Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Fade is Canabalt for llama lovers
But aside from the intro, I found this game to be pretty satisfying. You're playing a little llama that wants to see in color. Her (or his?) world is all black and white, and it has to run very fast in order to see colors. Each round you try to gain as much speed as you can, while jumping over chasms and avoiding "slow-down" barrels. When you do this, you gain skill points which you can use to... get better skills! This means you can accelerate faster, have more speed, jump higher and so forth.
Supposedly, if you run fast enough and gain enough skill, your game should suddenly become colorful! I did not get there yet, but they sure got me excited about it! I will probably spend the next few days trying to get my llama to see in color.
Did you make it?

I watched the intro. It changed my life.
The game itself is sooo awful, Erez :P
Seriously, I think I fell in the first hole about 5 times.

i enjoy this game a little more than canabalt
mainly due to the better story (and the power up system)
i dont like canabaults story of "its the appoclypse, run for your life" where are you gonna go
the easiest way to get the color is to go 50 MPH which unlocks the colored button on the main screen (as well as receive the colored acheivement)

@mer2329 How far did you get? :)

@Sebastian Anthony past 10,000 distance
i had have all the achevements except lucky (which has a random factor involved)
heres the order i purchased the abilities (as well as some notes)
first note points are awarded when you fall thats also when you can up your skills (based on your distance traveled)
first get one of each basic skill except run through (5 points each, total 15)
just get 20 points and purchase the advanced skill "double jump"
then get 20 more and purchase the advanced skill "wall climb"
then get one more jump (10 points)
next 2 more accelerate (10 then 30 points)
and one last another jump (20 points)
and get 2 run throughs (5 then 10 points)
i suggest leaving jump at 3 otherwise it hard aiming for a good landing point (especially with double jump)
max out speed and acceleration before maxing run through
at this point when you get going to 20-25 mph you can just run with out jumping (thanks to wall climb) unless you have a significant jump up then you need to jump
if your speed goes below 20 stay on the surface to gain more speed
you gain speed when running strait (and not jumping)
when you hit 50 (or think you have) go to the main menu and check your acheivements look for the colored one (its in the last colum if its grayed out then you did not get it yet)
also holding down any jump button will act like an auto fire jump button (jump, double-jump [if purchased], repeat)
i dont recomend this
you can get far doing this but your speed will suffer
