Is the source code somewhere?

It's JavaScript and the source is not obfuscated. You can view it here: http://hellorun.helloenjoy.com/js/hellorun.min.js

I made a beautified version to look at here: https://gist.github.com/slacka/6434572

This is very nice, really cool. Would love to learn from it, but I can't find the source code. : /

Very nice. Took quite a while to load. Would be great if the user could slow down the pace which also slows the pace of the music and vice-versa.

Maybe include an invert axis option? Great btw

Yeah, since it feels like a plane the up/down controls should be inverted.

Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Chrome 29.xx and it's telling me my browser doesn't support WebGL.

Same here, but WebGL works for me; not only do I make things with it, I can use all games/demos in WebGL without issues. Only this game doesn't work. Chrome latest on Mac OS X.

apparently it was "built with unity" does unity now target html5 without any depending on a webplayer plugin?

It seems like the scene might have been built with Unity and was then exported. There is a data file loaded[1] which states its generator is "ThreeExporter.cs" in version 4.0.

Change your browser tab as you hit a wall and the track speed is slowed down. You will hear the rest of the song played with a permanent pitch shift.

Beautiful but restarting from the beginning on the slightest mistake makes this game negative fun to play.

I ended up disabling the gates as I just wanted to look at it for a bit

  HELLORUN.Game.prototype.onGate = function() {}

On the one hand, I dislike the multiple layers of abstraction removing the programmer from the metal and killing performance. On the other hand, being able to hack the source code like this reminds me of my childhood Apple IIe, cracking and hacking days. Adding extra lives and other cheats was THE reason I learned how to program. If I grew up with today's binary apps and need for developer kits, I'd likely spend more time consuming and less time hacking.

At 70 it gets so fast it becomes almost impossible to spot the openings on time.

I got to 90 ;)
