You might get away with
this if you shrunk Willy even further; for example, a
game set entirely in the bath from 'The Bathroom'. The
tap alone could take up nine screens, with the
guardians being the various germs that inhabit the
plug-'ole. Maybe this has already been
contemplated.

Perhaps, but it would probably have to contain no
collectibles - if you missed one then there may be no way back
and the game would be uncompletable.
I imagine
'gimmick' ideas are unsustainable across more than a
limited number of screens.

Perhaps like 'Bugaboo the
Flea'?
