Ideas for the final round of themes...
1. Start with nothing You start as a spirit, and have to gather body parts to be able to complete different tasks.
2. Unconventional travel Play as a frog, you're too lazy to jump, so you use your tongue to pull yourself around.
3. Side effects Shooting enemies make them move faster, missed shots spawn extra enemies, power-ups hurt you when collected.
4. Small character, big enemies You're a tiny ant, but you're also part of a huge colony, and together you can overpower even the biggest enemies.
5. Factory You work in a automated factory, and need to program the robots to complete their tasks.
6. Shelter The zombie apocalypse has come, but your home is falling apart, you must keep repairing it to survive.
7. One item, many uses You have a magic goo that can be shaped into anything you can think of, use it to overcome obstacles, as a key to a puzzle, or as a weapon.
8. Night is coming You decided to go for a walk, but it's getting late, and you're afraid of the dark, you must get back home.
9. Making connections You're an electronics repairer, you must fix the the wiring correctly, but you're also under pressure to fix as much stuff as possible, as fast as possible, because you get paid for each item you fix.
10. Isolation Your car has broken down in the middle of nowhere, help is coming, but you must survive the night first.
11. Duplication You control two identical characters at the same time, but in different places, you need to make sure both can get to the goal without the other getting hurt.
12. Mutation A science experiment has gone wrong, now your body is slowly mutating, and you must create an antidote before it's too late.
13. Low Tech All the power in the city is off, and you're stuck at the top of a futuristic skyscraper, you must resort to using whatever you can to escape.
14. Take one, leave the rest Collect tons of power-ups, but only take one to fight the final boss.
15. Evolve to survive Find food, grow bigger, gain new abilities, fight other creatures, and become the dominant life form.
Something I noticed as I was writing this, was that themes 3, 6, and 12 were also in the final round for last LD... (in fact I just copy-pasted my previous idea for theme 3 :smile:)
Overall quite a nice selection of themes, the only ones I personally don't like are 5 and 15, just because there isn't much room for creative interpretation with those.
