So there's a game jam in like... 13 hours. There's a list of possible themes. Maybe you're thinking "I have no idea what to do for any of these themes!". Don't worry! I'm here to provide you with a list of some of the most idiotic ideas imaginable...

wait...

That's not helpful at all!

Delay the inevitable - A real-time strategy game about non-existence for the final 8 billion years of the heat-death of the universe.

Fragile - A tower defense game where you deploy increasingly more powerful publicists to protect Will Smith's ego from an onslaught of jokes. (Ooh...snarky AND topical!)

Make connections - A game about meticulously planning a trip across a major city using public transport. It's a text adventure. I mean, who doesn't love bus schedules?!?!

Mutation - A visual novel where you're a evolutionary biologist but everyone you meet is a hardline creationist... and you're just trying to find love, man. YOU JUST WANT SOME ONE TO LOOOOOOVE!

Teleportation - Just make Portal. Seriously, it's SO good.

A single resource - A social engineering game where you publish the phone numbers of your real life single friends on the internet and charge money for people to access it. Wait... EA just called me. This idea is now part of their IP.

Folklore - A quiz game where every question is about the hit Showtime TV series, Queer As Folk.

Shelter - A game where you play the final three days of life as a 13 year old dog abandoned at the local animal shelter before you are put down. Holy shit. This is the saddest fucking idea I've ever had. What is wrong with me?

Infestation - Two words. Ass. Spiders.

Road trip - Remember that film from like... the early 2000s? You know, it had Tom Green in it. Yeah, don't make that into a game - you'll get sued. Instead, how about a game where you and you sister are arguing while playing Connect Four and you have to win the argument and the game before your parents put a suitcase between you?

Tunnels - It's literally Fallout 3. But you play as Butch DeLoria in between the scenes where he interacts with "the main character". Seriously, Tunnel Snakes RULE!

Overgrown - It's a "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" game, but you end up stuck in a depressed man's body hair and have to fight gross shit like skin flakes and sweat gland eruptions. Ughhh.

Out of order - A physics-based QWOP style game about banging a gavel and desperately trying to manipulate your vocal chords into saying "You're out of order!"

Space is limited - A game about fitting oversized goods into your car boot (that's a trunk for Americans).

Combine - A manhunt meets postal slaughterfest about a farmer who's "been pushed too far" and his trusty combine harvester, Betsy.

Garden - A cleaning simulator set in Madison Square Garden after yet another disappointing loss by the New York Knicks. But it's also a subtle sabotage game, because the more the Knicks lose, the fewer people attend the games and the easier it is to clean the Garden. This may be the greatest game I've ever come up with. I have a single tear rolling down my che... wait... no. That's just a sweat eruption.

Anyway, I hope that sets a bar so low that any idea you come up with in 13 hours looks AMAZING!

Best of luck! Have fun!
