comment
My "Dear" Boss is an Adobe Flash video game by Origaming published in 2012. The game has you play as an employee who keeps getting his ideas refused by his boss. Frustrated, he decides to kick the boss as revenge. To do just that, you have to click a button as the kick-o-meter is as close to the center possible. Along the way, he will get hit by birds, dogs, protesters, ex-employees, cars, and more. After each run, you can buy upgrades and new shoes to reach three goals, those being the boss's house, a hospital and the cemetery.

Fanfare: Once the boss shows up from space as a superhero, the game punctuates it with a resounding "da da dah!"

Sarcastic Title: The boss is not held in high regard or kind, therefore the employee kicks him for revenge, which is partly why the the title uses quotation marks.

Permanently Missable Content: If you don't get the achievement for making the boss land in poo 5 times before buying the "Anti Poo" upgrade, that achievement becomes impossible to get due to that upgrade getting rid of it.

Shabby Heroes, Well-Dressed Villains: The boss wears a suit and tie, and while the employee's button-down shirt, tie, slacks and sweater vest are appropriate business casual, he loses his shirt if he's upgraded enough, and can go barefoot if you purchase and equip that upgrade.

Moving the Goalposts: Reach the boss's home at 100000 m? Now reach the hospital at 500000 m in the next launch. Did that? Get him to the cemetary at 1000000 m. The game pushes new goals like this two times and puts them on the progressbar.

Luck-Based Mission
 My / int_98b1dc8f
comment
Luck-Based Mission: Getting to the end requires you to have good luck causing the boss to hit things that will catapult him further, since a good initial kick only gets you so far. The achievement for your boss hitting poo five times is entirely dependent on luck. You can increase the odds of encountering other things by purchasing upgrades, but the only upgrade that concerns the poo removes it entirely.
