All of the above actions earn you points which lead to star ratings, which get you teeth, which allow you to unlock other levels in the game as well as some tutorial videos and slightly weirder things like a meditation exercise to help you relax- and another to do just the opposite. The game overall has a very tongue-in-cheek presentation, with tutorial levels having a tape-rewinding sound at the end, [[LongTitle lengthy level and achivement names]], and humorous descriptions for said levels. The game even keeps track of bones broken, namely ''[[{{Squick}} all of them]]'' if you crash land.

** It gets worse in ''For The Awesome'', right into DarkerAndEdgier territory. ''Gravity'' implies your jumping is just a bit of harmless fun (apart from people dying, of course), but the plot of ''Awesome'' involves the authorities cracking down hard on the sport, making the new jumps protests as part of an active rebellion.
*** Though things get better in ''Ugly Baby'' (which takes place in the [=AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA=] continuity), where apparently the authorities just stop caring.

''[=AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAA=]!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity'', abbreviated as ''[=AaAaAA!!!=]'', is an indie game from Dejobaan Games, released in September of 2009.

Enter an AlternateHistory version of Boston, Massachusetts in the year 2011. In 1982, weird floating mountains and buildings descended from space and people now live in them. The player takes the role of a daredevil who BASE jumps off of these floating objects.

Gameplay consists of freefalling in First-Person view from the top of the level to the bottom, getting close to as many buildings or solid objects as possible on the way down. Each object you near earns you a "kiss". Staying near an object earns you "hugs." You can smash through colored scoring plates and smack into birds. After acquiring the relevant upgrades, you can give a thumbs-up to supporters, flip off protesters, use CaffeineBulletTime and spraypaint graffiti onto the sides of municipal structures. Oh, and you need to use a wingsuit to land safely, otherwise... [[NotTheFallThatKillsYou splat.]]

All of the above actions earn you points which lead to star ratings, which get you teeth, which allow you to unlock other levels in the game as well as some tutorial videos and slightly weirder things like a meditation exercise to help you relax- and another to do just the opposite. The game overall has a very tongue-in-cheek presentation, with tutorial levels having a tape-rewinding sound at the end, [[LongTitle lengthy level and achivement names]], and humorous descriptions for said levels. The game even keeps track of bones broken, namely ''[[{{Squick}} all of them]]'' if you crash land.

!!This VideoGame provides examples of:

* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: Well, not a battlefield per se. You do kill a few birds here and there.
* BottomlessPits: Miss the end-level landing plate(s) and you fall into one of these.
* CaffeineBulletTime: Slamming the triple espresso during gameplay will cause your screen to turn red, time to slow and [[InterfaceScrew Lights become MUCH brighter]]

* FlippingTheBird: The player character can give the British two-fingered variety to protesters objecting to his antics.

Their next game ([=AaAaAA!!!=] [[XMeetsY meets]] VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}) is called "1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby)".
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Remember to deploy your wingsuit! If you don't do it early enough, you won't offset your speed enough.
