Pac-men power couple Edition
2 pac-men are controlled simultaneously. Instead of lives there is a strike count. No power pellets, you eat ghosts by crossing over them from different directions. If one pac-man dies, the other slowly begins to decelerate. The dead pac-man can return to the maze from the ghost house as a ghost, but it can only quickly push pac-man or a ghost before it disintegrates and has to return to the ghost house. There are also specials walls in the maze that the ghosts can move through.

A game where you play as a character who would normally be an NPC, and you kill the main character of the narrative halfway through the story, and the world starts falling apart around you because the narrative canāt move forward in the way it was supposed to. This is never made explicit though - things just start getting really weird and nothing really makes sense, and the game ends in an extremely unsatisfying way.

honestly i think this might just be Hotline Miami except they take it a step further by letting you play the alternate reality where motorcycle guy wins the battle and then giving you a deeply unsatisfying second ending. I just kinda wish the second ending wasnāt āyouāre a bad person for playing this game yoā

Primordial Toad: Mushroom Identifier
Somewhere in World 2 of smb3 there is a shady oasis below an empty block. You are a tiny, weak, lightweight, mycological creature. You can jump your own base height, lift a semisolid grain of sand, and pop a bubble at your base max fall speed. Mushrooms have granular effects on your stats, but also have random colors and behaviors.
The beetles and flowers have a symbiotic relationship. The empty block is the end game dungeon.

a game that has pseudo-online features where you leave notes for other players, but they all have to be in the form of environmental storytelling graffiti

sometimes i think iād get more into a JRPG where the atmosphere of the home town is dour, dysfunctional and deranged, and the outside world in general has more comfort to offer

This looks like one of those āin-worldā exposition scrawlings you find in pretty much every AAA thriller these days (L4D safe houses etc.)

sometimes try to imagine a 3D game in which all three dimensions are distinctly meaningful from a mechanical perspective. in many 2D genres like platformer/fighting/artillery the dimensions canāt be interchanged because the force of gravity only acts on the vertical coordinate. so for 3D iām thinking maybe you could have a central mechanic that interacts with East-West day/night cycles, North-South magnetic fields, or even tidal forces

New DooM clone. Limited or no free look, but no auto aim either, aiming reticule has a window span it can move freely in. Lateral map design with some non-Euclidean geometry.
Pinball where the ball is a water dragon roe trying to reach the peak of the mountain. Graphed like a bipyramid where the lower end is a hub.
