This theme seems like it should be really easy (and it is) but I hate everything about it. Every single game is built on this theme, you start with nothing and gain things as you go. I don't want to do that, I need something more creative/abstract to do with this theme.

Am I complaining? A bit perhaps. I have lots of ideas but they are just games, they're not centered on this theme and I really want to do something that builds on the theme.

-End of rant

EDIT: Complaining is all it took… I have an idea but it may be too ambitious. We’ll see.
