Your game has a mechanic you think has never been done before? Drop me a link and I will play and rate it!

I just love trying out new and different gameplay concepts! So while there are a lot of great one bullet/one life/one button games submitted to the jam, this thread is for the unique and wired games :D

In my opinion our game fits this description quite well, its a racing game, but your car only has one wheel. Try to steer it through a downtown racetrack! Would love it if you play and rate it: https://temp-name.itch.io/one-wheel-drive

I did not see another one like mine, so i think i can post here. 

Game is a platformer, where the every power-up is deadly overpowered. They are like this, because game uses only the number 1, and no other number, so it just puts 1's side by side, which makes you speed up from 1 to 11, then 111.  Same for your jump and your score too. So you need to reach the exit for every level with using power-ups, but taking more than you need for extra score can make you more uncontrollable than you need.

Solve little puzzles and beat 11 challenging levels!

Damn, a pretty hard game :D Played and Rated!

I wouldn't say the base concept of the game is original, but the way I expanded upon it is original

My game is called One Shot In The Chamber, a wave based survival game where you must fight off hordes of enemies with the catch being, you have only one bullet. Fortunately, the bullet is magic and you can summon it back to you or teleport to it. Using this unique ability, you must survive as long as possible in the chamber. Here is a screenshot of the game and the link to the game page: https://mark-auman.itch.io/one-shot-in-the-chamber

Oh man, I should not play games without reading the description xD When I first played it (i think it was 2 days before, I didnt realise you can teleport/summon your bullet back. xD I just thought i shot it and then i have to retrive it, kind of boring... However, now, with the teleport/ summon function, this is a whole other level! I love it! Fast movements (and controllable teleports) are always cool! Also the art of the game is great. Good Job!

Proof, that my mechanics are unique: Nobody understood them :D. But you can try to if you want to ;)
OneBlock is a platformer with only one platform. You can set the teleporters to teleport the platform around the place, making it a tricky puzzle-platformer game.

Played and rated! Definitely something different :D

I've never seen a rogue-like where you have only one inventory slot, so I think in this regard my game is pretty unique :D Check it out: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460262

Rated and Played! A bit confusing at first, but an interesting concept!

We think ours is a little bit different: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/461722

The objective is to get the camera and take a photo (by holding LMB) before the celebrity leaves.

2D puzzle platformer with gravity switches, except you can press every button only once per level. And it’s kinda hard..

Hello! :)

Pretty sure our idea has been done before (four realities in only one screen), but at least I've never seen it the way we did it (and surely not in this jam). 

Anyway, you can find a ton of juicy cupcakes in our game, so feel free to feast here: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462549 :)

from the feedback I got my game seemed to be percived as original. 

https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/461529 

It's about playing three games at once with only one button

Submitted

Another one wheeled game. I think I've seen a similar game somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it. Uniracers?

I guess playing as a severed arm is pretty original !
