Originally created for the One Map Game Challenge in the RPG Maker forums

  • Goal: Get grumpy Grampy to open the door for sweet Granny!
  • 10-ish minutes of gameplay?
  • This was my first completed mini project.
    - Small and cheesy but I enjoyed it!  :)

Play Mechanics:

  • UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move character or change selection
  • SHIFT held to dash while walking
  • ENTER or SPACE to select/examine/interact (or finish dialog boxes)
  •  X to enter/exit menu
  • F4 toggles full screen on/off
  • Not designed for mobile browsers so image may not appear correctly.  
    • If game works on your device: tap what you want to interact with (or to advance dialog)
    • Menu in upper-right-hand corner

I really enjoy playing this game. It's a lot of fun and has a great reward.

Well done to the developer.

That was a short and fun little game. Although, you didn't use the Reid sprite you used his face image. Also congratulations on finishing this, especially a One Map challenge. I hear it takes a bit of skill to finish.

Thanks, Kazuki_T126!  I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks a bunch for telling me about the face image too.  I totally missed that!

UPDATE:  Fixed

Thanks, Dreamfall887!   This started out as me working on a template for something when I thought, "This needs a map."  Then I was messing around, so decided to add a couple more NPC's and turn it into a little game for the One Map Challenge.  :)
