So the theme for Ludum Dare #34 is a tie between \u201cTwo Button Controls\u201d and \u201cGrowing.\u201d\u00a0 I do not think this has happened before, please correct me if I am wrong.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

For \u201cTwo Button Controls\u201d I can\u2019t 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.\u00a0 This would lend its self well to a flappy bird type of game, or some of the newer incantations.<\/p>\n

For growing I can\u2019t 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.\u00a0 The higher you get, the higher your score.\u00a0 The game would never end.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really leaning towards that infini-tap keep the weed growing for as long as you can vibe!<\/p>","time":"December 11th, 2015 9:35 pm","title":"An idea is born\u2026"}
