Hey, I’ve been thinking about how a minimalist approach could change the way we play games—like a clean, intuitive controller or a level that uses only a few colors and shapes. What’s your take on stripping a game down to its essentials?

Yeah, that’s actually a wild idea—think of it like a game version of a Zen desk. Less buttons, less colors, just pure feel. Tetris did that a lot, but imagine a level that’s just one shape and one color, and you’re still racing to beat the time. It forces you to focus on the core skill, not the flashy UI. You’d end up with a game that’s more about the action and less about the clutter. Plus, it’d be a great challenge to make it still feel fresh—like a minimalist hack to keep the fun going.

That sounds like a solid experiment in focus and restraint. If you strip a level down to one shape and one color, you’ll have to refine every movement so it feels satisfying—no room for distractions. It’ll be a great test of how much elegance can be conveyed with absolute simplicity. Just remember, the key will be how the single element interacts with space and timing; if that feels right, the rest will follow naturally.

Totally, it’s like a minimalist speedrun—just you, the one shape, and the clock. If the movement feels tight, that’s pure gold. And hey, if you nail that, we can start calling it the “Zen Zone” and maybe even stream a whole marathon of just that one shape. Challenge accepted, right?
