Robot Unicorn Attack

Always, I wanna be with you: the Flash game of 2010

Supported

Adult Swim's Robot Unicorn Attack, released in February 2010, was the Flash game of the year: a rainbow-trailing robot unicorn dashing through a pastel dreamscape to Erasure's Always. It was played in offices and school libraries everywhere, and the song was stuck in everyone's head.
