Go play the winnie-the-pooh flash game I wrote!

I can't remember if I've pimped it before, but: go play the winnie-the-pooh flash game I wrote!:

It's set ten years later, when CR and Alice[1] are about 16, and due to a clumsy mistake CR buys a cursed present for Alice, sending them to an alternate dimension where they face unresolved issues from their childhood games :)

It's aimed to be squarely in the tradition of Chip's Challenge. ie. top-down-tile-based push-things-around action/puzzle, but with fewer more complicated enemies rather than many simple ones (also see Deadly Rooms of Death)

There are 10 levels so far. Apologies for flash, see the poll below. Move with the arrow keys, press space to continue from message screens. Click the buttons on the right to jump to a level. There is a reason everything's so violent, it's not *just* gratuitous.

Walkthrough for level one: Walk down, walk left into pooh. Read the text. Start again. Walk down, walk right, walk left.

I'm sure most of you (hi Simon :)) have more extensive computer games written, but I enjoyed writing this. It is very much, what I had time to do, and left when I didn't have any time. One thing I may do in the next few months is polish it up.

Which of the following would you most like to see me do? (Vote for one option, or more only if you want to).

My name is and I think you should:
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Replace flash with C (for windows andlinux), or another web language
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Optimise flash code making it smoother
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Make the game turn-based instead of real time. (Or give an option one or the other.)
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Sometimes you can't tell if CR is going to move. Show this visually.
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Add UI. Eg. an intro screen, score chart, instructions, level progression
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Design more levels!
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Design more characters (currently there are CR, Pooh, Small and Piglet)
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Rework the metaphysics to make it more consistent.
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Write more consistent flavour text. (More puns? Fewer puns?)
---DefinitelyIf you have timeNo, don't bother Add live action animation of characters Can I play Christopher Robin? Can I play Alice[1]?

Nope, no closer to doing level 4. It's driving me insane. I can run round the outside in an infinite loop, but there is no way to dodge anywhere without the first bear following me, afaics
