Game ideas

Turn your idea into a game that's fun in the first 30 seconds — and small enough to finish.

Video lesson coming soon

Read the lesson below — or learn it live in a class.

Lesson

  1. 1

    Every good small game has one verb (run, dodge, shoot, collect) and one tension (time, danger, score).

  2. 2

    Write your idea as one sentence: "I am a ___ who has to ___ before ___." If you can't, it's still too big.

  3. 3

    Pick one setting, one hero, three obstacles and one thing to collect. That's your first version.
