FaveRunner: The Video Game Of Missing The Point Of Metafilter
I'm teaching myself the blitting-centric Flash games library Flixel, and my Hello World program sort of got carried away and turned into this silly little platformer in which you try to collect favorites while avoiding the menacing flags. Fifteen levels in three worlds (blue, green, and grey), random fave and flag placement, and, in fine oldschool platformer fashion, compensating for it's shortness by being unfairly hard in spots. Features chiptune snippets of matthewchen is Spamming and Doing the Churlish Pule!

Well, which is it, young feller? Do I click to start, or hit space? I mean, if'n I click, I can't rightly hit; an' if'n I hit, clickin' is out of the question.
