In desperate need of ideas...
Something in my general taste of projects 
Games, tools... You name it! And the sky's the limit with me, so don't be afraid to suggest something over-the-top hard; if it's too hard, I just won't do it

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
how about like an epic adventure? sort of like the game, Castle Crashers for xbox, or the game, Larry and the Gnomes on newgrounds.com? those are pretty epic.
usually consists of a couple of levels followed by bossfights.

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
OS's and stuff like that aren't very imaginative.
how about you do a game like doodle jump but the opposite. where you fall down and have to dodge the platforms. you could race sky divers if you wanted to go more in depth, and it could have powerups like parachutes and other things to slow you down. you could fall down in different countries for different levels.

A parachute would put you behind skydivers, if they weren't using theirs yet.

But that's already been done. Sheep leap.

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
lol what's sheep leap?
does it have racing skydivers in it, or different countries? or is it just a fall down game?

You just fall down and dodge the platforms.

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
A 1s1s something-or-other ^^ I find making 1s1s projects fun, so that's almost always the first suggestion I give 
Maybe a puzzle game?

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
Thanks everyone for your ideas!
@PlayWithFire - thanks! I may very well consider that.
@Wolfie1996 - what kind of puzzle game? I also like 1s-1s projects They're just really hard to make after a while...

Scrollers are rather epic... What about an epic game...
Scratch 1.4 defense!
Can't tell you anything else until you say you're interested.
Wolfie1996 said 1s1s puzzles... Those are cool! Something like Snap...

@iCode- what would Scratch 1.4 defense involve?

Re: In desperate need of ideas...
Recently came across a more graphics orientated version of scratch which you could print a finished image etc.. just wondered if it was possible to do a design for a cd/dvd and labels.. with placement of text in scaled circles..mixed with art program designs..well like paddle2see's?
Anyway a type scratch disc label/cover designer application.

Sounds like a good idea!
The only downside is that it would never be able to used practically because you can't print in Scratch.
