Game Variations Brainstorm (mander.xyz)

Hey all,

I just wanted to open a brainstorming post for possible future variations on the game.
Note that this is just for fun and that i hold no weight toward game decisions.

Here's a couple ideas floating around in my own head, what's in yours?

Speed click: First team to press 100* times wins
*Obviously this should be calibrated based on expected participation
Short timer, for length: No teams, only community effort to make it last as long as possible but the timer is shorter
Perhaps instead of short timer, the press value degrades over time. Basically a sub-a-thon, tbh
Lowest score after 24hrs* wins, but still have to keep the game alive until then or else nobody wins
*Needs calibrated for feasibility

Collaborative version. Button presses have to go in color order (ex. Blue button only Blue team can press the button and make the button Purple). Goal is to keep the button alive for (x) amount of time or bonus, as long as possible.

Also, may be cool to have a new variation each time the game is played.

Maybe which colour is next isn't known ahead of time. Maybe the colours are actually pixels that fill in an image.

That would be really cool!
