I'm not ready to have this game idea have its own thread, but I wanted to share it with you guys anyway. I haven't done much for it outside of formulating the basic game mechanics, but I'll consider posting concept art if I want to make this game a reality.
I got this idea from feeding ducks in a park close to where I live. It's a fun mini-game of sorts that offers at least four ways to play. I don't know if I'll make it a tablet game or try to put it into something like Mario Party. What you see below are my rough thoughts I copied from a small text file I made about the game, so I'm sorry if the way its written looks slightly different from how I usually write.
Quack Crumb Splash
Gamemode one - All the players are on the river bank and they are tossing breadcrumbs at ducks. The idea is that you either need to feed random ducks to score points or feed ducks that are your own color. Any crumbs you throw are edible to other ducks (including ones belonging to other players). Maybe I'll throw in bad ducks that steal points if they eat your bread? Also, I could have players throw bombs to kill the bad ducks and other player's ducks. This is a risk because the bomb can kill any duck, so the idea of losing points by killing your own ducks comes to mind.
Gamemode two - Only two players are on the river bank, while the other two are in the water dressed as ducks. Each of the two teams have a human and a duck player. The main idea is to toss breadcrumbs into the water to have your duck teammate eat it (although probably not really since eating wet bread from possibly filthy water is gross). The catch is that the duck player on the other team can also eat the breadcrumbs to gain points. On top of that, fish in the water can not only eat the crumbs, but also stun duck players by touching them. In other words, throw crumbs carefully to allow your teammate to "eat" them without hassle. The bombs could also be used to in this gamemode to stun player ducks (regardless of whether its your own teammate or not) and the fish. Who knows? I might include the bad ducks and helpful NPC ducks to to make things interesting.
Gamemode three - It is similar to gamemode two, but only one player tosses bread. The idea of the bread tosser is to not have the duck players eat the bread. Since the bread tosser is forced to throw bread at set intervals, the idea is to throw the crumbs away from the playable ducks and have them get eaten by fishes. It is not easy because the duck players are able to stun the fishes this time around by swimming over them. To make it even more challenging, I'll use mean, swift fishes to eat crumbs and cost the bread tosser some points. Bombs, of course, make a return to hinder player ducks and maybe make sushi out of some fishes.
Gamemode four - This is just like gamemode one, but all the playable characters are in duck suits. The bread tosser is now an NPC who throws breadcrumbs everywhere and you need to catch them. As usual, bombs will be thrown among the breadcrumbs and they will stun the player ducks. I'm not sure if the fishes and NPC ducks will return since having some guy throw bread everywhere randomly in challenging enough.
