Maybe a game where you must collect oats within the grid in the fewest moves possible? And then it has a scoreboard?
Some way to attack the robots in CHASE-- maybe easy within a one char radius?
i was watching a nature documentary with my girlfriend, and it gave me an idea for a mini game--
the segment of the doco was on these goats with enormous horns; and true to form they battled each other with those horns.
the concept for the mini game is simple enough, you have to mash two keys on the keyboard to "build up power" for your next round of horn-locking...
or maybe it could be like a meter that swings, and you have to press your button on the 'sweet spot' of the target on the meter?
I was thinking perhaps I would change Oats For My Goats into something more similar to the fedi bots that post lil unicode gardens or desert landscapes.
I cannot seem to decide how any game mechanics would work in a roguelike version.
