Hoping to get some good ideas, just about to brainstorm up some thoughts on this theme. Well, good luck to all!

Finally found an idea:

The player runs around in a top down shooter, but when they kill an enemy it explodes and creates a void thing that the player cannot walk on or they die. the goal will be to live as long as you can. killing enemies, but not so many that they consume all of the players space to move around in!

Got a menu song for my game done... but actually fast and action-y music is much harder for me.

The idea of the game is that the player kills enemies, but as the enemies die the player runs out of space to move.The goal being to live as long as possible and achieve the highest score.

Just finished my first ever game jam. feels great. I meant to write this, but I got too caught up playing other amazing games.

Its a small arcade style game where as you kill enemies in a top down shooter they explode into space-taking-up goo.

This has been so stressful, even though I have been pretty lucky on the bug/horrible mistakes side. However it really has been worth it, both to finally finish something after a long drought of starting over, and to actually put out something beyond the walls of my house, and get some feedback. Either way, I'd love to hear how other peoples firsts went!

I also wanted to say thanks to Blackthornprod who, although I'd been game Deving for years before, made a video about game jams that built up my resolve to try my first one!
