Tiny Timato

Ben and Trev dust off Ramped Up Click Pitch, where they throw random adjective-and-noun pairs at each other and forge game designs from the results. This week's games include:

a strategy game where you build defensive ramparts and place your cannons while seeing a few seconds into the future, the present and the about-to-happen overlaid on the same muddy battlefield;

a narrative document-shuffler set in a far-future world where sentient food rules and humans are long gone, casting you as an avocado researcher trying to translate and preserve the culture of the "talky meat", while one faction wants every trace of humanity erased and another wants to learn from it;

a quietly oppressive character study set in a society that has rigorously mistranslated an old farmer's weather almanac into emotional scripture, where you must be "cloudless" in the sunny months and dutifully gloomy in the cloudy ones, on a planet whose seasons no longer match the book;

and a battle royale where you play the overlord inventing the rules and watching your AI combatants find broken synergies, until you realise one of the "AI" is a real person trapped in the loop — and the story converges from both sides;

and more!
