Freeware Game Pick: Addicsjon (Arvi Teikari)
Addicsjon is another experimental project by the developer of G-E-N-E-R-I-C and FallOver, where you are in control of a drug addict who automatically tries to collect any pills he sees. Your objective is basically to guide him towards the white flag in each of the five levels included, although that can prove to be difficult as the protagonist doesn't really feel like cooperating with the player at all.

Damn, its a really frustating game, i love it.
If instead of pills it would be mushrooms, it could be a mario parody, but players probaly would bitch about originality.

I loved this idea! It was really fun to try and get a perfect score. Another fun challenge was to try and get as many pills as possible, which was pretty insane by the end, with the screen jumping all over the place.

I'm not really a perfectionist or anything in video games; I had more fun getting as many pills as possible and playing with the awesome side effects.

Wow. That was the most brilliant execution of the "game character rebels against player" concept I've seen.

I love all of Hempulis experimental Games. You really recognize his art style in every game : )

I hope to see “Winners don’t use drugs” banner at start. Good game anyway.

First try through I collected all of the pills, thinking I was supposed to (I only read the instructions after they'd changed!).
Second try through I collected 0. So, perfect score on either end. :)
