Don't Wake Grandma!

The Project

This is a fun little game for anyone that enjoys a challenge. The point of this game is to escape the house without Grandma waking up and catching you! If you get caught, you will lose a life. If you lose 3 lives, it will be game over and you will need to restart. On your way out of the house, you need to find different objects that she stole. Our game is a platformer, with multiple levels set across the rooms in Grandma's huge house.

Team Comments

We chose to make this game together because we thought it would be a great and fun idea for a game. We haven't made a game before but we started coming up with a story about a grumpy grandma and wanted to turn it into a game. We made a storyboard to show the different levels and story details.

As we are new to programming, it was hard to make our ideas actually work in a game. We asked our teacher for help and we completed some game making tutorials. Having our character collect items for an inventory was the hardest part. This took a lot of testing and debugging to finally get right.

We will keep working on our game to enter into other competitions later in the year. We would like to add more levels and collectibles. We want to learn how to make cutscenes and dialog to tell stories in the game. We are learning how to add other sprites, especially grandma, to interact with.
