Walking to Work in New York City: The Game

Coming to the iPhone and iPad in February, Gutpela’s Sidewalker: Late to Work is a painstakingly accurate recreation of what I felt like when I visited New York City last month to hang at the Kotaku main office, right down to the lack of pants.

Gutpela says this is an endless walking game, like a mix of Temple Run and Frogger. In the introductory email the game’s style is listed as ā€œKatamari Dynasty, Jet Grind Radio, Crazy Taxi, Paper Boy, Grand Theft Autoā€œ, four pretty amazing games and one that doesn’t exist (though I’d play the hell of a game called Katamari Dynasty). I’m not seeing much of those in the video here, but what I am seeing is the feeling of waking up late for work in video game form.

And mad props to Gutpela for snagging the URL WalkingtheGame.com. I look forward to following in their footsteps next month.
