I consider that a fair enough warning...

http://www.addictinggames.com/nanacacrash.html

I don't know what the hell this game is about, but it's just so damn addictive. As per the norm, I shall give the gamers out there a highscore to aim for ;).

I can't read japanese, so for those of you who also can't read it and also can't figure out what's going on I'll give my brief run down on how it works (There's a lot here, so don't bother reading this first if you want to try and figure it out yourself):

You start off as any normal projectile game, set an angle and a strength. Then your guy goes flying through the level and a series of other people appear underneath him (you can see who's coming next on the right hand side, colour coded for convenience). Each of the people does something different to your flying boy (or flyboy...). The five females also have a 'special' which is activated in different ways.
  • Brown male: Changes your flight angle. Angle down if you're traveling at >45° or up otherwise.
  • Light blue male: Slows you down.
  • Yellow female: Boost! (more upward than forward). Special: if she is immediately followed by dark blue female and you click the screen within one or two seconds, you get a super boost (more upward than forward).
  • Dark blue female: Boost! (more forward than up). Special: if she is immediately followed by yellow female and you click the screen within one or two seconds, you get a super boost (more forward than up).
  • Burgandy female: Boost! Special: if you land on her twice before landing on another female, she gives you a super boost (click within one-two seconds).
  • Purple female: Blocks the <em>next</em> character you land on. Special: Every once in a while she'll have a "versus" mode pop up for the character you're over. I haven't yet activated that special yet, so I'm not sure what it does.
  • Green female: Stops the flying guy :(. Special: I'm not sure what happens when it gets activated, but it becomes available if on the previous bounce you landed on either the yellow, dark blue, or burgandy females (before touching the ground).
You also have a couple of aerial maneuvers:
  • Red: Click the screen when you're on the downward arc (the AERIAL sign goes red). The bicycle girl will fly in and knock you further. You only get three of these each game.
  • Blue: Click when you're on the upward arc (AERIAL goes blue) and the bicycle girl will fly in and knock you back toward the ground. You get an unlimited number of these but you can only use it when it's at %100. It recharges when you are in the lower half of the screen (but above the vegetation in the background).
There might be other stuff that I didn't mention. This should be enough for you if you get really confused though. Also, you can tell if there's a possibilty of a special by checking the little row of darkened faces on the right. If one's lit up, then the next time you land on the one that's highlighted be ready to click!

Lastly, a score for you to shoot for:

Yeah, apparently it's been discovered for a while now to the extent numerous authors have copied it. So not exactly new, but hey, it's a fun game. Addicting for a while.
In fact, I got a record of... um, actually, I can't remember. I'd lie and make up some huge number, but I can't remember the general area so it'd sound ridiculous.
Good luck on it, it takes some patience and frustration and, as always, lots of luck.
But yeah, it gets around. Like a record.
Tempted... tempted... no... gotta resist. NO!

Been there, done that. Highest score was thirteen thousand meters or something like that, but it was not documented.

Highest documented score was 8929.91 meters.

It's fun, but it's old.

Edit: Also, the key to the really long distances is, of course, the super boosts you can get from the versus modes.

Eh, had a feeling someone was going to pop a rib at that.
Personally, I just love the face.

I think one addiction is good enough, a certain redhead who's name begins with an "N". 8)
