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

Interesting, I wonder if this would incentivize people to click immediately or to hold off.
