Waste Paper Basket Game



Just a silly little idea, but a (I think a fun little game). You know the feeling you get when you set up a long throw into the wastepaper basket on the other side of the room - and it goes in? Well, that's the feeling this game should capture.
Starting with a scrunch mechanic (to scrunch the object in your hand to make it more dense and more aerodynamic), you throw the object into a relatively close wastepaper basket. As the basket is place further away, you experiment with different degrees of object 'scrunch' and throwing force.
As you progress, you have to throw off a wall, two walls, moving objects, etc.... Wind resistance, etc could come into play, or not.. The game should be fun really, rather than too challenging ... How about trying to 'skip' an object to be disposed of over a bit of water, and into a large bin on the other side? (ahem)
