frog life / frog quest / froggy, king of frogs

being an amphibian is a tough job, starting out as an egg and going through many changes to eventually reach adulthood, you wont get far in life staying still! roll, swim, walk and hop through terrain to reach the big pond before time runs out!! though for hopping you might need to wait for your legs to grow in. can you get to the big pond as a tadpole or will you age into a frog before you can reach your destination? the early amphibian gets the fly so better get there quick!!!

• a platformer where the frog starts as an egg and there's a set timer that progresses you through the frog stages. 
• you get more points the less time it takes you to finish the game.
• its harder (but hopefully still possible) the further you go as an early frog stage. if you reach full frog early the rest is super easy but maybe you die of old age before you get to the end depending on difficulty.
• this game would have one long level and if you get to the end in time you get to play frogger
• each frog stage will gain and lose mechanics they can use,

demonical botanicals /  a mortals guide to cultivating the perfect garden

summary

you make a garden with multiple views (front yard, back yard, seed shop, ect) when you look away from a garden it changes / gets a bit eldritch.

 story

Your garden looks like its not going to win any awards, its a bit shit to be honest, but one day you happen to find a strange book labelled (a mortals guide to gardening/ a mortals guide to cultivating the perfect garden), it seems like it does the trick and your garden seems like its flourishing but you cant shake the feeling that somethings wrong... that plant isn't in any encyclopedias... and what's that smell? AND IS THAT A FOOT??!!

mechanics

• view
  • can be that it rotates through multiple static views
  • can be first person and it forms a monster or a baby without a face or something that chases you at the end
• can corrupt the player, make them chop off their finger or sacrifice their pet hamster for extra special fertilizer
  • plant your finger to grow a new fancy plant
  • something something green thumb
• several annoying neighbours with a fantastic gardens and many awards who all suck and always win the fancy garden award
• other normal garden mechanics, plant seeds, grow them, sell clippings to neighbours, the buyers disappearing or changing somehow. 
  • maybe when you see them next they are missing a finger or eye or they look disheveled

# losing the labyrinth 

you wake up in a bare room with one exit, you walk out to find a corridor with exits that seem to open and close, after stumbling through for a bit you meet rooms with friends, puzzles, and some strange ones with empty chairs and weird scratch marks. as time progresses each person youve met meets the monster eventually a monster gets you but as soon as it grabs you, you open your eyes and your back in the beginning. you go through the maze again and everyone is back to where they were, right where you left it, except there is black spots seeping through some of the walls, some of the people you've met are different, strange and they dont remember any monster. after a few time loops the rot has seeped through each of the walls and made its way into the people, if you dont want your friends to change you need to act quickly and solve the maze!!

• first person
• you need to make your way through a moveing maze that is in a time loop.
  • there are monsters in the maze that reset you
• you start in the same position in every loop and you need to find your way through.
• there are several poi's you need to go to proceed and characters in some of the places
  • some puzzles or just buttons that open up paths in other places
  • after meeting a character or after set number of loops something in that room gradually changes between loops / they disappear
• after several loops a rot is progressing from the exit of the maze but its going through the walls so you can kind of get a sense of where its coming from but not really.

• items
  • you have a scanner that picks up poi rooms and the start.
  • you have a reset time loop button that brings you back to the start
