Robot Unicorn Attack is a Flash game developed by Spiritonin Media Games and published by Adult Swim. It's an endless runner where players take control of a robotic unicorn. The goal is to get the highest score, which is obtained by running for as long as possible, collecting pixies, and dashing through crystal stars.
Robot Unicorn Attack was ported to iOS and Android, and received several sequels and spinoffs. The most recent was the 2017 mobile-exclusive Robot Unicorn Attack 3. The game's viral fame led to a surge in popularity for the 1994 song Always by the British band Erasure, as it was the game's soundtrack.
As of November 2020, it is fully playable in Ruffle with a few graphical bugs.

Shh..only dreams now.
Hush everyone, lest Erasure tries to sue Internet Archive too in a misguided attempt to "make more money" (not realizing that letting this game circulate is FREE PUBLICITY-people will buy the track as long as you aren't greedy corporate asshats about it).
The greedy corporate asshats are going to take away all of our hopes, dreams, games, books, movies, music...support Internet Archive and encourage their fight against the corporate asshats! ALWAYS!

AND MAKE BELIEVE WITH YOU
My god, what a flashback! My group was obsessed with this game in high school. We could only play it on a webpage that JUST hosted Robot Unicorn Attack since all the normal sites were blocked. Playing it now and realizing what an incredible sensory overload it is. I don't know how I coped!

Thank God!!!!!!!!!
Yassssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Robot Unicorn forever.
Shame the idiot developers have no sense of love for the past. Like leaving this behind is as bad as leaving pac man behind. You just don't do it. I'd pay 5 bucks again and again to keep playing this on newer phones and my laptop.

FINALLY
I was so worried that I'd have to maintain some archaic vulnerable browser config into 2021 to relish this classic. Thank you for preserving it!
