I'm not sure if Flash uses my GPU, but it's fast enough so that I can play a similar game while doing background compilations.
Have you tried it in IE9 or one of the recent builds of FF / Chrome?
When I am playing a canvas game I do not want to drag, zoom, or otherwise disturb the area that makes up the display.
Having a separate, more helpful, context menu and keeping focus are both the best things and the worst things about flash.
I must admit I posted partly because I was sure this would have found its way to HN already and wanted a lazy way to find an existing thread about it!
Regardless, I'm going to be playing it for the next half-hour.
I for one am enjoying it, but had not seen linerider and co before. Cheers to the developer.
Although after playing a few levels, the game is partly to blame. It's far too easy to die - I don't think I've had more than a few seconds of play before dying and having to restart. Gets frustrating.
Crowd-sourcing of track design is a great idea, but the game needs a better way to filter out the crud. Most of the designs are personal experiments, and even the better ones could really use a few checkpoints.
