Entering THE code actually did something. I'm seriously in love with this thing.

I am the only one that thought the game was making fun of Skrillex? I thought all the noise cubes were supposed to represent his music..

Well seeing as how the final boss is Skrillex and you have to defeat him while he throws the corrupted cubes at you, I'd say yes they do represent his music, which is "corrupting the world".

It is tongue in cheek and that is part of the charm.

I hit start and 90% of the time nothing happens. The other 10% of the time, Flash crashes. I'm using Chrome stable on Ubuntu 12.04. I have no extensions besides Adblock Plus. This is the only page I've encountered that crashes Flash on my computer.

It's all 3D, so likely to be a graphics acceleration issue.

Move to Firefox. I too am on Ubuntu 12.04 and never had a problem.

Works fine with Chromium Xubuntu 12.04 for me. Extensions out the wazoo.

Disclaimer: Personal Tidbit I love electronic music. But, I can not get into Skrillex or American Dubstep for that manner. I feel like im missing something...

Agreed. I find Skrillex derivative. It's like Chicane with extra noise. Dubstep can be awesome however.

Skrillex is derivative but Chicane is original. That's a new one. I say this as a fan of both.

I saved the world with a 28%, first time. :oD I might have done better if I'd noticed the timers.

I figured this was for an album or something. I hadn't heard his music before, but it is now on my radar.

Well done and spotted.

I just upvoted something done with flash on hn for the first time ever. The zelda 1 esque levels were sheer genius. I would actually dig playing an entire game with that perspective/style.

I love this guy (Jada)! Once again showing that Flash, when used correctly, can create unrivaled experiences on the web. Also of note is the Perfect Strangers game: http://nothingsgonnastopmenow.com/

Yeah exactly. Such a perfect use of flash.
