Adobe Creative Mind definitely fits into the category “Flash Thing”, rather than “Flash Game”, in fact “Spaced out monkey trippin universe” or even ”Flash Mind Bender” might be more appropriate. Nice. Move your mouse around, point, click, wonder what on earth is going on…

Or, as Adobe themselves describe it:

“The universe in your head.
Full of trap doors, ripcords and rabbit holes.
Abstract biology. Potential energy.”
