My next game, F is for Falling (http://howihatethenight.com/games/f-is-for-falling-2/) was just submitted to the app store. I also built this for the Macworld contest, so it's available on the web too (just sideways)

Description
In F is for Falling, the goal is to fall as long as you can without dying. Your player, a stunt man, jumps out of a plane wearing a special oxygen tank, right above an airshow. Dodging Airplanes, Hot Air Balloons, Helicopters, Rockermen and Hang Gliders, not to mention all the birds, can you make it all the way back to earth without causing your oxygen tank to explode?
There are a several obstacles you must evade on your way down:
Birds – From small birds to whole flocks of birds
Hang Gliders - These guys fly back and forth and just get in your way.
Hot Air Balloons - Slow and big, watch out!
Planes & Helicopters - These are as fast as they are deadly, they will CUT YOU UP!
Rocketmen - Small, fast but out of control, the gas tanks are fragile and will explode when you hit them.
Missles - It wasn't very smart to schedule missle tests during the air show, but they did! Watch out for these, they are rigged to explode on impact.
There are two also types of clouds you can use to your advantage, regular clouds and thunder clouds:
Flying through a regular cloud will slow your descent.
Thunder clounds will speed things up.

Pretty fun game, though! The items move too fast for me it seems. I can't really get into any rhythm- its more like just hoping I don't get killed in the first few seconds.
For the most part it's easy except the darned planes
ktfright, which one? Dang? (which I really like)
butterbean, good job. it's MUCH easier to play on the iphone, like 100x easier. my record is 1284 feet
rebump - yep, the helis and the planes are brutal
eastbound - yea, it's there, I just threw a filter on top to smooth things out, things were moving a little too quick to see on the regular paper, and if i slowed things down it was too easy.
jGary321 - good job!
SDMG - yea, he probably spent more time than I did, this is about 12 hours worth of work including artwork.
