About the Jynxed Theme: I still can't release it because one of the sponsors has still yet to get in touch with me. Trust me, as soon as he does, I'll make a post here about it, whether it be in 10 minutes or at 10pm, so keep checking in.
So I was browsing NewGrounds yesterday. (It's kinda tough to avoid it, with it being my homepage and all.) Anyway, I happened upon a pretty cool looking game called IncrediBots. (It was actually the avatar for the game that caught my eye, it just looks so simple yet fun.) Anyway, I decided to check it out and boy, am I glad I did. Not only did I spend a good two hours (not consecutively) playing it in school today, but I keep finding myself going to play it while I'm here at home. I've never loved a flash game nearly this much, ever.
The best part about this game is that there is basically an endless amount of stuff to do. You're the boss. All you'll have is a given objective (eg. - get all the bricks into a pit on the other side of the level). What you have to do is construct a robot that can do that. So essentially, you'd need a robot that can move to the bricks, extend an arm and grab the bricks, then swing the arm around and drop them into the pit. The great thing about this game, however, is that you don't have to do it this way. Make a cannon and shoot something at the bricks and make them bounce into the pit (or something else, that was kinda a bad example...). The customization possibilities are endless.
Honestly, I could see this game succeeding on home systems with even more customizations available (think Spore) and more objectives. It's just a really fun and addicting game. I recommend the hell out of it to anyone. It does take a little bit getting used to all the possibilites that are available to you, so just take it slow for five minutes or so.
Play it on either NewGrounds.com or Kongregate.com. (Another great feature of this game that I love is the ability to view other players replays. Say, for example, you can't get all of the bricks into the pit because you suck miserably, you can view the replays of all the people that got high scores and see how they did it. It's really pretty cool.)

What ever happened to releasing themes just for the fun of it, without sponsors?
