How did you/your team interpret the theme?
The hero comes back from a day of crime fighting, and his grandmom has to protect him while he's asleep
How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Feels good to play with pixel art!

interesting concept and good art.
My only problem is the difficulty, Grandma can't move when attacking and I don't understand the attack hitbox because it's very difficult for the attack to hit the enemy.
but overall it's a good game.
The hitbox is on the broomstick. The white trail + the stick are included in the hitbox, in fact, it’s a bit bigger than that.
The reason she can’t move when she’s attacking is because I wanted the player to have to carefully think before they attack/move. Originally, this restriction didn’t exist, and I just found myself spamming the attack key and running around the bed like a maniac, so it was wayyyy too easy.
I also tried adding an attack cool down timer, but it felt a bit limiting compared to actually making it two different moves was what felt the best as a compromise, and since I only had 4 days to make the whole thing, it was all I could do!
Thanks for playing!
i rated your game . it is a nice game
Very good grandma animations! Gameplay is simple but cool!
Thanks!
This game has emphasized the lack of playable grandmas in gaming. Justice for grandmas!
(These sprites are adorable!)
🤣 thanks!
I really liked the idea and the concept.. it was a bit too difficult in my opinion but besides that, i really liked it in every aspect.
Maybe it would be a bit easier if the damage that the grandma does was an area damage, or if you had a bigger field of view..
I’ve tried multiple solutions, decreased the opacity of the shadow, increased the hit area, made the grandma faster… I think I didn’t have enough time to experiment, maybe look at someone play it for the first time, and balance everything… I started the jam pretty late and I only had 4 days 🤣
Thanks for playing!
I loved the idea of this game, it was cracking me up 🤣
Beautiful art and the game play is straightforward and intuitive. Nice work!
Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you liked the idea, especially because it was originally my partner’s interpretation of the theme 😂
Concept is cute! Gameplay was fairly simple and most of the hits I got was because I couldn't get around the bed in time.
Yeah I had to tweak the speed so that it wouldn’t be too easy, but it ends up being a bit too hard too quickly! Maybe with more time I would have play tested more and found a better balance!
Thanks for playing!
Love the grandma walking animation.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!
Cool, original idea and nice pixel art. I had trouble playing at first becouse grandma can't attack downwards and sometimes I falt hits werent registering when I was close to the bed. Overall a pretty nice experience.
Thanks for playing!
The game is a good, short game! I like the dialogue. I generally like the whole game! It's very good considering you've done it on your own! The art is also good. I just think that you should do something to make it easier to go on the other side of the bed because it's hard to get a monster from the other side of the bed if you are on the other side.
Yeah multiple people have said the same thing! I think maybe increasing the speed would solve it, or maybe changing the resolution so that there’s more screen between the bed and the top/bottom.
Thanks for playing!
I really loved how you animated the grandma to move around, and the music was fun ! a like background would have added a lot too, but i think this is great!
Thanks for your comment and thanks for playing!
