A Late Entrant
After seeing some of the work done by a fellow programmer, I’ve been convinced to have a go at the competition myself. It’s not too late to get in here, right? 
For making the game, I’ll be using Flash CS3 for main development, with Paint.NET for sprites and sfxr for sound. I can’t promise that it’ll be any good, only that I’ll give it my best shot! Here’s a screencap of the game so far:

In a minute I’ll be uploading the game to my website. I’d say the game was about 1/3 done, which is good considering I only started about 6 hours ago… Wish me luck!
