Canafall: a free one-tap jungle endless runner
Canafall is a retro endless runner you play with one tap. Your explorer runs by himself through an Atari-2600-style jungle; you tap to jump, swing from vines, hop across crocodiles, climb ladders and dive into tunnels. It is free, runs in any browser on iPhone, Android or PC, and needs no download or signup.
How to play
- The explorer runs on his own. One tap does the right move for what is ahead: jump, grab a vine, let go, hop a croc, take a ladder down or up, or slide.
- Hold the tap for a higher jump.
- The run speeds up the longer you survive. Tripping over logs or scorpions slows you down; a croc's jaws or a tar pit end the run.
- Your score is distance plus bonuses for treasure, close calls, perfect swings and combos.

- 24 trophies that unlock new outfits and worlds (Dusk, Night Run).
- Challenge links: share a run and a friend races the exact same jungle to beat your score.

Tips
- Let go of a vine near the top of its forward swing: a perfect release carries you farthest.
- Tunnels are a shortcut past the surface hazards; take the ladder down when the path above looks crowded.
- Play the Daily Jungle more than once: the map stays the same all day, so every run teaches you the route.
