An idea is born…
So the theme for Ludum Dare #34 is a tie between “Two Button Controls” and “Growing.” I do not think this has happened before, please correct me if I am wrong.
Using one, using both, using one to limit one aspect of the game and the other to limit another aspect should allow for a greater challenge, hopefully resulting in greater creativity.
For “Two Button Controls” I can’t help but think of a mobile style game where you direct your character on screen by clicking on the left or right side of the screen. This would lend its self well to a flappy bird type of game, or some of the newer incantations.
For growing I can’t help but think of that old snake game, or perhaps a weed that is growing up the screen trying to reach daylight, all the while avoiding obstacles. The higher you get, the higher your score. The game would never end.
I’m really leaning towards that infini-tap keep the weed growing for as long as you can vibe!
