Challenge 8: First Glance

Aww, Dan took the best ones. I guess that's what I get for taking too long.

Ok, so here goes:

Professional Balloon Training:
This is a game where you, a savvy sky captain of the Victorian skies, attempt to get your war-balloon license by competing in the London Steam-Balloon Training camp. Players learn to navigate their balloons early on in training stages, and then compete against their classmates for the ultimate prize, the SteamSchool Cup! The first of a series of games based in a Steampunk England setting, this game introduces players to the quirks of 19th century aero-navigation.

Unpleasent Dentist Party!:
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the dentist? Now you can know! Playing as the Evil Dentist Dr. Drillandfill, you and up to three friends compete to see who can cause their patients the most pain! Make sure you justify it though, because patients who are unhappy and unsatisfied will have their lawyers on you like bracers on a 13-year-old. Exclusively for the Wii.

Mary Kate and Ashley's Lowrider Spies:
I had to do this one. It would be wrong not to use such a gem of a name. In this mystery adventure for the Wii, our favorite detective twins, Mary Kate and Ashley are infiltrating a gang of lowriders in order to find out...um...that...I got nothing. I can't believe I am going to say this, but I need to actually play one of the Mary Kate and Ashley games to do this one. Forget that. NEXT!!!

ok, for reals this time.
Biblical Workout Carnage:
Fat is the work of the devil! In this Christian exergame for the wii, the player runs along the inside of their body, beating up the little devils that cause the fat. Running controls are done on the Wii Balance board, while the attacking and casting out of the demons is performed with the Wii-mote. The worse shape the player is in real life, the harder the game is. After all, they need it more!

Let me know which to expand on.

  1. Well, since you technically didn't finish the Mary Kate and Ashley one.... you could obviously expand on that one. ;)

    On the one hand, I don't want to make you play a Mary Kate and Ashley game/watch their movies...

    ...but on the other hand I certainly have to do similar research tasks at my gig at 1P already. ;)


    But that said, out of the ones you did do seriously, Biblical Workout Carnage seemed like the most interesting and fun idea to expand on.

    Unpleasant Dentist Party second-- I love the idea of having to inflict maximum suffering on your patients without going so far as that they realize that you're just screwing with them... the justified-sounding torture element could make for some really interesting and twisted gameplay.

  2. My vote goes to Unpleasant Dentist Party. I love Dr. Drillandfill's name and the whole premise sounds fantastic! Well done!
