Not Planned [NANO] Game ideas: Maze Fall, Soft Feet, Sniper Duel

Hello,

I'd like to present three game ideas for Nano Games!

Two of them focus on the aspect of falling; one of them is about finding a place where to fall and the other is about falling softly.
Both aren't exactly new, but I think they'd fit well into the concept of Nano Games.

The third one is about archery.

Game idea 1: Maze Fall

Players spawn in a huge tower right at the top, and they need to find holes in the floor in order to progress to the next floor. Whoever makes it the lowest, wins.
Different floors could be made of different blocks in order to make it harder to find holes (like glass blocks, or floors with low light level). Also different holes in one level could lead to different sections of the next floor.
Since most people would probably remember the location of some holes pretty fast, players could receive knockback sticks to push around other players and make it harder for them to fall to the next floor. The game ends when one player has reached the goal (or when a timer ends after the first player reached the goal).

Game idea 2: Soft Feet

Some of you might know these games where you need to run down a hill while avoiding fall damage because you're literally at 1/2 hearts health, so any fall damage would kill you. Checkpoints could be implemented similar to the Parkour Nano Game, and players could receive snowballs to slow others down.The game ends when one player has reached the goal (or when a timer ends after the first player reached the goal).

Game idea 3: Sniper Battle

Two teams stand on two separated platforms. Their goal is to eliminate the other team by shooting them with arrows, which kill instantly. At first the platforms are rather thin (Maybe 10 to 15 blocks wide, but only 2 or 3 blocks long), and maybe 50 to 70 blocks apart from each other. Everytime one team kills a player from the opposite team, their platform extends by some blocks, so that they can get closer to the opposite team and have more room to dodge.The game ends when one team has been eliminated completely or after a timer ends.

Please leave your feedback! :D
Thanks for reading!

Best regards,
Caty

... Yeah I just saw there's a similar game to Maze Fall already in Quick. Never seen that one before... oops

 

Hello!

Maze Fall: As BuySomeApples mentioned and you mentioned at the end, there is already a game mode very similar to this one, so not sure if it would fit in NANO.
Soft Feet: I do really like this idea! This game mode sounds like something I would want to play, and I could definitely see myself getting frustrated and annoyed when I get sent back to the start, but if there were checkpoints, then I’m all for it. There could potentially be different themed maps for it, like maybe a lava map, an ice glacier map, a wilderness/jungle map. With a few tweaks, a game like that could really be a great addition to NANO.
Sniper Battle: With this one, I am getting some Turf War vibes, but not bad. Personally I think it would be cool if instead of having the border and floor expand toward each other as the game progresses, it could start out wider and the amount of floor space would become smaller as the game progresses, instead of getting closer to each other. With some tweaks, I could see this one working as well!
All in all, you have some good concepts here. Keep up the good work!

 

Hello!

I think I’ll start off by saying that I do really like these ideas.

As stated several times, the Maze fall exists. But I think maybe just a maze game would be neat to have in Nano. Possibly could be a randomized maze so people can’t memorize it? Not entirely sure how it would work.

With the other two, I can easily see these games being implemented! I think it would fit right in to the rest of the nano games. I am in agreement with ThanksPyro on these, there should be checkpoints in Soft Feet. I also agree with the idea to change up the concept up a bit for Sniper battle. That would make the game more enjoyable for me.

Overall these are great ideas! Have a good day,
-Ben

 

I like this. We these should definitely be in a bedrock version of CubeCraft's Minerware. Oh wait, is that this Nano Games? Well, bedrock should have a version of Nano Games then...

 

These game ideas have been denied for the following reasons:

• First idea is a mix of the Quick game and dropper and so won't be very unique
• Second idea is too similar to RLGL and Knock Knock but instead of valuing speed it values accuracy
• Third idea is essentially a nano version of Turf Wars and we don't want to port any more arcade games to nano
