Very cool.

I'd vote for the latter.
For people who don't know, the game he's talking about (I think) is
"SFCave": here's Java

and the version I first met, a great palm app:

(tho it was slow on my color palm, fast on my old monochrome)
I dunno what else would be cool to throw in, in terms of obstacles...
maybe have 3 waves: normal cave, cave with obstacles, cave with
moving obstacles (might be too tough?) and then repeat, faster
and/or with a thinner cave.
Another variation that reflects my interest with gravity in
games (very easy to do, just have a Y-speed, and every click,
add 1 to the Y-speed in a downard direction, and pressing
thrust adds some value to the Y-speed in an upward direction.)
would be to add a "joust" like control scheme as an option.
(I know, shades of stalled joustpong). This would make an experience
a bit like NES "Balloon Fight"...
Oy. If anyone experienced person feels like collaborating on
finishing Flap: the JoustPong experience...(It's a proven game idea,
I've done it for Palm and Java, I'm just stuck in page boundary land)..
let me know. I'd love to wrap it up.
