It only showed me a black screen when I tried to play (Windows 10, Firefox and Chrome). I tried every letter I could think of on the keypad, clicking and still nothing.

manage to get there, I'm not sure if this is the end.
Overall,it's a nice game. Cleaver idea to change classic platformer item into people to sacrifice.
Maybe add a tutorial or some hints would help player.

Wow I never knew that jumping on top of grandmas was so much fun. It would be nice to see other levels as I beat it fairly quickly. Or maybe some more variety in grandmas. The sections that you are supposed to ride a moving grandma could just be jumped through and that was easier than trying to stay on top. Overall it was a fun game with a great concept!

The game is fun with quite a bit of humor. Perhaps make it so that you can tell when your starting to burn.

Lol, interesting take on the theme. I think picking up and putting down could be done with the same button to streamline the controls a bit. You really need some feedback for the burns too. Where is the music from? It made the game so much more enjoyable. Had a fun time!

@publicidadeba, @disperse, @ruddgasm, @sockyman and @zsolt Thanks for the feedback! We’ll definitely add a health bar since that seems to be the main complaint.

@blobo and @silkworm-sweatshop - Thanks for the feedback. I wish we could take responsibility for that song, but alas, it’s from the band King Diamond. They have a pretty funny music video as well.

Awesome art and soundtrack choice. The 2 frames that start off the game at the beginning instantly sets the (hilarious) mood; that kind of polish really paid off.

The initial level design confused me a bit--I thought my grandma was the first old lady I met, and I tried to pick her up and jump to the right ledge to no avail. Then I took her out the door I came in from on the left... and the level reset. Only after I saw in the comments "jumping on grandmas" did I understand how to progress past the first part of the level. This confusion may have been cleared up by showing your grandmother's sprite in a thought bubble at the beginning frames.

Good mechanics and great humor

The controls are very slidy which may or may not have been intentional. I also didn't know if it was time-based or if you got hurt when on flames - either way some feedback and a status bar to show how much health or timeyou had left would be great.
