Grits turned me on to this yesterday. It's a flash-based game found on the Adult Swim website, and it is awesome. What you have here, is basically a modified version of Canabalt. The object of RUA, is simple: keep running. Your score increases as you run. Where it differs from Canabalt, (besides the Unicorn-bot protagonist, and that instead of running through an alien apocalypse, you seem to be running through a little girl's wishes) is that you get bonus points for "dashing" through stars and collecting, what appear to be, tiny pixies. The pixies increase in value, if you collect them consecutively. Also, the game affords you a double jump, which saved my horsey-ass many many times. As a visual bonus, as your score begins to climb, ethereal pink dolphins join you on your journey. Truly Outrageous..
Where this game truly shines, is in it's soundtrack. While you play, a portion of Erasure's "Always" plays. I DEFY you to get that song out of your head after playing. DEFY.

So, if you have a bit of spare time (work is always a good candidate), head on over to Adult Swim's site and wish away! I have a feeling I'll be doing more Casual Attire segments based on their fare. Grits tells me Cream Wolf is good as well. With a name like that, how could he be wrong?
