It's index-based encryption. Subtract the character's position in the word (1-indexed) from its ordinal value for alphabetic characters (a = 1, b = 2, etc.).

Code: (Python) [Select]
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

str = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
strs = str.split(" ")
dstr = []

alpha = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z".split(",")

for i in range(0, len(strs)):
s = strs[i]
index = 1
dstr.append('')
for c in s:
if c.isalpha():
dstr[i] += alpha[alpha.index(c.lower()) - index]
index += 1
else:
dstr[i] += c

print ' '.join(dstr)

This script will decode it and print it out in all lowercase, because I'm too lazy to handle cases. Enjoy.

I knew, but I didn't actually know what it was called and was too lazy to find out.

BEHOLD! MY SHITTY NEW WALLPAPER!

This one is Slog. Probably should have flip-flopped the green and purple, but overall I think it turned out better than the Cherish wallpaper. If I was truly ambitious I would have figured out how to embed the word "blorble" into every square inch of the background, but oh well.

Nah, just kidding. However, something neat this way comes.

Quick interpretation:
Another playable flash-update is coming up, or perhaps a side-story-game.

New objectives obtained:
There must be a hidden message in that song, too. Quick! To the ciphermobile!

Wow, it's clear that Nintendo games had inspired many things on you, FFS. That catchy music has a bit of Kondo's style in it.

Note that the sparkles in the image adhere to one of two forms without variation, could it be a code?

Obviously the hidden message is song itself.
We must study each individual note in the song, and find out what the notes spell out!

Could the sparkles on the image correspond to parts of the song?

That's not an update silly~ It's a screenshot. A few days ago FFS mentioned making a flash game in another thread, so I assume this must be it.
