Canabalt/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: The background music. Doubles as an Ear Worm.
  • As with most other soundtracks from Danny Baranowsky, it's available for download from Bandcamp, for free.
• Excuse Plot: Not even that, really. In the background Humongous Mecha stomp between ruined buildings, stopping to zap things out of sight. Closer by, futuristic craft roar past you and occasionally a missile will land in your path, wherever it is you're supposed to be going. Whatever's going on, it's a bad day.
  • The plot can be summed up with: "Press X or C to start your daring escape."
  • The Kongregate version describes it as "Outrun the demolition of your city with just one button!"
• Goddamned Window: One of the buildings in the generated-on-the-fly landscape has a window a little too low to hit with your usual jump, and this will often be your doom. Especially if you're moving too fast to really react to the scenery.
