The humor in this is right up my alley! I really wanted to like this one but those punks on the street especially combined with the rats are super unforgiving, I couldn't make it past them. It wouldn't be such an issue if it didn't send you back each time you die, since you walk so slowly and have to take the elevator each time. The enemies move way faster than you and you only have a lateral attacks so if they cut in at you diagonally there's nothing you can do but take hits, and you can't really kite enemies because of your speed and woefully short attack range, taking on multiple enemies at once (they like to stack) is definitely a roulette.

I'd really like to see more of this game with some balancing reworks!

Glad you liked the humor, that's mainly what I'm going for. Luckily there really isn't much else than the street and the one lady to murder, since this is a jam game entry. I will keep working on it and expand it into a full game soon. Combat is not central to the game though. It's more of a point and clickish adventure/puzzle game, with elderly brawling involved as well.

After the Jam is over and the results are in, I will probably have some more to show.

Thanks for playing!

Great game! Had me in stitches!

I really wanted the bag of drugs to be cocaine and then mix it with the cat food to make the cats eat the old lady...  That way there was no suspicion on me.  Does that make me a bad person?

The rats in the hall were a bit much.  Killed me several times just trying to continue down the hall.

That's exactly how you kill the old lady without suspicion. Exept the drugs are bath salts, not cocaine. Maybe cocaine would be funnier.

Really entertaining animations, fun gameplay and a hilarious theme.  The creator is a sick bastard but the dude made a great game.

I wish my gran pa was like him !

Really fun and quirky game. Reminds me somehow of a mix between Maniac Mansion and 80's Nickelodeon shows.
