@nephis: I don't mean to get philosophical but if you aren't trying to waste 20 minutes of your life then what are you doing on Kong? Promoting world peace?
My guess is that developer opted for hovering because clicking & holding might make the game lag. (Or perhaps this only happens on my crappy laptop.) Now clicking & hovering might work . . . Anyway. First game I've spent more time with my mouse outside the flash window than inside.
It would lovely if there were was an option for statistical bias: finding out over several games which countries/continents the player is most unfamiliar with and batter him with those. The game is only interesting if I don't actually know the answer (or am uncertain). Other than that, great job!
While obviously an exercise in flash, it's oddly compelling for a couple of minutes. As a thought, it would be nice if the graphics were of an *actual* metronome.
