option A: pizza-making sim, physics-based, where you get increasingly elaborate orders & have to keep the toppings from falling off. #ldjam

option B: space-invaders-y shooter where your defeated enemies pile up at the bottom of the screen and push you closer to the action. #ldjam

of the two, B sounds more definitely achievable and would give me more time to do good art, but A has a significant whimsy advantage. #ldjam

B sounds way more fun to me, though

maybe—I could see it being near equivalent to any other space invaders game, though. not sure rising floor would change the gameplay enough.

Maybe geometry wars style but instead it blocks your path?

I haven’t played Geometry Wars in ages—how would that work? is the rule that live enemies hurt you when you touch them and dead ones don’t?

Live enemies hurt you. Dead enemies explode with glorious particle effects that don’t kill you, except for a few specific ones. For this I could see it going both ways. Some enemies would just be a road block while others would be a mine or something.
