Don’t be obsessed with theme, or name, just make a game.
Many years ago, i’ve persuaded my cousin, that when he saw a “S” on the map in a game, it shows the way to our town (Sarapul), and he many times tried to reach it in GTA. So… the theme- is just a word, and you only must persuade players, that all the game is around the Theme :slight_smile:

That’s been a pitfall for me in the past because most of the time the themes I’m most excited for don’t get picked.

There’s a few interesting themes being voted on right now. I hope I have some time this weekend to create something if the theme is right.

Theme: “The more you have, the worse it is”

I can think of a few games around that theme. Now I only need time…

Germinator is my attempt at something for LD40. The aim of the game is to zap spreading germs with a laser before they take over completely. It’s not terribly original or enjoyable yet but the core gameplay is working.

How’s everyone else getting on?

You could probably make this into a puzzle game where each germ you popped also grew adjacent cells so you would have to pop the germs in the right order to clear the board.

I have an idea and an empty project… Hope to code tonight!

Finished my effort. Well, as far as I want to take it.

Have a go - I guarantee it’ll hold your attention for upwards of 30 seconds :rofl:
