A cool flash game

Find the star
Good idea behind the game: find a hidden star on each level.
Gameplay is usually based on creativity and not mouse skills or reaction time.
It is sometimes intuitive while some of the levels feel very unnatural.
Enjoy!
List of countries ready for ComboBox AS2

All you need to do is to copy it inside an array and populate your ComboBox with it.
I hope it saves you a ton of hours of copypasting!

Google spiders run the SWF file and clicks everywhere much like a hot blooded visitor would. Whenever it captures text, it gets indexed, If it finds a link, it add the target to it’s “to-crawl” lists and will eventually index it too.
That the good part but there are still plenty of limitations and a lot to accomplish.
