Mini games are fun what kinds could you see in the game here’s an example:
Mashing up pong with wack a mole & upgrades from super mario kart.
Instead of the pong bar you could be using a massive scan hammer? The grid could be created by spawning it in areas that are ok then you can challege others to the game could even add others for a 4 player.
The longer the game goes there are bugs that pop out of the ground to slow or hold you down those need to be wacked like the game wack a mole. If for some reason 2 bugs have got you your team mate needs to wack them off you etc.
Sometimes there are floating power ups that pass by you can throw your hammer like thor to get them and go to it to collect this power up or upgrade e.g.
- [Bomb] can be thrown the blast makes opponet players get knocked down for a few seconds
- [Temp Upgrade] improves hammer charge hit for a short duration for power hits
- [Dual hammers] smaller but can hit quicker though less powerful than big hammer
- [Temp A.I Hammer] slows down orb and shows you few outlined option for your next hit before slow down ends.
- [Temp Techno wizard] appears and zaps other players so they are shrunk in size (think of the lightening from super mario kart)
I was thinking that once you have explored and unlocked enough of the zone collectively then the mini game are unlocked.
Some are global achievement with games and others are individual achievements.
Mini games are not just in zones they can be unlocked through some npc’s and even pets.
These can be held tournaments for fun or for those who want to go into torunaments against npc’s you have to keep an eye out for zone specific tasks that can add up then the npc’s takes note to make contact noticing your reputation.
This is a good one, a mix between pong and wack-a-mole. We’ve played around with the idea of mini-games, but haven’t come up with any yet, this is noted down!

Another to the list that could be good fun.
Racing + Delievery + Shooting cops/robber style etc
The locations could be there are circuits or areas where the games could take place.
These could run as underground events, where the bikes light is important especially at night, fogs and even darker areas such as tunnels with reduced visibility. Some even use nightvision although that cannot be accessed right away.
These regions were specially used to train riders and to develop their skills on particular bikes in tougher situations to improve logistics.
Bikes can be customized with the layout of what weapon items or carry capacity they want depending on the mode and style of play.
There are few modes to make it interesting such as:
-
Purely racing A-B (individual or team)
-
Destruction derby style (individual or team) Bash each other and bike goes kablewy
-
Horde mode, vip, survival, use weapons such as melee, guns, to land mines to survive the waves. Each wave someone is randomly selected as the vip so that rider needs to be protected against the odds.
-
Express delivery Saints and Demons.
There are 2 sides:
Saints deliver items that are essential to keep the locals pleased and defend.
Demons cause havoc slowing or stopping Saints.
Modes:
-
Timed express delivery mode to go as fast as possible vs npc or players
to get your delivery on time!
-
Sabotage is in rounds, the aim is to sabotage delivery each round by replacing with a poop one’s.
You can’t really tell if your delivery is sabotaged unless the npc complains!
Then you need to get another delivery made before the round ends to win.
(sadly you cannot base hang or stay stationary too long or your deliervy employer gives you a slower bike and worst case gives you a bad rep
)
Also the routes and points are randomly generated to avoid predicting and taking advantage of the mode!
- Mass baiter mode, A particular Demon throws bait at selected points the Saints must find which demon did this by stopping them or defeat the mobs that appear from the bait.
One Demon can carry the baits that are limited in supply, you must have 1 bait on you & be alive at the end of the time to win as demons.
Saints must either capture or neutralise the Mass baiter or clear all mobs to win.
Interesting and very well thought out! I can’t wait to have the bikes working so we can explore these!
