Hey there!

I'm sorry if there is a similar thread elsewhere. I couldn't find it!

I just thought it could be fun to write any game idea that comes to mind (the more out of whack, the better) that can be described in less than one paragraph.

It's not meant to be about groundbreaking ideas, just some fun brainstorming. Don't take anything seriously, and feel free to rate each other's ideas.

I'll start:

--Zombie tycoon game

It would be based on an apocalyptic zombie scenario, except instead of survival, it's about harnessing the power of zombies in a tycoon game way. Build contraptions that zombies can power up with their own motion (from a chariot powered by zombies following a brain on a stick to zombie-driven generators). Of course the bigger the number of zombies you use and the more powerful they are, the higher chance something will backfire, so you also have to make traps, baits to redirect "zombie flow" and so on.

Yeah, that came up more stupid than I initially thought. Your turn!

I've always liked the idea of a futuristic RTS where your goal is to run a company that specializes in getting planets ready for colonization, whether that be through terraforming, pacification of existing species or whatever. You would have a small oversight team for each mission that would comprise of scientists, engineers and military personnel. What buildings and units you can build in each mission is mostly determined by which personnel you choose for your oversight team.

A Tower Defense game where you are the spawn attacking the castle. There would be multiple creature types that are, of course, strong against certain defenses and weak against others. You'd have a limited number of waves to send out to try and breach the fortress, while the game gets currency off your units to improve it's own structures.

And you could just call the game "Tower Attack".

Guillotine, firing squad, electric chair, lethal injection.

Basically the game Hangman but a different form of execution with each new word.
