And you'll get it from your only Grandma. But old Granny has a loose tooth, and if she loses her loose tooth she might be too sad to give you your present.\r\n\r\nMake sure Granny doesn't lose her tooth and protect her from Toothfairies by placing food at corners to make Granny go around the fairies. Can you do it? But beware: Give her the wrong food and she might lose the tooth you tried to protect.\r\n\r\nAnd sometimes, just sometimes, she behaves just like you'd expect from an ol' granny with only one tooth left; that is: rather unpredictable. But that's her nature.\r\n=====\r\nThis is the first game I ever finished. There are 5 levels. Enjoy :)\r\n\r\n\r\n------------\r\nInstructions\r\n------------\r\nGranny usually takes the shortest path to the exit (the open space without a wall). But that way is always blocked by some fairies and they will steal her loose tooth.\r\n\r\nIt's your task to select and place some food at places where you want Granny to take a turn before you tell her to 'Go Granny, go'. The different kinds of food have various effects on the health of her tooth and you have to combine them correctly so that Granny gets enough food, doesn't loose her tooth (have you ever tried eating carrots with a loose tooth?) and doesn't get caries.","title":"Granny Loosetooth and the Toothfairies"}
