Note: Decided the office-crab challenge was so fun I had officially made it last week's challenge. Congrats to Dan for actually winning the prize! This challenge has been bumped up to be for this week now. :)
Last challenge went so awesomely, we're going to continue mixing things up.
This next challenge is a bit more... out there:
Rom Check Fail is an interesting little indie game you should go check out right now. Basically, the game mixes together classic video games-- one second you might be the ship from Asteroids, flying around in the Pac-man maze, shooting at Goombas from Super Mario Bros, and suddenly the game flips again and now you're Link, trying to battle the space invaders in the Mushroom kingdom.
The game keeps taking various game characters and their associated mechanics and putting them into different contexts.
So, your challenge this week is to create another similar pairing not already in Rom Check Fail-- in other words put the player character from classic game A into classic game B.
What would Super Mario Bros. be like if the Bionic Commando had to rescue the princess instead, with his lack of jumping ability but his special grappling hook arm? What if the square from Adventure had to defeat the Sinistar? (I'd imagine he'd be pretty screwed, is what... )
Unlike Rom Check Fail which pairs mechanics randomly, you are actively designing a pairing-- challenge yourselves to make a combination that's fun, and maybe even better than the original mechanics.
