I absolutely love the concept you went with and the art and music tie it all together perfectly. The game is very challenging although it's possible I'm just terrible at it =)

hartvichio 2022-04-04 21:58

Thanks @omers ! I am glad it was fun! The difficulty is a little bit NES styled like the art haha

charlesschar 2022-04-04 22:26

Hahaha, I love the concept of the game and it's fun to play as well. I think it could benefit from having an intro screen or something before it starts, as it is a bit abrupt.

wanooknox 2022-04-04 22:38

Your sprite work is fantastic! Bravo!

I sacrificed tons of cheerleaders to save grandma, hilarious entry! Good job!

jyumonji 2022-04-05 06:05

I found this game from the post. That's so attracting!

northerndevguy 2022-04-05 06:09

This was great, I feel like it's a game concept of the song "grandma got run over by a reindeer" and done really well. it's quick and it was fun, nice entry!

What a fun and funny game! It really had the warm cozy feel of an old school game. I loved the dog driving the steamroller lol, and the great sacrifices that must be made for progress. Haha! Thanks for the game! :dog:

vilmantas 2022-04-05 06:52

what an interesting idea. The art looks great. Really good usage of the free space for text info, i like how it's positioned to create this sort of a form that looks like it's part of the map. This is much cooler than simply having it stare at the user. Will try to use something like that for my own game next time!

mira 2022-04-05 06:56

realy love the game, never play something like this. So original, good graphics and lovely music. good entry all off you

wobbleblocks 2022-04-05 12:12

Haha I love it!

ds-nahogara 2022-04-05 12:17

This is a great game! I laught my buttie from throwing those girls into the truck haha! The art and sound is amazing here, fantastic work :v:

tan-games 2022-04-05 13:19

hahaha! black haired johnny bravo killing cheerleaders to save grandma. Good laugh and well executed art and sound. Will recommend after a hard days work. :D

taaada 2022-04-05 13:59

the game sadly is having very bad performance for me in the HTML build. Cannot really play and the audio loop is v ery jittering

hartvichio 2022-04-05 14:03

@taaada sorry to hear Taaada we can try putting up a local version, I'll let you know if and when that happens.

trev3lyan 2022-04-05 15:21

I've been looking forward to playing this since I saw the main character posted on discord. I was not disappointed, this was great! I especially like the UI and the variety of obstacles.

velvetlobster 2022-04-05 15:44

really wanna play this but it is crashing my browser sadly, anyone else having that or is it just me?

jzucc12 2022-04-05 15:53

Granny, nooo!!! Fun and silly game. Good job! I didn't have any performance issues at all.

dan-livings 2022-04-05 15:54

In this game you play as the embodiment of the gigachad sigma grindset and sacrifice cheerleaders to protect your grandma at all costs.

As well as the hilarious concept, I enjoyed the isometric art style and the way the infinite scrolling for the world works.

Great work!

sprotex 2022-04-05 17:36

Since some of you are experiencing issues with the web build, linux and windows build are now available under the same link! You can find them at the bottom of the game page on itch. It's the same version, no other bugfixes or tweaks were made. @taaada @velvetlobster

Thank you all for your kind words! :slight_smile:

collin-visser 2022-04-05 19:51

Very fun game - did I have to use the dog :(

marcenat 2022-04-05 20:51

Really funny game, with nice music. Graphics do the job, soudn effect too. I have a probelm with the control and the parallax, for me it's really hard to move where I want too with that camera angle, but maybe it's just me :)

jackaljk 2022-04-05 20:57

This is a great concept and a fun implementation! I'm quite impressed with how you laid out the UI too. Also love the humour and sounds!

tsugumi 2022-04-06 12:06

such a great game with nice humor! I like it, but I also find it a bit difficult to aim. T_T

bodcodes 2022-04-06 14:06

Very amusing indeed. Nice isometric visuals with rousing audio. Started by saving granny with only the inanimate objects but soon abandoned all principles in pursuit of a high score.

emaigualmc2-art 2022-04-06 18:16

This game is so much fun!! really the art and music and the level design is very well done so that the humor of the game is the most important and makes it so much fun. Maybe it would improve the character's movement a bit since it moves too fast, or maybe guiding it with the mouse would be much more comfortable. Great great job! xD

yeti-kid 2022-04-06 20:34

This is really fun! Some very funny objects like the baby haha! It was different a great to see a different type of game! The cheerleaders being ran over were a nice touch haha!

wilko 2022-04-06 23:12

Great fun, would have liked for all of the different objects to cause the steamroller to slow down in different ways. Like the roller would spin around when it hits the bananas.

sigill 2022-04-06 23:12

This was fun! Unfortunately I died a couple of times during some good runs due to getting stuck behind objects I just placed. I'm not sure what exactly happened because the game is rather fast-paced and I didn't have much time to figure out if I actually got stuck in all directions. Other than that you did a good job on making a nice little game!

the-fazzo 2022-04-06 23:16

The idea is simple but very well implemented, the art is amazing and the audio gives a very good vibes. You could improve the movement of the character (a bit slower), and it would be great to see blood the roadroller passes over the people.

hawke-games 2022-04-07 13:48

Weird game Lol. Picking up objects can be a bit hard but I got used to it. I just wish the restart button was different from the pickup button because I'll sometimes restart by accident and don't see my highscore.

chairshot-games 2022-04-08 00:21

Fun game! The idea is very clever and the music is great. I do wish some stuff appeared at the start of the game, as the steamroller is almost at the grandma when stuff starts to spawn.

jasontherand 2022-04-08 01:38

I got up to 128! This was very funny and absurd. It was fun to see all the different things you could put in the way, the only thing I would change is making things easier to pick up. I would walk around pressing space trying to get the thing only to be too far to the side. Still, it helped keep up the panic feel and made everything feel frantic. You all did a great job!

nash 2022-04-08 13:46

A simple concept but superb execution. Very neat art style and the music is cool too. The music actually reminds me of Theme Hospital soundtrack.

I was kind of confused that the game just instantly started. I would have appreciated a start screen (just press Space to start) with the controls included.

hartvichio 2022-04-08 13:55

@nash yeah had it not been a LD project it would have an intro screen :D. Maybe we'll get to do some polishing in the future. I am glad you enjoyed the game.

PS: we ended up putting the controls in the gamescreen to save time.

makerart 2022-04-09 08:50

That's hilarious)) Defiantly funniest game so far. First one out of 50 I already saw here! On a glory of grant ma))

mirianbr 2022-04-09 21:39

I'm the worst, poor grandma!

Very well executed, nice graphics and audio effects. I couldn't get too far though, and would love to see an "easy" slower version :smile:

corrupt-spaghetti 2022-04-11 20:41

Interesting idea. It's a bit laggy at times, especially when restarting after a gameover.
