How about Kung Foo Jirrafe
Noah has failed in collecting animals for his ark! He is delegated to ark design and construction, while you, a giraffe blessed with kung fu powers, are assigned to defeating and capturing the other animals! It would be a fighting game that would pitch you against rhinos, lions, bears and other nasty creatures!

How about Kung Foo Jirrafe Not sure about the fruity spelling, to be honest. |

I dunno, somehow I like that spelling. It should come off as horribly 'RADIKOOL' but instead it... doesn't. To me, anyway.

IMHO this choice of name ties the fortunes of your game to Kung Fu Panda. If you are aiming at making a parody of that Franchise then this kind of reference is fine. If not it might be problematic. We don't know how long Kung Fu Panda will stick in our memory. As soon as it fades away, the name of your game will loose its point.

It had already fallen out of my memory, that's for sure. :D
The problem with changing the name is that you should generally focus on either the main character or the objective when you name the game. I would name it something like "ANIMALS COLLECT", but I don't want to come off as too cheesy.
Wait wait, I just thought it up: Judo Jiraffe! Chopping its way to a computer near you!

Though judo is mostly about grappling maneuvers and throws, so it might seem a bit weird if mr. Jiraffe starts whacking other animals on the head. |

Ok, since a while ago I'm working on this project with a colleague and we just couldn't settle for any name yet (we both are indeed bad with names). It's an action/skill multiplayer game with the premise to bounce other players off of hovering platforms. The setting is a lab of a nutty professor who's testing his invention with unkind experiments. The result are gene-altered chimps with a high aggression potential who have been shrinked by his newest invention - the minimizer 2000 - to a fraction of their original size and have to compete in his self-built arena in the center of his lab. By means of constant electric shocks the chimps have the impregnable disire to knock out everything that comes their way as well as clearing the arena from all their conspecifics. The basic gameplay mechanic is based on skill, reaction and timing - a constantly moving bar determines the strength of each punch. The goal is to get the most points and the fewest falls (at least for the basic gameplay mode). This is what it looks like:   He can even slip on a banana (no stand up animation yet):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg2TaWCL-8QAnyhow, we need a name for the game. We had a couple of ideas, but none of them could convince both of us. Here are some of them: + Pogo Brawl + Bouncing Monkey Smackdown + Riot Labs + Smackthropoid: Unleashed + Banana Bounce Any ideas? |

 Anyone else thinking that given that logo, that Lacteous Force might be a better title? |

I suck at names, so I'll just throw out some good ol' alliteration: Mutant Monkey Madness. What with them being genetically altered and everything  |

Ah, I just had another idea based on them being shrunken: MicroMonkeys, or NanoChimps :D
Oh god I should just stop.

I like the idea of having "smackdown" in there--it makes it sound fun and perfectly evokes the idea of a monkey brawl. How about Small Monkey Smackdown? Wait...that sounds wildly inappropriate. Never mind.  Monkey Brawl is probably better. |

I disagree. I would go for Tiny Monkey Smackdown. |

Heh, thanks for the replies. I dunno, should the miniature thing really be in the title? It's more some kind of cheap excuse why the background is just one large room and the level and monkeys still fit in.  Personally I think it should concentrate on the punching and I quite like the word 'Smackdown'. Allthough the triple M name (Mutant Monkey Madness) is quite catchy too. Bananza is also nice, but I know about a game called Beananza that is about - who would have guessed - beans! Right! Anyway, just a little too disposed for me. Any more ideas? |
