Kitten Cannon (flash). Exactly what it says.
It's basically a new version of Penguin Baseball, ain't it?

This isn't the new anything, it's at least four years old.
It is, however, immensely satisfying.

Why would I play a game when I have done the real thing and achieved a much greater distance?

751.
So, I feel like I've played about 5 different versions of this game now. And it's fun, but I feel like I must be missing something. Is there any way to predict where the trampolines will be?

1566, after a disturbing amount of tries. I didn't know I loved to blow up kittens so much.

Here's another version of the distance game, I like it slimtly more than average, but I'd never FPP it.

I knew I'd seen this before (not calling double). My girlfriend hated it (which is possibly why I played it for a lot longer than I should've ;-)

This game is like 4 years old. There's a reason it hasn't been posted to MeFi in all that time.

I don't mean to be a downer or anything, but how has this not been on MeFi before? It's as old as the internet!
And thanks for stealing my morning away from me.

Dear My Fellow Flash Designers,
If you continue to create UI's with sound that plays on load... and no VOLUME control... I am going to kick you in the stomach.
Yours,
TK

I never promised that you'd like it, only that you'd click it.

No reflection on you, bb. What this game doesn't have that Nanaca Crash does (aside from polish, but you can argue polish would ruin a game that's about torturing kittens) is interactivity. NC has just the barest element of "oh crap, I can save/ruin this round for myself". You get three up-intercepts and one recharging downward smash in NC, and there's the element where you control the super attacks when you land on certain girls. You have to pay attention, you have to be engaged. Both games feature a random layout of obstacles and objects, but the added element in NC makes it less of a slot machine. Not a lot; just enough to make for pure addiction.
