Predictable Link - Robot Unicorn Attack

Hey guys! Comment if you frickin' love this game!

The game is called Robot Unicorn Attack; presented by adultswim games...

ROBOT. UNICORN. ATTACK.

With a title like that, how can it even fail?
I'll tell you. It can't.

Play the game here:


So, the Idea is that you are a Unicorn (a robot unicorn) collecting points through survival (don't hit a wall or fall to your death), collecting fairies and attacking giant stars.

"Why?"- you might ask? Because fairies are excellent appetizers, survival is good, and stars are fuckers anyway.

Use z to jump and navigate your unicorn over floating islands separated by huge gaps (pitfalls), and use x to dash and crush stars for points.

What I like about this game is that although you are a Unicorn in a magical land with rainbows and fairies and sparkly stuff with a pink theme and a 80's tune playing in the background they still managed to make it baddass and not at all homosexual by adding the words "Robot" and "Attack" to the title.
-"Hey dude! What game are you playing?"
-"I'm playing ROBOT unicorn ATTACK, dude!"
-"Awesome, dude, wicked radical stuff!"
-"I know dude!"

See? It balances out! And when you think about it, a unicorn is a pretty badass thing in itself. I mean, hello! Anything with a huge horn attatched to its forehead is just automatically awesome in my book.
Here's a little trick I learned: You can double jump by pressing z again in mid-air, but what you might not know is that you can ALSO press z after dashing (x) to jump AGAIN! So try jumping, double jumping, dashing and then jump again. This can be really helpful when the dash sends you flying a little further (or shorter) than you expected. You can take it one step further and do jump - jump - dash - jump - dash - jump. But that will almost always get you killed.

This game has become a big hit amongst my friends, so if you hate the song DO NOT introduce this game to your friends! Everybody is going to have this thing on their iTunes, so beware!

oh yeah, and by the way, THE SOUNDTRACK IS FUCKING AWESOME! The song is titled Always by Erasure. You can find this song on youtube here, and a downloadable version here. Just right click the "Download: Erasure - Always.mp3" and hit "save target as".

In conclusion, here are the credits for this awesome, awesome game.
