Game: Obey the Game

Despite never really attaining the heights of a Mario or a Sonic, the elephant has become something of a celebrity in the world of flash gaming. Appearing in other popular games this year like Achievement Unlocked and This is the Only Level, fans of charmingly intelligent flash games have learned to look forward to the popular pachyderm's inevitable next appearance. Fans of the elephant's hijinx won't be disappointed in Obey the Game, his final appearance in 2009 that sets him in a world of maddeningly quick mini-games with a twist; sometimes you need to obey the rules, and sometimes you don't.
