Hey, take this further.
Well, for a first attempt at Flash games, this is neat. I'm not gonna even pretend I know a damn thing about collision detection or the "two objects being drawn together" thing.
One thing that needs to be fixed is the key sensitivity. It took a good 5 tries before I could get used to moving the dish without it flying like crazy.
There are a few more things that you could do to make this better. For one, make something happen once all the food is collected. Even if it's a picture of Britney Spears getting a ding dong jammed up her B-hole or something. That alone would get you 50,000 cool points on this site.
Also, you gotta make the game end when the player loses lives.
If (playersLives<=0){
//go to "GAME OVER BITCH" scene
} or something. I am clueless about actionscript. Good first try tho.
