Would a game where you have to push/shove/blow a character around using some force count as indirect control compared to direct direction movement, etc?

On my opinion if theese forces are not fixed to the character itself but fixed to the world it would be.
For instance: Fixed fann to blow your character away, water currents, etc.

Essentially yes, however as long as you are not just creating another protagonist character just to manipulate your intended protagonist. I made sure to specify that in the rules to prevent such thoughts.

However, blowing (from wind?) or pushing using say gravity and/or slopes and the environement it's self or perhaps some kinda device(s) (ala The Incredible Machine style of play could work)

...but of course you do need to have at least 1 protagonist character of some kind.

Speaking of The Incredible Machine (TIM), they are renewing that game by name Contraption Maker in Steam as early alpha version.

And as far as my self-programmed scheduling application tells, PGD jam has 13 days 5 hours left

Nice!

I can see that game becoming popular on touch screens for sure!

Well this is a quiet jam for sure... I'm guessing that everyone is heads down coding huh?

I hadn't even tried doing an entry at this point, maybe I will try on my 7 days off in 3 days time LOL

I'm having hard time finding free time to work on my entry due to work and other real life related obligations.
So I fear that story will reapeat and againg I will wind up with no entry due to running out of time.
