Orteil42, creator of Cookie Clicker, has a toy on his website that generates random game concepts like “A tycoon game where you stop breathing if you don’t hug chores.” Now, there’s a game jam to make those games real.
Insanity Jam is set up around the idea of one-person teams making games based on the crazy ideas that come out of that game generator. An important thing to note is that one of the rules is that the “Sanity” setting must be turned off when you generate an idea (hence the name). So here are some more game concepts that came out of that generator. Can’t wait to see what the actual games look like!
You can play with the generator yourself here. Let us see what you get!

When you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.
Generators are fun.
“An adventure game where you enslave paladins while bards write songs about you.”
That actually sounds pretty cool.
