Am I just lame or is this challenge description a bit convoluted?

Corella

I'd describe it as extremely open-ended :-)

The goal is to guide the falling leaf safely to the ground, without being blown too far off screen by the changing winds or descending obstacles.

Here is my game called leaf runners!

Gonna throw my newest game in there, under the game mechanic side of 'fall'

The player uses portals to move around, doing lots of 'fall'ing I've also got falling blocks you need to dodge, or use to open doors, stuff like that:

I am submitting Bait Escape for November for it's game mechanic. It is not necessarily using path finding, but the control is set up so that you can touch a position and the character moves to that position, but you can also just drag and the character will follow that at the same time. The iPhone version also offers the ability to switch the controls to use the accelerometer.

This is my first attempt at a game, it's called Turkey Drop and you move the pot back and forth to catch the falling dinner, but avoid falling poop before time runs out. I also just submitted this to the app store where you control with the accelerometer instead of arrow keys.

Well I made it just before the deadline! Here's my entry. iPhone version is in review. Should be out soon!
