Is Canabalt getting an expansion and coming to Steam?

Hit smartphone running title Canabalt looks set to receive an expansion, with creator Adam Saltsman telling Eurogamer that the expansion would be large enough to warrant the game appearing on “real” platforms like “Steam”.

“For some reason, Canabalt 2 sounds really dumb in my head,” Saltsman said. “This would be more like a pretty sizable free update to the existing game, to explore some ideas and give old or new players some new goals and experiences in the game.

“It would also hopefully flesh out the game to the point where maybe it could “deserve” to be on “real” platforms, like Steam or something.”

“Right now I am just trying to gauge audience interest and figure out how much we can do, how long it will take, and whether it will really be worth it, psychologically and financially,” he added.

“I don’t want to get everybody’s hopes up, but we do have a few simple ideas that I think would add a lot and be pretty fun to add… To sum up – definitely no sequel, but maybe a cool update if I can get my s*** together!”

Saltsman’s latest title, The Hunger Games: Girl on Fire, is out now – timed to coincide with the release of the blockbuster movie.
