Very interesting idea, I love how microgames are used to reinforce the idea of collective habits. I’m a bit confused about whether failing a microgame is good or bad since it seems like winning performs a harmful action against the planet. Does the game make you repeat a microgame until the player wins?

This seems to be a great concept, both in keeping with the jam theme, climate issues, and as a compelling game that lots of people would want to play. The idea of mini-games is brilliant and would work great in the overall concept of planet Earth and climate change. There is not a lot of info currently on what those mini-games would consist of, but I look forward to seeing more as the production moves forward. It does seem like a big project for a jam, so maybe consider just a minimal number of mini-games so as not to get overwhelmed. I also think balancing the fun factor with climate catastrophe could be difficult; I hope you find a good way to do that.

I think this idea sounds very promising! Microgames are a great way to cover a multitude of topics in a short time, and the shift in tone of the games that you play over and over again as you progress through the game is a smooth way to show the changes that we can have on the environment. BEARy excited to see how this'll progress! Also, another Warioware-like game I suggest looking at is Buster JAM! (ps I just looked up MINDWAVE and it looks cool/sounds asf)

I would love to see a more fleshed out document that reveals your goals and ideas more clearly! Im a huge fan of the Warioware games and Mindwave was a fun experience, so I have no doubt that this theme would work for that style of game. The only thing I worry about for this team is the scope. Making a satisfying game like this requires a lot of little systems that you need to cleverly place and scale up for difficulty,
