Fun & Crazy Games · 8

Intentional control awkwardness is a rare design choice because responsiveness is usually sacred; comedy games break that rule on purpose and make the struggle itself the point. Meanwhile, the mechanics tell a second story. Games built around one ridiculous premise need escalation, so designers keep asking the dangerous question: what is the next thing this mechanic absolutely should not be used for? Game-jam logic begins with 'what if' and frequently ends with a goat, a hammer or a suspicious appliance.
