My First Entry!
With only a day and a bit available, and no dev workflow worked out yet, I decided to learn ActionScript and FlashPunk.

This is a game where you rob old grannies of their handbags, before they batter you to death.

this pretty good,will be better if they pursue you after you steal their bags, just my suggestion...

Good job! A bit hard to steal their bags and not loose health..

@syawqy Quite like that idea, would want some form of state machine and get them to tend their meanderings in the direction of you once they have been attacked.

Nice! The sound can get a bit annoying imo, but I love the concept and you did a great job making it into a game :)

That are some pretty hardcore grannies!

Fun game. Fits the theme very well. Quite hard, though.

That sound got annoying really quickly. Interesting concept though. A visual indicator for when the spin was available would have been nice also.

Fun but need more level and something to indicate you can use the bag again. It's look like 3 seconds inactive.

It was cute. Good colours. Could have been improved if you zoomed in and scrolled the screen. Also if the animations were a little more exaggerated.

Haha, old ladies with funny voices .D I started to hate them because of their epic swing-bag-attack. I couldn't finish the game - last granny hit me to death. I liked the game but I felt bad because I don't think there is a efficient way to get granny without being hit at least once.

I can finish about 1 in 3 when I concentrate. Think like a villain, try and get as many at once as possible then it stops the annoying ooo's then run away and chill out, for much longer than you attacked for.

I like those aggressive grannies :)
Very nice first LD entry

Good: Good gameplay and if i was a kid would have played this endlessly =) (i was a kid in the 80's)
Improve: Another level would be cool, and perhaps slow grannies at first and then could speed up when their friends lost their bags? =)

Too hard to snatch without getting hit. Maybe the spin radius should be bigger and more obvious, and the grannies should maybe move slower.

i really enjoyed it, but i could never tell when i was spinning. possibly add an animation for it? and the sound gets annoying really fast.

Oh god my ears. I had my volume little too high at the beginning. Anyway it was quite fun game.

The screeching and the sound of when you hit combined created a little symphony that basically sounded like Stravinsky on crack. :D

Fun little game.

Not quite sure I understand what the spinning is about but managed to beat the game. Fun but the grannies are rather vicious and seem to move a lot faster than I remember my granny moving.

I could not figure out how to spin or avoid getting damage while trying to steal handbag.
