Capy posts ideas from its internal game jam, and they all sound pretty good
11
Given the talent of the folks at Capy Software (who've made the excellent Critter Crunch, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, and most of the programming behind Sword and Sworcery), you'd expect them to prototype an interesting game in less time than it takes some to develop a full game. You're partially right -- they made seven.
All seven games from Capy's internal game jam are now listed over on the company blog, and to a title they all sound pretty good. The Final Act has the player acting on stage to win a battle, Ferret Wings features Captain Farris the Ferret fighting against Adolph Hamster, and Jetman Adventures (above) is described as "a kind of touch screen Panzer Dragoon/Defender hybrid with Fruit Ninja influence." Yes please!
Unfortunately, these are just prototypes developed over the two-day period of a game jam, so they're all unfinished (one turn-based tactical game, for example, didn't get any further than having just one unit), and most likely unplayable by the public. But one of these might plant a seed for Capy's next title, and when that flower blossoms we'll be happy to stick our noses right in it.

People still say "like a boss?"
Joystiqians, am I out of touch with the world or is it OGC here? Serious question. I genuinely don't know.

Are you sure it was an internal game jam? Because I just participated in a game jam this weekend.
On a related note, here's the game me and my team finished:

How could you have neglected the soon-to-be modern classic "Fart 'n' Burp"?!?
