Anyone remember Cool Spot?

Please... Can someone team up with a programmer and make a game like this but for Ubuntu? It's a great way of marketing a product.

The people I introduce to linux/ubuntu usually start off by playing SuperTux, Frozen-Bubble, Planet Penguin Racer and Slune. They all feature penguins, which is not an obvious trademark.

Having a feisty fawn or an edgy eft or a dapper drake or a breezy badger run around in a world full of ubuntu symbols would put the ubuntu concept on the map even for young kids to understand. Positive association like this will help strenghten the ubuntu community. At least, that's what I think. 8)

Good idea...
First I tought about the ubuntu logo with arms, but yuck...
But maybe someone could join your idea with Captain Cavernīs mascots (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209452) ;)

I'd like to see a game where the Linux Tux can ride on the back of a huge Firefox, which battles against virus' with the mark of the IE Stigma.
