If anyone is looking for a game idea I thought I'd share this one with the Level Up Circle community. 

I'm not participating in this jam but I thought it would be good practice to come up with some ideas.
Feel free to use it if you like. If anyone else has ideas to share that would be cool too :)

Okay, so here's the idea I hatched over breakfast ;) 

An endless game where you have to incubate eggs by keeping them at the right temperature (till they hatch) but you only have one lamp to warm one egg at time. 

The goal is to try and hatch as many eggs as possible.

Mechanics:

• The player can move the lamp left or right to position it over an egg. 
• The temperature of the egg the lamp is over will increase.
• The temperature of the eggs the lamp is not over will decrease.
• The player needs to move the lamp between eggs to keep each within the temperature range. 
• Each egg has a count down to the time when it will hatch.

Success conditions:

• When the count down of an egg to hatch reaches 0, the egg hatches, the player's score is increased and a new egg is added in it's place.

Fail conditions:

• The game ends when the temperature of any egg is too high or too low.

Difficultly could be adjusted based on:

• the rate at which the temperature rises or falls.
• the rate of the time to hatch.
• the number of eggs.

Do you think this is an eggcellent idea, or is it not all that it's cracked up to be?
If anyone does eggsecute this let me know and I'll chick it out ;)
I suggest a web version which is platform eggnostic and will work on any browser (eggcept obviously microsoft eggsplorer ;)
