    Canabalt and Solipskier are comparable. PvZ isn't. And I never bit on Canabalt but I absolutely love Solipskier. No doubt, front homepage, no folder icon space just for it!

    I'd go with this or PvZ. Solipskier's hard to put down when you get the hang of things, plus it's soundtrack is just ****ing amazing. PvZ on the other hand is PvZ, you can't go wrong with it.

    Canabalt; while great, has just gotten boring for me...especially after Monster Dash.

    Excellent addition of audio options in the new version. Keep up the good work, aeiowu!

    Made it past 15 mil --- not exactly amroc territory, but a 33% improvement for me. All thanks to the tips of amroc and others, keep 'em coming please. This game is deeper than I initially thought and I have a feeling there are a variety of good strategies beyond just doing perfect tunnels.

    Still crash most of the time when the screen tells me to Jump. Wish I could figure that out.

    Dear devs, thanks for the update!

    Amendment: right after I posted that I broke 21 mil, what a thrill!

    would be nice to have some kind of pro mode, because now the beginning of the game is extremely slow and boring.

    I guess I'll just cave in and buy it -.-

    I was hoping to wait for a sale, but it's cruisin up the rankings again, so I guess a sale won't happen any time soon.

    .......

    Does anyone have tips on getting perfect tunnels? I find it very hard at high speeds if they don't happen to be straight. Also to the devs I would suggest displaying the perfect tunnel bonus somewhere in the middle of the screen like a buzz the tower or when going through a tunnel gate because it's like the biggest bonus in the game and I always am distracted looking to the left to see if I got a perfect tunnel.
    Awesome game !!!

    I keep my finger aligned with the tunnel indicator through the entire tunnel. If the indicator goes up so does my slope. I've made a perfect tunnel at 175 kph doing this. Hope it helps

    Awesome game.

    I don't see what's so hard about it though xD my highscore is already 16.3 million and my average is about 11 :p

    Maybe I'm just naturally good at this one, which is weird cuz usually I suck at games. :)

    Just improved my highscore from 16 mio to 17 mio
    The 16 mio took me about 5 minutes and the 17 mio about 2.5
    And that's why i love this game you cannot only improve your highscore you can also improve the time you need to get that score not like in doodle jump ( higher scores = longer time )

    What are the tricks? How do you know how high or low, and how far to jump without wiping out? There must be tricks or strategies, yes?
