Give me a Zelda clone where rupees are Bitcoin.
When you die, continue where you left off after you pay token/bitcents, which you could have possibly earned in game.
I think the natural ease of earlier levels and building up Bitcoin would feel good and the challenges would be more rewarding as they get harder.
The only way I could see this particular made up game working is if the user is not allowed to 'cash out' any built up coins until they beat the game. So basically no one would just replay the earlier and easier levels over and over.
You could figure out the math on the possible max amount of coins a person could get versus the costs to play etc. There would be some math to work out, but I could see a game like this being profitable, fun, plus engaging to the user to keep them playing for longer. No more spin the wheel in the Bitcasino, but something a person would want to play after a day of work or school or something.

It would completely fill a niche if a major game in development used Bitcoins for their in-game currency. They already have exchanges set up for in game currencies. They might as well just use BTC and allow players to use it.
Also, I used to play these strategy games on my phone that pretty much had the same theme. You work your vampire/mob boss/zombie/etc and he gets experience which he then uses to buy at token/diamond/gem/etc to get better stuff in the game. You could, of course, purchase more tokens/etc to advance quicker. Which is where they got their money. But we could create an open source type of game like this where you need to spend BTC to get more tokens.
Edit:
I have created a Bitcoin Pool for anyone who wants to see something like this developed.
Signing up is easy, you only need 10 mBTC to join the discussion (the 10 mBTC stays in your wallet).

With enough interest we can get something working. Let's do this.
