Instructions

Grandma, you need to chill. Take some chill pills, but make sure you put them in the right container. Now, remember : pink pills go in the pink container. Green pills go in the green container.

Got it? Chill.

The game was intended to be played on Windows as is, with the LEFT and RIGHT shift keys.

IF YOU PLAY THE HTML5 VERSION, USE ARROWS INSTEAD *

Controls
LEFT - RIGHT SHIFT (RECOMMENDED) - doesn't work on HTML5 version

LEFT - RIGHT CLICK

M - MUTE (because sound is an after thought in LD)

Developer high score : 158 (I'm sure it was more but I'm giving you a chance)

Made with Game maker Studio

score of 71. The increase in size as you make mistakes was a nice touch, though the final zoom level was larger than my monitor (any way you could grab screensize data in html5?).

Main complaint is the travel time of the grandma. I think the game would benefit if:
-the color switched the frame I hit the appropriate button
-I could only hit a pill when part of it was over the dashed-white-line

Solid game otherwise.

A simple game but very nicely executed. Firefox exhibited some strange behaviour during the zoom/newgame.

haha, nice. pretty difficult after a short period :P

This game is stressing me out, I think I need a chill pill. The growing of the screen is a nice take on the theme and that plus the music changes really makes it more stressful.

Nice work! Fun little game, I like how the window size gets bigger as you make more mistakes!

This was a fun little game to play. I like how the screen gets bigger if you miss a pill.

Great execution and presentation on a fun arcade-y idea. Finally seeing how the Growing theme got incorporated was surprising and hilarious!

i dig the visual and music, i also like the effect when you got "no chill" lol, the screen getting bigger and bigger, i don't know whats the actual purpose of it, but it definitely make the game harder to play

Great little game. zoom level is a nice touch and something different. well done.

Neat, funny little game with a mean learning curve. I love the little touches like the skeleton grandma when you lose. Great music too!

NO CHILL

That's the best growing two button theme thing I've seen so far.

Elegant ans simple implementation of the theme. A humorous plot, too. Enjoyed it :)

Good math for both themes and nice work overall!

77. Simple premise, with a cool twist! Love the screen increase as a punishment, creates some nice chaos when it gets too big to see.

it looks like a simple game, but the true art you have achieved here is what is making this simple idea challenging, fun and addictive..this shows in little details with music changing, and when you think..."oh no..there is too much pills coming now! you get the 'that's chill' saving your a$$..very well executed!

Wow, thats a cool game. Love the music!

Addictive and the music tunedown when you loose is a neat idea
broknecho16 Dec 2015, 06:22
The zoom feature was really neat. Made it quite a bit harder. Failure just kept making the game harder! Neat idea. Well done!

Haha! Awesome! I love the grandma, and the fun style to the art. And what a clever use of screen size!

Very nice! The growing effect is impressive :D

Very cool, the use of "Growing" here is very unexpected and I think works really well =D

224. Fun twitch gameplay
Not too sure about the screen starting small and growing. Otherwise, fun little game.

Nice job! It took but a minute to figure out, and the sizing up as you failed to get the pills in the container was a nice touch!

I like how the controls are forgiving, unlike most rhythm games. You can turn back around and correct mistakes. Although these types of games need to be more synced up with a beat, or else the mood kind of falters.

Really fun entry. Nice take on the theme but the window would just grow bigger than my screen size but it was not that bothersome. Good job.

Solid game! I like how you incorporated the growing theme. Felt quite original. Simple game but enjoyable.
The music somehow managed to be very catchy and annoying.

Overall solid entry, good job!

Very fun. From a player perspective, I like how it increases in size as you play and mess up. From a YouTuber perspective...that's gonna be annoying to edit. xD Maybe make it optional?

I agree with the recommendation amras0000 said about making the color switch the moment you hit the button, also perhaps making the grandma travel faster.

Not particularly interesting apart from the screen growth. It does have a bit of an aesthetic sense going on, so I'll translate that to the Mood score we all love.
