Somehow The Video For The Song From Robot Unicorn Attack Is Even Weirder Than Robot Unicorn Attack

I adore Robot Unicorn Attack. I also adore its sequel, Robot Unicorn Evolution.

I like these games for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one has got to the the song that plays as you leap and bound through them — Erasure’s “Always”.

Robot Unicorn Attacks Christmas

Take Robot Unicorn Attack, for instance. The original was wonderful. The remakes? All that really changes is the art and that single song.

You’ve fled across rooftops in Canabalt. You’ve pranced across rainbows in Robot Unicorn Attack. Now it’s time to… well… take the piss.

There’s nothing better than storming the purple shores of some nameless land as a robot, rainbow-shitting unicorn to the beat of Erasure’s Always. NOTHING!!!

Running games are the hot new genre, thanks to Canabalt. But wouldn’t it be more fun if instead of being a guy in a suit you were actually a unicorn?
