Game of Thongs is a silly two player memory game in which players must flex it out against one another to impress the king and gain his recognition. The king is very particular though, so you must flex to his standards or else you will lose his favor.
We made this game because we wanted to make something that was not just fun to play, but would be funny to play. We wanted to make players laugh at the ridiculous things they were doing on the screen, and what is more ridiculous than wearing a thong and flexing competitively for an overly excited king?
Game Jams are a great way to inspire creativity. Rapid prototyping an idea is a great way to keep your design skills sharp, and designing within a constrained time and topic can really foster some interesting creativity.
