1-Page Game Jam Ideas

So while scrolling through Instagram I saw the following posted by 28Mag. I immediately jumped on the idea and began trawling through my brain for any ideas.

I’ve written a fair few 1 Page games in my time.

My Simple Toy Soldier Game has done fairly well, gaining a decent amount of hits for me on this blog:

And my game Tiny Wars has done decently too:

Also pretty much the core of every version of Deathzap has been a page or far less. So what ideas do I have for a new ruleset that will fit on a single page?

Mass battles in a world populated entirely by sentient slime?

A solo skirmish game where an immune system battles a virus?

A cowboy stand-off that breaks turns down into milliseconds?

Grimdark scrumping?

Knowing me it will probably some sort of skirmish game, I get good mental mileage out of thinking one of those up. My super simple skirmish rules had months of work go into them:

Put any of your ideas in the comments, I won’t steal any I like I promise (wink wink).
