You may remember the demo level of the 2D Mirror's Edge Flash game from a while back; a single level was released back in November. Today, Brad Borne (the guy who makes Fancy Pants Adventure) and EA have released the final version of the game. This Flash edition features 3 levels, time trial modes, and leaderboards, with future updates being promised as well. I remember liking the demo quite a bit, and I love Fancy Pants Adventure, so I'm pretty excited to spend some time with this. I guess it'll be a good marketing tool, although Mirror's Edge has been out for a while, so maybe they're hoping to drum up interest in the sequel? (Which I'm actually looking forward to -- despite a lot of the disappointment many people felt, I really enjoyed ME.)
Anyway, check out the game and let us know what you think. The most interesting thing I've heard about it so far comes from Psychotronic over at JayIsGames.com, who says the 2D version is what the 3D game should have been. What do you think?

Even though I think it's just plain amazing, I'm still glad I won the game and didn't have to pay $60 for it. Assuming there is a sequel, I'll probably wait for some kind of deal to get it. On my second playthrough on Hard, the single player literally took me only 1 hour and 45 minutes to beat.
Though I DID spend a significant amount of time prior to that run learning all the shortcuts and time savers in ordder to pass the time trials.
This 2D version, enh ok. I'm already excited for a sequel. The sooner the better.
