Very tricky game! I know she is a grandma but I wish the movement speed was little faster. It made me not want to retry as much whenever I had to start over. Might be because there is a long stretch without many obstacles at the beginning. Took me a sec to know that you could move with the arrow keys but I figured ti out. I know you put it in the controls but maybe you could have made ti a little clearer. Either way great work andI love the unique take on the theme. Keep it up!

Now imagine me playtesting the game over the week and moving that speed for hundreds of attempts, I feel your pain. thanks for sticking with it!

Simple mechanic with a challenging gameplay. I liked playing it.

I think she broke something like 12 legs...

Original & simple (although having the controls features more prominently at start would be better)

I enjoyed playing it :)

Developer

I totally forgot about people needing to know the controls until really late, definitely need to move them. Thanks!

What an interesting game, I was allowed to control a grandma which walks 0.5 miles per hour, hehe
But its worth to go on such a hike for lil Jimmy.
Great job with the game ^^

Really like the take on the theme, the gameplay is simple but spot on. The little pouch that opens when you take the coins is a nice touch. Also, the game title is really funny!

My grandma like to watch TV in Japanese heated table.
She really always stay there...
Sometimes eat mandarin.
She only can cook boiled egg in soy sauce.
I didn't like that meal, but I might try someday...
(I wish in game grandma happy too.)

It's easy to keep your balance, but it's hard to change direction at the same time. Great game.
