Looks super slick! Great work! I couldn't get her across the street with my laptop trackpad, but I had fun with your game still.

This game made me laugh, it has a really satisfying "feel" to it! Just the way the cars audibly crunch and slide after you punch them, as well as the way you punch and can swing your fist around, gives this game a really good arcade feel.

It took me a while to even keep Grandma alive a minute, I couldn't find a better strategy than "stay basically right with her and punch cars as they come from above or below". Straying too far from her to get powerups or clear the path was basically leaving death to chance, and I'd like to see gameplay that encouraged this a bit more (as otherwise it becomes kind of a simple twitch-response game).

I also enjoyed the crisp feel of the UI and graphics, it helped make the game feel polished overall. Great work!

I agree, this game is pretty outstanding for 48 hours! I couldn't get past 4 minutes haha

This is my favourite arcade/high-score game I think I've seen yet for this game jam! Really well executed with solid pixel art, crunchy sound effects and great gameplay. Great work! :)
