Now again, yes they may be slightly over rated but hey, they have reason to be.

I compiled a list of all the platformers I enjoyed (minus the ones already mentioned).
Special Agent - Okay, a very nice game to play is Special Agent. It's based on a pretty old MS-DOS game called Secret Agent (which is kinda like Crystal Caves, maybe you know about one of those games). The level design's pretty intelligent.

Then there's Treasure Tower, a one-of-a-kind game where you have to get through a lot of floors in a castle as quickly as possible. Be too slow and die. Smart level design once again, and it doesn't become boring quickly because of all the different floors.

A Mini Falafel Adventure, the original game which inspired Zan-Zan. I actually find it less fun to play than Zan-Zan, but you can try out both anyway. http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=6646
Spuds Quest - A Dizzy-INSPIRED game where you die less quickly and the environment feels more like F-Dizzy than the older ones is Spuds Quest. It's a pretty long (~4 hrs) puzzle/platform game in which you have to get three golden items for the king. Very enjoyable (a newer, even longer version is in the making! )

Buzz the Squirrel 2 is a SNESish/Mega drive-ish platformer, with some nice level design and things to play with. Having to restart the level when you die can be pretty frustrating though.

[quote]I know what liberalism means in america, but that is not the original political meaning of the term and not how it's "generally used" in other parts of the world. I don't have an obsession, but I am a history teacher and am supposed to know these things. [/quote]
Bullshit, I'm from Europe to begin with(as are you I presume from your name) and I still know what Liberal means. Liberal, as a literal meaning, to be liberal with things, matches up somewhat decently with the western US definition, so I need no reason to force an older definition. Liberal is Liberal in the same sense that "Liberation" is used; Liberals are those who are interested in securing the most, or more often the best(as many conservative "rights" crusades tend to involve things like heavy arms and the freedom for religions to persecute people) freedoms.
The problem is that even if you definition of Liberalism is historyically valid, most people won't know it. It comes off as rather arrogant when there is something else that's best described by "Liberalism".
There are times when name definitions annoy me - for instance, I listen to Goth music which conjures up images of Marliyn Manson and Slipknot and mall kiddies, not the expiremental alternative rock/ambient genres that fell under that umbrella in the late 70s, 80s and 90s. But this is annoying because one is a direct and almost purposeful misrepresentation of the other - it's not a generic word that best describes both "scenes".
Most people playing your game will be endlessly confused and just see it as shooting liberals that have been somehow miscast(especially since the main characters are hicks).
The American use of the word Liberal "makes sense". You've still yet to explain what your version of Liberal actually means, you claim to want to spread History yet seem to show little to no actual interest in doings so.
Again, what's universally referred to as NeoLiberalism much better matches up with what you're saying. Economic liberalism, which is right wing, usually makes better bed mates with social authoritarianism(keep in mind that "small government" doesn't automatically mean less authoritarianism, as many for small government still want old traditions forced on people, whether it be socially or directly through government.)

Check out my Telekinesis'em'up Thread and the ALICE Machines -
Maybe the Liberal thing is ironic? I dunno, when I played Bernard and Hank I just left my pomposity at the door and played a fun platformer without reading into any political connotations. Maybe that's just me?
Wow dude, I just took one meaning (the meaning generally used in my country and indeed connected to a fake account) and used it in my game. People who get upset by that CRACK ME UP. Especially people who use words like "hicks" when they are talking about family farmers. There is no "best described". Some people like to be liberal with economy, some people like to be liberal with culture and some of them like to be liberal with their penis. It's just a stupid little game, get over it.
"you claim to want to spread History yet seem to show little to no actual interest in doings so"
I don't claim to want to spread history, I AM spreading history on a highschool, which I do with love and doesn't have anything to do with my freeware games. I am a nice intelligent guy in the classroom and an arrogant asshole on the internet.

Also very short, though it comes with a somewhat functional level editor.
