Beat it, made the top 10 list for about a half-hour or so, then fell off thanks to people scoring at about 80,000 or so, compared to my relatively-pitiful 47,000. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Also, this is NOT going to turn into a steam-flame thread. If it does, it'll have to be disinfected. Hate flash all you like..

It looks like he used a program called swfXXL - it's a fullscreen projector for flash. And since it's part of the 40MB application, there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it.
Im running on a 2.4 GHz, and I do get occasional slowdown, but its really not that much of an issue. Fun little game, for a time, I love the dialog. My only question: What is up with the crow minigame?

1.92 GHz and it was fun up till the final strider fight. Which was crap due to me dying in rather embarassing ways after a bump slipped me into either the sides or into the bottom. What happens after you kill the strider?

I hope it's not too large a download, being on dialup and all. I'd hate to spend all night getting this game only to find out my computer can't run it's 2D super graphics.

i'll reserve my judgement on this until my computer gets fast enough to play it. i'm on a 1.5ghz athlon, and even at the most minimum graphics settings (and my flash is updated), my control and mouse movement lags. i've played better looking games on my old 120ghz compaq computer, i can't understand why they couldn't have programmed a more efficient engine instead of using flash.
But this is really nothing special. Very cool, but only for a day or so. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Crow chase... get ALL the birds off the ground. And keep them there. Your score goes up so long as all of them are in-flight.
ESPECIALLY make the 'dove' (pigeon, IMO) a priority, as so long as it's on the ground, it takes points AWAY from your score. To get the pigeon off your statue, jump out of the treehouse on the right to shoo it off. After that, I've never had anything land at that point on the statue again.
No lag here, but then I'm running on an Ath64 3200+. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> The only problem I had was that it set my refresh rate to 43hz in ALL the games I play. :b A little tweaking with the drivers made it stop. ^_^
Game would be good for me if my comp didnt lag so freakin much, as in the first level as soon as i take my finger off button "d" to move he still freakin runs for another 100 feet and usually ends up falling into the water.. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
flash != director. Just like any other code, it would take someone who knew both languages to port it, ie rewrite. Most of the graphics however would be easy to export/import.

I just beat it, posted my score, and found out about the bonus game- "Crow Chase". You chase, you have time, you get points.

it's flash.
flash is relatively easy to code for.
flash is cross-platform compatible.
flash is marginally more efficient than java.

And, now that I try it again, the Manipulator's pretty cool, but I thinkt the gameplay's too unexciting.
EDIT: How hard is it to port to Shockwave? Doesn't Shockwave have hardware rendering capabilities?
