The Lazy Security Patrolling Apple’s App Store

This past weekend, readers alerted us to an absolutely contemptible ripoff on the iTunes App Store. Someone had submitted a straight-up copy of the Canabalt flash game, called it Canabalt HD — which doesn’t exist on the iOS. Once again, some unscrupulous dick managed to slide Adam Saltsman’s game past Apple’s mall security.

Mirror’s Edge + Canabalt + Acid? Yes Please

I’m in no way condoning drug use of any kind (except for Panadol, because I have a headache and I’m about to take some) but Fotonica is Mirror’s Edge + Canabalt + Acid, and I think it looks incredible – as if someone put the one-button-jump game inside a Rez style universe that continually invents itself through motion. It’s a pretty incredible experience.
