Browser Game Pick: Pillars (The Monkey Odyssey Project)
I completely missed this a few months ago when it won the '4k Flash Game Audience Choice Award', but better late than never, right? Pillars (original 4kPillars, as the game was written in less than 4k for the competition) reminded me a lot of dodging all over the place in Starwing.
Gameplay is smooth and feels great, although I found it incredibly difficult. Starting on Mercury, the ship makes it way through each of the planets in turn. I only managed to reach Earth before crashing one too many times.
There's also a 2 player mode in which players battle it out on one keyboard to survive the longest. Fantastic fun if you can find a buddy to sit down with. Pillars is available to play over on the MOP site.

It would have been a lot funner if the screen didn't scroll up with you when you fly up. When you fly on the "top 2" rows, you can't see your shadow so it's a bit hard to gauge the position of your ship.

This game is pretty frustrating. Due to the camera angle, it's hard to tell where the plane is going to hit the pillars. Shame, as it would have been really fun otherwise.

no offense, but what makes this any different than the billion other flash games that are exactly like it?
it's extremely generic

I found the game very frustrating, difficult to see exactly where the ship will be.
