Snap-a-Saurus: Pictures of the Past

(our name) is a player-versus-player photography game where the players compete against each other to take the best pictures of dinosaurs. Using their camera-shaped controller, the players will receive a score for each photo they take. The score will change based on which parts of the dinosaur are in the frame, as well as if the dinosaur is centered or obscured. The first photo of each dinosaur taken will net the photographer more points than any subsequent photo. The faster a player is to take clear photos of new and exciting dinosaurs, the more points they will receive. The game will consist of three one-minute rounds, and the player that has scored the most points at the end of all three rounds will win the game.

Still having some conflict the paleolithic pals channel their hatred into squashing the bugs landing on eachother, with their club. Whilst in the magic circle the players will take their turns in this stone age high-action screenless game to hit the buttons located on the other players’ vest lit up by LED lights in a high action environment, sometimes being interrupted by the campfire going out. Restore safety and get back to bug squashing.
