One day in class when everyone had finished
working, I saw some friends of mine playing this game, Canvas Rider on Google
Chrome. To me, it looked interesting enough, so surely, I gave it a whirl.
Little did I know, in just a day, I would become so addicted to a simple little
computer game.
This online game has its own website, called www.canvasrider.com.
The purpose of this game is to complete tracks, made by others on the website.
If you make an account, you can try to beat other member’s high score. The cost
is free to make a membership for this addicting game, and you can save your
times and like others tracks. You can view other's replay to see how they
managed to beat the track if you're stuck on a particular level. I'm really
surprised with how simple the game is. The game is created using nothing but
JavaScript and HTML5 to make an exciting and challenging game. Yes, the game is
challenging at first, but after a while you do get the hang of it. The controls
are the Up arrow to move forward, the left and right arrows to balance, and the
down arrow to break. Enter is to restart from the latest checkpoint, and the F
key is for full screen. There are little dots that the creator can include, and
if you ride into them, specific things will happen. Red means you'll blow up
and blue is a checkpoint. Yellow are coins.
Now, this game may seem so simple, but don't underestimate its addictive
qualities. This game may have you hooked for hours! There are over thousands of
tracks, some are very easy, and some are not so easy, created by other players
that will have you playing this game for hours on end.
