Avoiding Uncharted

In this game you must avoid playing the PlayStation 4 game called Uncharted 4 - A Thiefs End. You've been harassed to play this game for ages and are about ready to cave, you must come up up with new ways to avoid it. You absolutely hate the PlayStation controls as you've grown up playing real consoles with proper analogue setup, you would almost feel dirty using it. You must convince your girlfriend to play other games to keep her entertained and not think of the stud muffin we know as Nathan Drake. if you cannot manage to do this you will eventually have to give in to her persistent demands and play it and probably end up having a good time doing so but your pride will be so bruised as you've stood your ground for so long.

Dirty Masticators

You work for a security company, Shanolo, as a body guard and they have recently got a new client, Chewie, Chewie particular hates people eating with their mouths open. Your sole purpose in this game is to go around the restaurants and close peoples mouths for them. The louder the chewer the more you new client will tip you, how far away they are from they client will also come into consideration in the loudness and also the tip. Each outing for dinner or lunch and as to where you go will depend on how many people will be there eating with there mouth open. Certain establishments on Kashyyyk may not be very a happy with you messing with their patrons so there will be some element of stealth to the game but also with a bit of haste as your client hates this noise.

Are you ok?

A week ago today is my one of my best mates birthdays, unfortunately I cannot wish him happy birthday as several years ago he took his own life. To all of us it was a big shock and out of the blue as he was one of the happiest guys you'll ever meet. Never without a smile on his face, it absolutely broke my heart when I heard the news and thought it was a joke. The thought of him thinking he had no one to talk to this about was devastating.

This game is all about asking your mates if they're O.K. you may never know what's on your mates mind if you don't ask. It takes you 2 seconds to see if your mate needs to talk about anything. The sole purpose of this games is to just let your mates that you're there, Each morning you be randomly given friend of yours from a starting group and you will have to go out of your way to tell them something nice about themselves. If you do not complete these you will not be able to progress further into the game.



Do your time.

In this game your objective is to create as much damage and destruction you can whilst escaping prison. You will have a time limit and a damage meter which will give you an overall score if you manage to escape. You will be able to start riots to distract the guards making it somewhat easier to escape as long as the fellow inmates aren't trying to kill you also. Your player will be able to parkour style manoeuvre around the prison if need be, allowing for a very wide range of ways to escape. If you do not manage to escape in time you will be out back into your cell as if nothing has happened but if you are playing the more serious mode for the hardcore gamers you will slowly incur more and more penalties for every failed attempt until you have to completely restart your game.




Prof Dick.

You've recently started your new job as a professor and your students are assholes. You must fight the urge to lose it at your students and do your best to teach them in a polite and professional manner. Your RageOmeter will show how much the students are annoying you. if you do not calmly sort them out this will increase and you will fail with and explosive rage fit at them, Each term your students will take tests and based on how well you have treated them and how much they have paid attention to you teaching will depend on how well they do in their test which ultimately gives you your score for the game. The assholes will try all different tactics to annoy you, ranging from things such as talking in class to not even turning up.



This is a 2D game where the player has to get form left to right in each room/level, doesn't seem overly hard right? Well the player will eventually come to a part of the room which he cannot jump over. With as simple push of a button the room/level will flip entirely upside down and he will then effectively be on the roof but without him technically changing position. As the levels progress there will be enemies shooting and moving from right to left making it harder form the player to be able to navigate the levels properly. The first two levels will be the tutorial to get you hooked on the game as the other 48 levels will only be available through micro transactions. Alternatively, you will be able to pre-order as you can already tell this game is amazing. If you are able to beat the game you will be given a well done screen followed with the unskippable credits.

Picture for reference, not the game itself.



Silent but Deadly

In this game your objective to empty your 'Gas O Meter' completely before time runs out. This is done by letting farts go as often as you can without being noticed, you gain extra style points for letting it out next to someone as this will take a lot more stealth. Your farts will come in different categories of stench, the worse the fart the more points you will get for effecting someone with it, e.g. having someone choke and cough or make a "Poo that stinks comment". Your score will not be taken into account to move onto the next level, it will only be about the time limit. The score will only be for bragging rights as to who is the better crop duster.

The final level will be meeting your girlfriends parents at dinner, better hope its not a loud one.


BloodShed

This is a game solely based on violence. In this post apocalyptic game where everything is run by ravagers, your objective is to just fuck shit up. You will be given style points for how creative and brutal you can kill these people that have been laying waste to the other survivors. There will be over 3200 weapons to use on your killing spree and if you're able to find a working vehicle then even better. The more ravagers you kill then the more you level up, this will make you stronger, more proficient with your weapons you will be and you will also unlock unique and brutal ways to kill such as a cinematic of a shotgun to the back of the head. Obviously with that example this game would be banned in several countries


The DohBro Quest

You've just discovered that your flatmate, Hadley, fiends for playing Runescape and drinking putrid Double Brown beers, however on this one fateful night of DohBros, Runescape and chill, the supply of DohBros has run dry. Seeing as Hadley has helped you in the past getting to the toilet while sloshed off your face, you decide to repay the favor by going on a journey to find him some more DohBros so can continue playing Runescape. You must search the local booze shops for Haldeys gold, once found, you try to persuade the shop keep by offering to trim his shirt but he declines. The faster you are able to complete this the better as the DohBros need to be returned before Hadleys buzz completely wares off. If you can return them in the fastest possible time then he rewards you with a full set of Dragon armor.

Beer goggles.

You're objective is to solve the murders that take place only in bars and pubs. You will be able to do this in the normal detective search everything fashion but you also have a trick up your sleeve compared to the other detectives. You have Beer Goggles, the beer goggles will act like a blacklight in sense. They will show things not visible to the naked eye, the more murders you solve the more you will be able to upgrade your beer goggles. You will be able to get upgrades such as seeing a brief moment of the fight or whatever caused the murder. When you solve the murder you will get a cutscene of how it happened ( which will be skippable ) and you will be given the case files and taken to the next par or pub.

Flingy

Platform: Mobile, VR

Genre: Casual

Pay wave is the new way to do things, so you've taken the challenge to pay wave in creative ways such as flinging your card as if you were throwing a playing card.

The challenge will be to fling your card and hit the eftpos machine at the counter. This will slowly get harder as you will start to get further away and you will have to manoeuvre your card around objects. If you throw your card a miss then the price you are trying to pay will increase, which will in turn give you a worse score overall. Other challenges will include a time limit as your pesky girlfriend has the audacity to think she can pay for you. Jokes on her cause you're a flinging master ;)

Your goal in this game is to be the very best like no one ever was, to do this youll have to to wrap them all. They parcels that need to be wrapped will come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes wrapping m will go wrong and you'll be forced to let it go. People will also be competeing to be the best wrapper so you need to bring your A game when it comes to speed and percision. Challenges are faced when the parcel to be wrapped is worth a lot more than expected, so you will have to take the time to ensure it is well protected. Speed is also a key factor here as there is so many parcels youll need to keep up with wrapping them all before the days end. At the end of the day youll be able to see every parcel you wrapped in your WrapperDex which will display everything about the parcel sent.



Escalator Dash

Escalator Dash is where you're challenged to run up the wrong way. The goal is to there reach the end before the time limit, at first it will be relatively simple but as the game progresses the length of the escalator will increase. After a few successful runs the escalator will shorten but people will be added to it, you can opt to avoid them or push them over the side, however, if you decide to push them off will be faster as you have your shoving technique sorted. Theres a catch to this however, as this will be a mobile game, it will randomly take your friends Facebook pictures and add them to the people coming down the escalator. Can you handle shoving your friends off of the escalator to a certain injury of some sort?


Teeth Defence

In this game you'll have to defend the set of teeth against harmful germs and plaque. At the begging of the game it will be very slow paced allowing the player to get used to what they have to do. They will be given a bunch of cleaning materials such as a brush, floss and mouth wash. Certain germs or plaque will need to be removed with a certain tool depending on where it lies on the teeth. The tools will be used as anyone normally does. As the game moves forward the more plaque and germs hitting the teeth will get faster and faster until you finally can't keep up, the teeth will slowly decay so you can tell how close you are to failing, once the teeth are gone then thats game over. A difficulty to the game could be how fast the teeth decay if you can't get rid of the germs fast enough


Ever wonder how every single time you put your earphones in your pocket they always come out tangled? Well this game is exactly how. You will start in the pocket in a randomised state every time to simulate just being unplugged and thrown in there. You'll will control the earphones as if you're a snake, slipping and sliding all over the place, clicking and dragging certain areas around like a rag doll. Depending on how fast the flesh being can untangle it will depend on your overall result and performance. Increasing the difficulty will change the type of earphones you have to tangle as more expensive ones have an anti tangle cable. Also being in a smaller pocket will give you less room to move making it harder to maneuver the serpent like cord.

Splashed out


This is a game that only occurs in certain occasions. When you're out and about with your mates and then suddenly get caught in the rain. You've been absolutely drenched and try to make the best out of the situation. You and your mates must then use the puddles around you to splash each other, the sopping-wet-ometer will determine the winner, if you're the driest you win. If you happen to splash and innocent by stander you will incur their sopping-wet-ometer total onto yours as a penalty. Challenges to the game would be finding the right puddle, if there even is one. You could also be at an immediate advantage by haven't flat topped shoes on that spray the water a lot better.

Ever worked in retail and heard "the customer is always right" and knowing that its absolute rubbish, well this game is for you.

You'll be serving customers like normal but your objective is to slip as many stupid words in as you can without them noticing. Take the classic 'meow' instead of 'now' from SuperTroopers as a prime example. The more stupid things you can say the better your overall grade will be for the service, having the customer notice will bring it down a little and if they completely catch on you'll not only fail the grading but lose the customer and your manager will not be happy about that. Having the manager not be happy about this will force him to keep an eye on you while working and this will make it a lot harder to keep your grade up. You'll have to be super witty with what you say. Happy customer trolling.

This game is basically a first person Sims game, you'll be able to build and customise your house and environment as you please. However, the objective in the game is to wreak as much havoc as you can. You'll be provided with a full arsenal of tools, guns and explosives, you name it, its at your disposal. You'll be graded on your destruction and how quickly you can do it. Certain challenges may be causing a certain amount of damage in a time limit only using the specified tools.There will be multiple play modes so that you can freely made anything you wish and destroy it without the time limit if you so please. This is not an overly challenging game, more meant as a stress release, but I think being able to create whatever environment you want would be fun. I'd make Media Design School first ;)

Split

Split is a game where you play as a jelly looking being that is able to split himself into smaller blobs to be able to pass certain areas that have been restricted for his full size. These will be side scrolling maps so you will be able to keep an eye on all of him at all times as the scoring to the game will be based on how much of him you can get to the end. There will be hazards that can kill off bits of him and possibly entirely all of him. You can only control the forward most blob of him so the puzzle to the map will have to be worked out in order to go back and collect the rest of him to achieve a decent score.

WASD

This is a simple to navigate maze that's not so simple. As you progress through this game the mazes get harder and harder to navigate, but this is not the real challenge. The real challenge is that the arrows keys of WASD which you would normally use as up, down, left and right will now be randomly switched every set period of time. W could now be left and S may now be up. This would keep the player on their toes and ready for the switch which will be a displayed countdown. I believe this would be enough of a challenge as it is so I would like to keep the mazes relatively easy until the player fully understands what will be happening after the countdown timer

Programming Simulator

In this game your objective is to fully understand programming for games. Can you manage? The game is quite lengthy, 3 years to be exact, so don't worry you've got some time. This game slowly progresses in difficulty, it's basically split into 3, 1 year blocks, each one being harder than the previous. They way to win is to complete the course with a passing mark, the game itself has checkpoints to see how well you're understanding, they call them tests but we all know they're checkpoints. If you put the time and effort in it doesn't seem so bad, but can you manage the other challenges that come with it? Challenges like Math, or Game Development etc all these things leave you with less time to understand programming but it is still definitely do-able.
