The Chloe Game!
Hi everyone, I've programmed a game as a surprise for my girlfriend's daughter (featuring her as the main character) and if anybody would like to check it out it's at:

Basically you have to fly around dodging things, and when you die the computer gives you a snide remark.
Anyway let me know what you think of it and how far you get, and of course if you've got any questions about how it was made or anything I'm happy to answer them, thanks!

Very cool game. Gameplay's good, interesting movement of the stuff you have to dodge, and has nice, clean graphics. Good job :)I got to phase 9 and the computer made fun of me.(seriously, a lot of those remarks are great ;)I think I'm going to go cry now... :'(
you know, somebody should give YOU a bad remark! :P *thinks of one* Uhh... your game is GOOD to compared to mine, but that's not saying much. Don't you just want to cry in shame now? :P
I made it to the measly 9th level as well before that nasty whip action of the "things" got her.. the poor miserable girl. I hope she doesn't get a complex from getting to level 10 and still getting "snide" comments thrown at her!
I'll try not to play it all day, thanks for the game. :)

Thanks, glad you like it. I only used one thread, which calls the update methods for Chloe and the flying things. If you like I can email the code to you, it's got next to no comments in it but the variable names are pretty informative, drop us a line if you want it, my address is on the title screen of the game.
Powerups would be a pretty good idea, or maybe for certain stages walls could suddenly appear, making the whole thing claustrophobic suddenly. The last change I made was putting sound into it but I didn't like the way it turned out.
If anybody feels like making a modified version then feel free, just give me credit!
