rComplex, that strange, stylish, story-driven Canabalt-y thing that won Free Indie Countdown back in December has been turned into a short film! Zenithfilms (which, as best I can tell, is actually a dude named Gareth Morgan) collaborated on the film with Rekcahdam, the guy who made the original game, and the results are actually pretty visually striking.

Sure, the budget obviously wasn’t huge (and for some reason it uses the same painful voice acting that the original game did), but it’s an attractive, faithful indie film remake of a neat little game, and there’s something to be said for that. I mean, dig the green and blue objects the protagonist slides under and jumps over. That is some attention to detail right there.

Between this and that Every Day The Same Dream short film, I hope adapting indie games into indie shorts becomes a certifiable thing. I would love to see what a Joe Danger movie would look like.

(Thanks, Joe!)
