Hello everyone! I'm in a bit of a pickle and am offering Viz to whoever can get me out of it. So here's the biz, I'm making an app and have everything I need except for one thing, a puzzle concept, like the object of the game for example, Angry birds throw the birds at the pigs, candy crush, match the colors, cut the rope, drop the candy on the monster. That's what I need. Your idea will most likely be altered, I just need the inspiration. Whoever can post a good ORIGINAL puzzle, will be awarded 500 viz, if nothing works for my needs, or I'm not inspired, no Viz will be awarded, No idea will be completely rejected, any form of telling me any kind of puzzle whatsoever might be just what I need, so please don't hold back. The winner's name will be posted in the games credits, and if the puzzle is good enough , I won't hesitate to add hundreds of Viz into the prize. Thanks, and good luck! Oh, and feel free to ask as many questions as you want about any relevant subject!

How about a game where you have a set of objects and position them so that they'll form a certain shape if the gravity is flipped? Maybe differently-colored objects do different things (red stays still, green turns itself upside down when gravity is flipped, blue destroys the first object it touches)? If this is a good usable concept, I'd like a little more than 500.

Have you tried the game VVVVVV?  If you haven't, then try it, it's a fantastic game that involves a gravity-flipping concept (thanks for the jolt, 9-Volt!).  Imagine that game in 3D.  Now you can not only flip up and down, but also shift gravity left or right 90 degrees.  See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0jLV5DprZY  Perhaps it wouldn't be quite that ambitious, but it could really work in a more simple fashion.

How about a puzzle game where the pictures of Pokémon from generations 1-5 are all mixed up and you have to put the pictures of Pokémon from generations 1-5 back together again!

Wow! Those are some brilliant ideas! I'm going to wait a little longer just to see if anyone else has an idea or two. ty

 P.S. Pokémon is copyrighted and I have very little budget so I can't make a 3d game but the gravity reversal and picture based puzzles are still in consideration thanks guys!

I don't think there will be any more. It's been a while since this thread opened.

I think I'll still wait, I don't think I've got enough content to use based on your suggestions

How about a tilting game, where you are some character (that is probably spherical), and you control them through a stage. When you tap the screen, they could attack an enemy in your way, when you flick the iPod up, they jump, etc. Kinda like Kirby's Tilt n Tumble, or Kirby: Canvas Curse. Then, you can take the character through different stages, and try to collect certain treasures. If you collect all the treasures in the stage, you can unlock the final, ultimate stage! If the player cannot obtain all the treasures (make them really hard to find), you can ask to pay for the final stage. Just some ideas..

You could try one of those "Escape the Room" type games. There simplistic puzzles stump many, and the meaning behind them can vary. Sometimes, it's dark and gloomy, sometimes it's kinda upbeat. Other times, it's up to the player to fill in the emptiness. If you pick this type of puzzle game, you can go in many different directions with it. It could prove interesting.

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck, and hope this was helpful. Let me know what the game is called when it's done. I might want to check it out.

How about a turn-based top down space shooter? The objective would be getting a highscore or completing levels. The player moves around a grid in 8 direction or left and right avoiding lasers and projectiles while planning ahead. There woud be no point in having weapons but collcting energy or crates or something would increase the score so peope get highscore. The projectiles would move down, to the side or diagonal and their image would show this like if it goes diagonal it is like / and if it goes to side it is like -. Rogue was like this back in 1980 so it must be an simple concept.



I explain further: imagine that you play chess and you only have the king while the enemy has unlimited peasants but the peasant now ves diagonal or to side and only attacks what collided with it. So when they corner the king with a tricky formation then it's game over.

EDIT:Here is a graphical illustration of my idea 

Well, with study on more than just your ideas (although they were helpful) I've decided on a puzzle. Although It's none of the ones shown here I'll give Viz to anyone who inspired me. To see which one I chose, you'll just have wait and see it on the app store.
