Running out of power

Who we are

  • robot/machine
  • factory management/maintenance
  • human depending on faulty machinery
  • the world, trying to aid the character
  • we're power itself and we must feed who needs us

What needs to be done

  • evacuation going on - need to make machines cope with humans, get somewhere without dying and/or with time limit. think lemmings (traffic lights changing, railroad path choosing, bridge placement, place barriers) -> heavy work on simulating actors such as cars and people interacting with roads, etc.

  • mash vehicles in a way to be efficient with low resources -> heavy physics and accurate simulation work, not experienced in this

  • simple platformer with a twist in locomotion and/or how its movement gets affected over time/environment -> could work but need a simple set of original rules...

  • racing game in a post-apocalyptic scenario - we must reach the other side of the city, dodging faulty traffic and scared mobs -> heavy work on level generation and maybe on the simulation itself. rad though

  • puzzle - setup a circuit such that the level mission is accomplished. think the incredible machine / pipe mania -> relatively straightforward to setup the engine. hard to do challenging/original levels

  • solve engineering problems. think pontifex -> same problems as prev, with harder engine setup

  • minimalist racing game. think micromachines -> twist is? level design? car design? car response to usage

  • platformer with dynamic terrain and grapple hook. think worms/liero -> vs fight? lemmings get to somewhere?

  • flappy bird with limited fuel (thx @asilva4000 !) -> no excuses. basic game engine easy to set up. leaves time for level design, gfx and polish. may go for this one!

Tech stack

For the sake of moving fast due to the hackaton time constraints (and not to diverge from the goal of implementing a game) I find it best to still to technology I know by heart.

So first choice is: browser / javascript / pixi

Then I could also benefit from fantasy console RAD tools but usage depends on game chose TIC80/PICO8 / lua or javascript

If I would go for 3D or 2D with physics or basic collisions, I'd choose
