  • 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!
