I'm going to write a Flappy Bird text adventure, where you play a desperate attention-grabbing software developer.

The aim of the game is to get onto the HN front page by in some way leveraging Flappy Bird fever.

(not a dig at this specific example - this one is quite cool)

Extra credit if you kill the game just as it starts to get popular.
