Gran Slam by pixelspirit

[raw]
made by pixelspirit for LD32 (JAM)
You are the monster queen and lowly monsters, thinking you are your host - a frail old lady - have come to try to steal your castle / mansion / some big grand place. You put them in their place by swinging around your old lady host and beating them with her. Fun!


Warning! The export is a little weird, and it'll say that it's stopped working, and actually work quickly after that. It may be a lil laggy or buggy but I was seriously pressed for time. I tried to use every last minute, which was risky, but I'm pleased with it - shoddiness and all.

I hope you enjoy, nevertheless!

music & sounds: FreeSFX.co.uk
art: made in Gimp and Mypaint
programming: python & pygame

edit (4/24/2015):

- plans for post-jam version -

stun available while on ladder
fixing the range when picking up gems
increasing the amount of time between enemy damage
fixing damage (player dies at health 10 instead of 0 right now)
generally cleaning up code to get rid of lag
small art edits

Interesting idea! I liked the mood, with the mystrious music and all...but I feel the grandma thing would work a bit better as a comedic game XD.

Not bad for a game made in a couple of days though!

I just can't resist a good pun, so I had to try this ons. Funny picture too.

Nice game, althoug pretty soon I found the game getting too hard. I think the improvements you have planned all make sense.

I was looking for the sound rating, but then I realised you didn't make your own.
Good choice anyway, beacuse it is really moody.
