Meat tasting... "unusual"
Needing gasoline for her flower garden

Grandma being worried about a "dirt pile"
The literal backrooms

Your Grandma doesn't do the same? Thank you for playing! (And yes those cows are smth else)
This is such a fun short game. I loved the slow build up of the story throught the shopping lists and the end of day comments. [Spoilers ahead I guess?] I lost it when grandma entered a second phase. Nice work!
Ngl, the second phase was my favorite part of the game, and I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it as well. Thanks for playing and commenting!
Had to play to the end to get that full story! Lots of fun and enjoyable! I don’t know if it fits the theme but overall, very fun to play!
Thank you for helping Grandma! We're glad you had fun :)
Great game! I especially loved the progression and scaling of the story. The art was also clean as well as the minigame mechanics.
Omg I enjoyed that a lot! Played the whole thing! Congrats on getting so many different minigames in there!
I especially loved the way the narrative was told through the shopping list elements. Also I found the secret room in the store! That was fun!
Thanks for playing the whole thing! It was hard for us to get the minigames in, and some had to be scrapped :(, but it was nice to be able to work on them separately before combining them to the actual game.
Also, congratulations! I'm glad you found the secret room and enjoyed the maze level.
Im kinda confused on how this fits the theme but. I can safely say that the art and gameplay is really good in this.
Love it, but during the week with the longest list i wanted to die because of the digging mechanic.
Thanks for playing our game! Designing week 8 was very fun (you're welcome :) ), and we were definitely wondering how far we can push it and maintain being playable, so I'm glad it was met with good reciprocation.
That rope mechanic seems like a hassle to program! Very neat game, fun concept :)
I didn't program the rope, but I did hear a lot of complaints from it lol. Thank you very much for playing our game, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
