Magnum by jsspiegel
Beneath the surface of New York City, hundreds of pounds of trash are thrown onto subway tracks each day. The evil fashion mogul Mugatu is transforming this trash into high fashion in his new clothing line Derelicte, but at the expense of thousands of underpaid Malaysian child laborers. When the wage-hike supporting Prime Minister of Malaysia comes to watch the fashion show, Mugatu tries to brainwash the really, really, really, really, really ridiculously good-looking model Derek Zoolander to kill the Prime Minister, but Zoolander's rival-turned-friend Hansel thwarts Mugatu's assassination attempt. Mugatu takes matters into his own hands, insulting Zoolander and trying to kill the Prime Minister himself. However, hiding just beneath the surface of Derek Zoolander lies the one thing that stands between the Prime Minister and Mugatu's branded shuriken: Zoolander's ultimate look, Magnum.

Note 2: I've been getting multiple reports of the game not launching or the key presses not registering. I'm super sorry about this, and it really pains me that people are having trouble with it. I've also experienced on my own computer (though thankfully no one has reported a case of this yet) that the game is running extremely slow. I'm doing my best to fix these issues, but I currently have no idea what could be causing them. I acknowledge that I may not be able to fix them, and deeply apologize.
Note 3: Thanks to @Moosefly, I've been able to fix the fact that the game is running so slowly! The downloads available are now both fixed! I think! I hope!

@KevinWorkman: Hmm, I keep getting reports of that. What OS are you on, and what version (eg. Windows 7, 8, etc.)? Sorry about that inconvenience, I have no idea why it's happening!

@Moosefly: If you're willing to go into the code, there are two things you can try. First, try commenting out the lines "Music = minim.loadFile("MagnumMusic.mp3");
Music.loop();". @garygreen said that music might make it run slowly, and those are the lines that play the music. The other thing that might help is commenting out the line "frameRate(21);". I locked the framerate to 21 frames per second because I noticed it was running way too fast on some computers, and I neglected to make it framerate independent.

Nice but short.
