One of the biggest "randomized" elements in this game currently is the physics of bouncing off other beans in a game. So what if we introduced a side show that changed things up in a really unique way?

PROPOSAL: A "Ghost Guys" show

Show Description:

All other players become transparent for this show. Grabs and bouncing off other players are absent as you navigate your bean through the rounds as normal, though all beans are still impacted by obstacles. Beans are able to "pass through" each other during this show.

Details:

  • Your bean still shows as normal on your screen (to make it clear to the player that you can still be impacted by obstacles)

  • Rounds where grabbing is a key element are removed from rotation for this show (Egg Scramble, Egg Siege, Basketfall, etc)

  • Some other rounds may be worth omitting even if grabbing isn't a key element (Snowy Scrap, Fall Ball, Hoarders, Block Party would be ones I would consider removing)

  • Tail games could still be in, with tails showing opaque, but could also be cut

Personally I think this would be a really interesting show to see how much it would change the strategy up on several levels. Would you all be interested in seeing this as an option?

Cool idea, love it. Something I know now is that transparency is super hard to code and there are a lot of elements to this which would require hooge effort.

Nonetheless, I have shared this idea with the team - we are snowed though and I am not sure when and if we start taking fan suggestions properly, but I love the idea of not being able to see any beans and almost 'play alone' with just the obstacles!
