What kind of mini games do you think Starbound will have?

I have always enjoyed mini-games. I noticed that in the "List of information" sticky, Tiy had said there will be arenas and stuff. He said that he didnt know if we would call them mini-games. What kind of mini games would you like to see?
Some sort of puzzle games?
Trivia?
Arcade style?
Lets see if we can come up with some original ideas to discuss

 

Yes, That is indeed an option. I just feel like we have ran out of things to talk about.
So I'm trying to spark some interest in the community, get people involved. You know?

 

sniping alien creatures for points! ... gambling? like slots, or betting
circuit racing with hoverbikes

these would be fun i think

 

Those are good ones
I didn't even think about circuit racing on hover bikes. For that you get a cookie.

 

eee, cookie! thank you~~ *nomnom*

hmm, trying to think of other mini games, but all i can think of is puzzling ruins with cryptic hints, and alien husbandry.

maybe some sort of simple cooking mama kind of minigame for crafting foods on-planet...

 

You're welcome!
OH! Cooking!!! Thats a really good one. Could you imagine all the other-worldy foods you could create?
Exotic orzosprit salad, with Borg carapace accents and snarf cheese dressing. lol.

And if its like cooking mama, then you could mess it up. Ruining the meal for your whole crew.

Alien husbandry? Like a mini-game to seduce an alien to become your spouse? Cool! lol.

 

oh my, what a scrumptious dish!

haha perhaps the ingredients could have specific buff effects but are unconsumable raw, so cooking them together combines them all into a single food item with boosted effects

it'd make you repeatedly return to a planet just so you can harvest the god-mode buffer herb, or, destroy a planet because everything that grows in it is so plain and useless...

 

Buff effects... Magnificent! You are full of good ideas today, lady.

Wouldn't it be funny if they did that, and then if you did eat the raw ingredient, it made you sick? Possibly reversing the desired effect, or adding like a vomit face animation.

It would definitely add a reason to return to a certain planet that you have already finished exploring.
Plus I think this would be super cool because of that log book feature. Scan the ingredient to learn everything about it, effects it has, what it can be made into.
Good stuff

 

yeah, i am just really excited for this game! thanks!

haha, vomit! maybe leave puddles on the ground that might be acidic, depending on the poisonous plant digested. if people are gonna get grossed out though

it'll definitely keep the logbook from just becoming that 'cluttered history archive log'! maybe categories: 'useful', 'useless', with subcategories positive/negative effects, and harmless/harmful respectively.

(maybe i should start a suggestions thread... hmm)

 

Maybe you should start a suggestions thread! If you do, it will be good
Since it was kind of the goal of this thread in the first place, to spark some activity; get people involved.

 

Comet surfing!

 

Nice, I like it! I can see it now in my head.
However, do you care to elaborate on how you think it should be done?

 

Starbound better have some space-invaders-like mini game

 

That would be awesome. Totally retro hahah.

Or Galaga. I love Galaga.

 

I'm drooling. Like, no joke.

ON TOPIC: I'd want arcade style. Like pacman. Or stuff like that. It'd be really fun. It'd also be cool if starbound would have stuff like Pro-Bending.

 

Alien poker.

 

I'd like a game with the penguins.
Maybe a remake of the "find my babies" in Mario 64 ? That would be uber-cute * 3*

Or Poptops, last level(s) of the game would be against Adults
A "run away or get chewed on" kind of game ?

 

The "Find my Baby" thing is cool. And pulling something else from the Mario series - finding the 8 red coins. I am probably the only person on this planet (so it can't be on Earth, then, heheh) that likes that, but I think that would be a pretty cool piece of homage.

Nevertheless, stuff like the Bombchu alley from Ocarina of Time. Target practice where you stand behind a fence and you have to hit a target right at the middle.
Also - Horseback riding with shooting!

The Amazing Race of Death.
2 Mechs try to get an bomb to a certain point on a planet before it explodes, taking damage reduces the time it has, but going through electric rings will increase its' time from detonation. The player to reach the point first wins.

 

I think there should also be multi-player minigames - either in versus mode or in co-op mode. Something similar to Portal 2, wherein you would have to go through some sort of testing pipeline that would only be completed if each participant did its part in sync with the other participant's.
