Click Pitch is played, and games are improvised! Ben and Trevor come up with games such as:

A wacky race across the world;

A heavy metal band faces the apocalypse;

Forces of heaven and hell vie for the possession of God's fiddle;

and more!

This episode Ben and Trevor are mixing things up by playing What 3 Words to get their random prompts. They discuss weird games including:

• A Papers Please inspired legal game involving the bad guys from video games suing the heroes
• A Romeo and Juliet-esque romance game set in a submarine where 2 star crossed Deep Water Polo players fall in love
• A point and click / 2d side scroller beat em up mash up set on a weird alien planet.

Playing some Ramped Up Click Pitch, Ben and Trevor invent some video games from whole cloth, such as:

a character who finds their autobiography from the future, and must decide how best to use it;

a far future society re-discovering the technology of our present day;

waking up with Elvis's signature tattooed in a sensitive place;

and more!

Taking a break from the standard video game design shenanigans this week, Ben and Trev review some of their favourite dark web games this week. The games include

• Night-time Ballet Choreographer
• Bionic Devil Voyage
• Violent Hamster Paratroopers
• Go Go Gnome Saga
• Everybody Loves the Jetpack
• Galactic Shaving on the Oregon Trail

Improvised game designs from random movies, go! This week:

An old captain is haunted by the ghost of the shark he once fought;

A Tiktok trend results in a horrifying night for some babysitters;

Two himbos find themselves stuck on a ghost ship;

and more!

Ben and Trev return to the random movie pile to gain inspiration for game ideas. They discussed the following games, that unfortunately (or fortunately) don't exist.

• An intergalactic story of Candace and her robot R.O.C.K.Y. 5
• A heist within a law enforcement compound
• A murder mystery set in the 1970's, where a secret war is boiling between two gangs.

Ben and Trevor accidentally do a horror themed episode based on random movie prompts, such as:

Freddy vs Jason (but they're just twin brothers);

A social deduction game where you try to determine who is an angel;

A horror roguelike where you have the power to see who the killer will attack next;

and more!

Multiplayer games are in vogue right now, because Epic Games have just released Unreal Engine for Fortnite (UEFN). Ben and Trev discuss a bunch of multiplayer focused games that might be possible in UEFN, but probably not. Games discussed include

• A 4v4 team battleship game in first person
• A 4 player competitve co-op treasure hunting game
• A 1v1 game where players take on the role of either an assassin or a bodyguard
• A water based raid on a protected island / castle

Ben and Trevor dig into the roots of their villainous dentist trope, with just two game designs this week: super hero doctors vs the dentist villain, and a deep dive into a horror anthology game with meta gameplay and a creepy antagonist.

Ben and Trev return to the standard formula of Ramped Up Click Pitch, and discuss a couple of game ideas before they return to the world of Starch Wars for yet another game.

• A theme park ride owner tries to unsuccesfully sabotage his rival
• Slip through a speaker cabinet into the metal world and bring music back to the forefront
• Beetman and Radish fight their way through hordes of cloned fruit to discover the mastermind behind all the recent kidnappings.
