  • Heya, thanks so much for participating in the jam! I like this idea, creating the character of the grandma to inject some urgency. It was nice having split goals as well, and it definitely increased in difficulty as time went on, just because there was limited space. Graphics were good, but the soundtrack was top notch. Great work there. My gripes come from a couple of places, both implementation focused. First, I had some issues where the game would stick objects to my character, and I could no longer put them down or give them to sister, this broke the experience a bit. Secondly, I struggled a bit to understand when and why grandma was mad at first. The description on the game's page explains this, but in-game clarity around the cause and severity of her anger would be really appreciated. Break points like her anger boiling over (game over) should be really clear, but that last 5% was very ambiguous once you reached her red face. If she calmed down over time, this also would help show the state a bit more clearly. Perhaps a bar, timer or number next to her face throughout, or even just before the game over, would have been helpful.

I loved the graphics and the music. The grandma getting mad in the corner was hilarious. Interesting concept! I did have a bug where the sofa's got stuck to the player, both of them actually, when accidentally bumping into another object while holding down the space bar. Other than that nice little game!

your game is so hard! granny is so demanding! very immersive, even with furniture getting stuck to you. textures and sound are great, and i love the idea you came up with

The concept is cool and granny's face in the foreground is really funny! The music fits well too. There's a bug that causes objects to get stuck on you if you drop them near other objects, I had almost all furniture that was brought inside glued to me hahaha

I think the game is pretty cool and it fits the theme well. Like others have mentioned already though it is pretty buggy haha picking up multiple boxes, getting furniture stuck to yourself and I couldn't find a way to restart if you lose. But I still had fun :P Nice job!

The music was catchy and I liked the character designs! I did get a piano stuck to my foot. And a couch. Grandma didn't get mad at me though!

This could be a great game, but I think I broke it in every possible way. I locked myself out of the room, won without having all the items in the room and picked up some items I couldn't drop. :( I love the idea and angry grandma though! :D Overall it's good, without bugs would be great! :) 

Developer

Yeah I really wish I had more time to fix all the bugs. definitely bit off more than I could chew haha. Thank you for the feedback and the kind words :)

Love the sprite work and the concept really suits the theme! Got the same bug as others mentioned where the box was stuck above my head. Other than that, great job!

Developer

Thank you! :D

Well, the table's color is a bit off

Developer

:o how did she get all the way over there? oh dear...

Submitted(+1)

You also can try to guess why table is outside and why gran isn't angry but some time already past).

You can walk out with player, enter level from the right and do some weird things that will kinda break game

Cool Game! I had a bug where I had a box over my head at all times without holding it. I also found it hard to control the movement. But the art style is very cute and it was fun to play ^^

Developer

Thanks!!

I run into bugs in 2 separate gameplay. First, the piano stuck on me. Second, I got piano, box and dresser stuck on me lol. Other than that, I quite enjoy the gameplay.

Developer

Ahh sorry to hear about the bugs. Thank you for playing though and hopefully I'll be able to fix all of them once the voting period ends xD

Fun little unpacking. Nearly everything became a part of my character which I didn't mind but did found funny to see as I keep collecting more stuff to add to my character lol. Awesome work!

Developer

haha whoops! Thank you for playing :D

I really enjoyed this playing this! It was fun to try and figure out where to push everything without getting stuck surrounded by different objects.  I had a little bit of a time trying to pick up objects at first but once I figured it out I also experienced the bug where I couldn't drop objects.  I really liked the art style that you went with and the music was a great touch too. 

Developer

Thank you I appreciate the kind words

I really liked the art and music! I actually bugged the game by holding space and running into multiple objects, the last object I ran into would be the one that dropped, but everything else kind of just stuck to the player as if it was part of the sprite. Other than that, great job!

Developer

Thanks for the support! Yeah, I'm planning on addressing those bugs after the voting period ends :(

Nice music and art, i loved the concept and gameplay, tho i had some hard time picking stuff up
Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback. Considering that almost everyone experienced bugs with picking up objects, I'm probably going to update it after the voting period ends XD

This was a fun experience :) The artwork is amazing, and the music got stuck in my head after playing it. My only issue is that i had a hard time with picking up things, it seemed a bit buggy. Anyways, great job on this one ;)
