Game Challenge 11: Digital Game 1-2 Players

So this is a game idea I have had for a while, in which two players are attempting to move through two different mazes. The trick is, each maze has something the other player needs!

The goal of the game is to get the Koalas to the end of the maze without getting them shaved by the buzz saws! Collecting stars as you go increases the amount of points you get.

The music in the game is of course Basshunter, so be sure to turn up the volume and drive your fellow classmates insane!

Player one moves with Up, Left, Down, and Right arrow keys.
Player two moves with W, A, S, D Keys.

Revised Game: Business Card

I would like to apologize again to my group for this not being up earlier, read my previous post for the reasons why of course.


So my original game for the business cards I took to mean something other than the actual assignment meant. I made a game that used cards that were about the size of a business card, but that wasn't quite enough.

Based on the feedback of the game however, I decided to revise it and make it better, not necessarily follow the rules of the assignment.

For the revised game, I decided to change the dice to a D8, meaning players could have the option to be required to make 4 sets instead of just 3. Amount of matches needed based on the dice is listed below:
1 or 5: 1 match needed to earn points
2 or 6: 2 matches needed to earn points
3 or 7: 3 matches needed to earn points
4 or 8: 4 matches needed to earn points

I also increased the deck size from just 32 cards to 64. This is a large increase, doubling the size, and also making the game last longer.

I really liked some of the ideas that came about for the first rendition of this game, sadly I can't give erasable cards so players can make new ones each game! This is quite a disappointment in my opinion, as everyone seemed to really enjoy making the cards!

Game Challenge 10: Socially Conscious Game

First, I would like to apologize to my group for not getting this up sooner, as most if not all of you know, my mother was in the hospital to have a tumor removed and we are still unsure if it is a cancer or not. I have had other things on my mind.

Anyway, the game I came up with is based on the human physiology, in the fact that we are all machines, just made up of different materials.

The game is played with each player needing to construct one Lego person.

To start, each player has the torso for the character, they are missing the arms, hands, head, and legs. Players will take turns rolling a D4 dice to move around the play board and trying to collect each piece to complete their person before the other players. First person to achieve this, wins!

The game can be made more difficult for players by adding accessories for the characters, such as needing to complete the helmet and giving their character a cape and weapon.
