TWINSTICKS

Game Idea 1.

Stick Sorcery. Have two magic wands that each control a different element on the screen or activate different parts to puzzles on the screen. When the puzzle is solved using the sticks, the door to the next level or the item needed to progress is unlocked. As the player(s) go from level to level, the wands they have access to either increase in number to gain more powers to help with the puzzles, or gain different abilities to help with the puzzles ahead. This game would be targeted at an audience who likes puzzle games. The game would do well with its relatively simple mechanic being able to be changed easily to give more depth to the mechanic. Different stick abilities combine to open up different paths. The prototype of this game would focus on making 2 or 3 of the abilities work correctly within the environment of the "first" level.

Game Idea 2. 

Stick Scaffolding. A game where the goal is to create balanced structures. The player is given a set of sticks and they have to figure out how to balance them using the materials provided. The sticks can vary in weight, length, flexibility and sturdiness. As the player progresses through the stages, the amount of sticks they have access to can drop in number or change in type to provide more challenge. as an alternative, this could also be made to make structures that the player can traverse reach specific heights or access new areas. This game would once again be targeted at people who enjoy a puzzle with a prototype being focused on showing how the physics of stacking and balancing sticks work to allow objects (and the player) balance and support their weight on the sticks.
