Have you found grandma ? Cause i didn't :'
Amazing game. It has fun story and cure art style.
Very impressive! The artstyle was very cute, the music was both inspired and went well with the game. I enjoyed the labyrinth as well as the surprise ending. My favorite part was the satisfaction I got after dealing with those cows.
Wow… wow! The gameplay was fun of course with mazes and minigames, but the story and how it was implied was amazing! Great work! I can’t believe you managed to make this in just a few days. Keep it up! I guess one thing I could say is that mixing resolutions isn’t a good idea with pixel art - this was especially noticable with the rope. But the overall art style was great!
Amazing work, love the idea of telling a story through shopping lists! Did not expect a super saiyan boss battle, literally lol'd multiple times playing this!
Cool minigames. Great work!
Shopping list the rpg :D Simple but a lot of fun with the different mini-games
Great game. The health system is really unique. Although taking damage has no real consequences, slowing down the player is enough to make it feel like a thing to avoid.
What a story. Great game, would recommend.
Loved it, good story and great minigames!
This was epic haha, loved the progressing story in this game, made me chuckle alot. Good job to everyone involved!!
i solved the legendary maze.
Average grandson experience. can confirm. 10/10
Really cool entry. lots of content and very well presented :)
I must say I got a little frustrated with all the chores, but I played through the end and it was so worth it. Also, the fact that it got frustrating was very fitting with doing chores in real life. great work!
Thanks for all your help and struggles shopping for grandma! I'm sure she was very happy. o7
haha, really nice one, I enjoyed finishing it, nice ending. I also visited the backrooms :) Well done
Woah! This game has a ton of content, especially for a game jam game. Super impressive! The story was really interesting and kept me playing. Great soundtrack too, had to turn up my volume for this one. Great job!
I don't know what demon possesed you to make this game, but I'm so glad it did! The music is the best part IMO, it's just so happy it never stops being funny.
Holy shit I can't believe you made this game in only 96 hours??? This game truly does scale in absurdity in the best way. The writing was fantastic and the mechanics were fun and varied. It took me a little while to realize that "shaking chickens" meant grabbing one and dragging it to the edge of the fence but getting eggs that way is absolutely hilarious. Love that the NPCs and the shopping list and the oblivious player character's ramblings all sketch out a story without ever actually spelling it out. 10/10 would inflict on all my friends.
It was a true grind, those 96 hours. I'm glad you saw the vision we had for the absurdity too; we had a pretty fun brainstorming session, but there were also more ideas we had to scrap for time. It did seem to take people a while to figure out the chicken game, so we'll work on being clearer, but it's great that you liked our writing too. Thanks for playing our game, and we'd be grateful if more friends came to help their grandmas shop!
Lovely game ! I really enjoyed all of the storytelling, the plot twits and the number of mini games you managed to put in there !! If I had to nitpick : the digging mini game was a bit tedious because of how slow the shovel's animation is. And I didn't see the text left by grandma on the shopping list right away because it's so washed out and the contrast with the background color isn't great. But I played a second time just to get to read it. Had a lot of fun !
Thanks so much for playing and for the comment! I'm so glad you had fun with the story and mini games (and even played it twice for the full experience O.o). Also, thanks for the critiques; we'll make sure to keep in mind animation speeds and text contrast next time.
man, this game is amazing. at the start, i was thinking to myself "wow, this is a cute little game", but it was genuinely really funny and dark near the end. (10/10)
