Opinions on Minigame Madness

[t3h b055]

My game essentially is just all minigames. It will seems like Uther's Party but with more updated games. I am thinking of adding in the minigames: Barrel Run (made by me but now with no lag), Cage Fight, and a game like Spellcraft basically. I was wondering what all else I should add and what everyone thinks of it.

Barrel Run: A game where the object is simply to reach the end in the allotted time. Go to each barrel to progress, dodge the obstacles. Lots of useless trigger involved generally in spamming to get your attention off the task at hand.

Cage Fight: A short game in which the two teams select a hero and battle to the death. Ranges include 8 different heroes still yet to be decided on.

Spellcraft: An interesting game in which you form your OWN spells and use them to battle off the bosses. Fast paced action. Different spell set and now a combine button so you don't end up with the wrong spell.

And of course there still is the yet to be decided. Please post with ideas. Much obliged.

Looking at the length of a game, the first one seems alright. The second is probably fine if you can keep it quick, but the last one will be way too big to be marked a minigame. I don't think you'll be able to change anything on that to make it a minigame unless you give the boss 100 life and spells that do just that damage at their first level.

Hmm yea you seem right, i might have to take that out, but i don't necessarily want it to be over really quick that would be sort of retarded. Spellcraft will probably be the longest one.

Do spellcraft as there is no other minigame map that contains something like it.
Just do a maximum of 3 bosses with 2 waves of creeps between each one.

Who says you require a spellcraft-like game? It's still a way too big game to be called a minigame...

Not really. Choose spells, fight units, fight bosses. With 3 bosses it would last a max of 3-5 minutes.
Who says what a mini-game is? Basically if teh boss follows the general rubrick of a minigame-game its not gonna be original and its gonna suck.
He should come out of the box and do stuff that hasnt been done before. It doesnt have to be spellcraft but its a start.
