- Cute game! I loved that Granny would come looking for me. She got stuck now and then but no big deal. I could see how you could take this idea further, add more pressure in different ways to get the task done fast. Granny making you do more chores, or interrupting you with granny based things would work well i think!
Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes!
Tell us about your game!
In an enclosed area (Grannys garden) you are tasked with removing invasive plants as they spread in waves. The plants are tough and you need to pull on them for a while before they give in. If the plants exceed the max number you lose. Make sure that you have cleared enough before the next way. The number of plants in the next wave and time remaining to it is shown to the player. If you destroy all plants, at any time, you win! As you do not see the entire gaming area you will need to look to find all the plants.
To add an extra level Granny will come looking for you and offer some chit-chat and coffee. If caught you will have to play the Coffee minigame. Hit space when the cup is in the zone on the bar four times to make Granny happy and she will leave for her house. But as soon as she reaches her home, she will come back with another cup! Hitting dead center of the bar with the cup will make Granny happy at once.

My favorite here was the character animations. Some much personality and expression coming through the few animations you've made. Well done. ❤
congrats on this entry, it's pretty well made on it's own as a jam entry but making it in 20 hours as a solo dev makes it pretty respectable! really liked the art and the gameplay albeit not super complex, is engaging enought to play with the game until godot web export crashed my browser. great job!
Great art. Granny got stuck a lot. Very tedious trying to find all the plants. I recommend putting the text from your submission questionnaire on the itch page as well so its right there when you are reading about playing the game.
Thanks for the feedback. You are probably right about the number of plansts. Fewer plants i shorter intervals. I do however think you need a decent mount of plants, so you have to plan a route that allows you to hide from Granny. But level design and Grannys navigation was (as noyticed) a bit of a last minute . :)
Love it! It's like a simulator of pulling weeds in animal crossing. Mechanics were very intuitive.
Enjoyed the art!
Get away from me granny I don't want any coffee!!
Great art and pretty fun game loop, good job!
