Robot Unicorn Attack


The song's already stuck in your head, isn't it?

If you don't remember this glorious artifact of early-to-mid 2000s Cartoon Network, allow me to explain:

The commercial for this free online game (yeah I'm not sure I get that part either) ran approximately once every commercial break on Cartoon Network for some period of time during my time at college. They licensed the song "Always" by Erasure, which is amazingly and in equal parts heartfelt, ridiculous, and catchy. (You know, the perfect storm of songs.) Allow me to put it two different ways for you... (1) the opening lines are "Open your eyes / I see / Your eyes are open" and (2) the chorus is "Always / I wanna be with you / And make believe with you / And live in harmony, harmony." It will also be stuck in my head for approximately the next three years.

The game itself is an infinite-run high-speed platform. You control a robot unicorn (of course you do) and all you can do is jump, double-jump, and dash. If you run into a wall/obstacle, you explode in a fiery blaze and start again. The song "Always" by Erasure plays on an infinite loop. It's really terrific.
