Hi, I am a new games developer and developing a bug squish program. the game is such that, there are 10 bugs, which the user squishes and once all 10 bugs are dead, the game ends. I need your help to brainstorm ideas, like what features would you, as a gamer, would like to see in this simple program? thanks for your input

Thanks,Swtsvn

What motivates me for playing your game?

There's nothing inherently fun in squishing bugs—what could make me play the first game is the curiosity of seeing what happens when I squish all ten. Once I'm done, though, I'm not going to try it again—there would be nothing left to explore.

So, find something that would change significantly from one game to the next, so that I am tempted to replay.

I think developers already have enough bugs to kill TYVM ;)
