  9. #badgameideas : Rule discovery game themed around Valve's developer commentary-mode. You find commentary nodes, figure out what the dev is commentating on, use that knowledge to find more nodes, and figure out what was going on with the game's development.

  15. Sprinting Sisyphus: an infinite runner game where you're pushing a boulder uphill while dodging obstacles. The obstacles come at you ever faster, but instead of damage, each hit knocks your character's speed asymptotically towards zero.

    If you reach the top of the hill you get one point and the boulder rolls back downhill.

  25. OK also I realized I can literally do a podcast by myself lol. So if anyone has prompts for *me* for a "Bad Game Idea", post it here.

    Basically, I just come up with titles for nonsensical games. First episode was "Horse Divorce". Some other titles I've thought of are "Murder at the Murder Party", "FOAL-gettaboutit", etc.

    So I just need a prompt (JUST A TITLE) from someone else on a silly game name, and I can record myself brainstorming a game idea for a 15 min podcast. ;P
