Research for minigame ideas

I thought about alot of different ideas for what to base my games on and i came up with fairy tailes,
I think that its a good idea to have some cohesion between everything so that the game makes more sence and a better feel to it.
With fairy tales almost everyone knows each story, or if they dont they have heard of it and know the idea that its about, it also makes it have more of a unique selling point because they games aren't just random games, they each have a story behind them.

Before i really got into what i was going to do, I started on playing around with flash, testing things which i wanted to do; i knew i wanted to make a puppet game and i had a random diea of him catching apples falling from a tree. But at home I brain stormed and asked people for ideas to make my game better, and I came up with the fairy tale theme. So from there i thought of jack and the beanstalk as the game where you move left and right catching the falling objects.



"Jack steals a bag of gold coins as he makes his escape down the beanstalk. Jack repeats his journey up the beanstalk two more times, each time he is helped by the increasingly suspicious wife of the ogre and narrowly escapes with one of the ogre's treasures. The second time he steals a hen which laid golden eggs and the third time a magical harp that played by itself."

I use the opening screen to the game as a general reminder of what the outline of the story is, on this one i showed the beans being thrown out the window and a beanstalk growing.
I read up about each fairy tale, taking ideas from the stories to use in my game.
I planned to make the games really advanced but ive found it hard to research everything i need, spending awhile just trying to make objects fall and being able to be caught.
Although it was hard, ive been able to make golden eggs fall from the sky which goes back to the story of him having a chicken which lays golden eggs, i wanted to add harps that rarely fall which when collected spead teh game up and played music. I also thought it would be good to have some stage where you have to dodge things instead and you hear the quoute
