I've been trying to come up with a theme for a simple set collecting game and so far I've not been happy with anything I've tossed around so far - so I'm asking for help.
Let me give you the idea in real abstract terms:
Let's say your collecting squares. For each set type there are two varieties. For this example let's say white and black. Youcan collect either type, but not both. So if you have 3 black squares and get 1 white square - you lose both the white square as well as 1 black square, resulting in just having 2 black squares.
I need at least 7 different set "types". I really don't want to go with abstract shapes and would like to paste on some type of theme.
Some ideas I've had so far and haven't been able to really make work yet:
You're collecting some type of matter/anti-matter stuff that can't exist together hence cancelling each other out.
You're collecting bugs where each one is a male or female - if you're collecting males and a female comes along a male takes off after her.
Yes - I'm struggling here!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nick
Thanks for the suggestions.
I think I've come to the conclusion that while a theme would make the game "sexier" it would also make it harder to grasp so I'm going to just keep it an abstract for now.
Plus it make doing the graphics much easier!
I think I'm going to need to check into Coloretto though to see if there is any resemblence.
