  • A super cool concept! After the first playthrough the dogs starting spawning instantly and it was a bit hard to play, maybe some way to actually eliminate the enemies or some powerups could have made it even more engaging! The art was super charming, go battle grandma! --- 27/40

Love the art style. The game is simple but very fun. I really like just how hectic it gets as time goes on. My only suggestion would be to make the difficulty curve not so step. I think it should be hard to make it really far, but not so hard that you die in the first 30 seconds of the game. I would think a good game length would be like double that. Probably 1-2 minutes. (I also might just be bad). Anyway, great submission, and I wish you good luck on future game development!

Great art style and a really cool twist on the connection theme! I do think I may have found a way to perma win, at a certain point I managed to hook all of them and they stopped spawning which ended with a stalemate of how long i could hold the button. Really fun time! Great work! Keep it up!

Oh my goodness; they spawn so fast haha. This was a fun game. I love the gameplay mechanic and how it connects (no pun intended) with the game jam theme. Love the visuals. Grandma Needle looks like they could take all these baddies in a fist fight. Thank you for making a browser-playable game, by the way.

Interesting concept! Would be interesting to see it scaled up!

Cool!


The main mechanic is neat - I wonder how it would work if you tried to make a level system with it? The endless spawning is fun but I think variation in level design would help fully flesh out the concept.

I like the puppet art, they're cute - but they're a little too small on the screen to appreciate the fine details of the art. I didn't know the eyes were buttons until I clicked on it.

The grandma is terrifying. Which I think is the intent? So well done on that. I like her cool shades.
