And, well, I did!

You guys complaining about the price… "three times more!!!" fail to acknowledge that it is only two dollars more than the sale price.

Sure it is more, but two dollars is only a little more. I'd hate to see what you folks leave as a tip after going out to eat.

I just bought this game partially out of spite. I love D. Johnston, but it was the ridiculous complaints here that pushed me into the buy column— I want to distance myself from you silly people.

I'm finding the game to be well worth the $3, and I'm very happy that I bought it. I can't say enough how great the art and music are in this game. This is the kind of game that is well suited for the iPhone, and I'm all for both supporting the indie devs and enjoying a good game.

Since the day the App Store came out, I've far more enjoyed games from indie developers than from big-name developing houses. They're more willing to be creative and understand what is fun and what isn't.
