Thought about the theme a lot. Honest, I did. Eventually I had an idea of having an AI companion with you (as it’s dangerous to go alone), which was more or less like walking a dog. Dog is interested in some things you don’t like (like stopping to sniff at things) and would fight for you (you, on the other hand, couldn’t fight). So you’d have to drag the dog kicking and screaming along across some bits. But that’s about it. Some basic game mechanics (things that attract / detract the dog), but the actual game idea was missing.

I toyed around with the code a bit, but I really wasn’t feeling too hot about the whole thing, so I threw the towel early on, and went to watch megamind instead.

A couple hours ago I got an idea for a joke, and built it very quickly. It’s such a stupid joke that I won’t be submitting it as an entry, but here it is for your (questionable) enjoyment. Win32 binaries only. The game freezes when you reach the joke, so don’t be surprised.
