Finding Grandpa
A downloadable game
Gandpa is lost, and you have to find him!
Help your poor granddad make it out of busy downtown by finding him and clicking him with the mouse! Each time you do, he'll probably just wander off again as the downtown gets busier and busier! Busy shoppers, kids, teens with phones, business people, sale signs, and food trucks all block your way to finding grandpa!
See how many levels you can beat in "Finding Grandpa"!
Controls: use the mouse to find and click on grandpa!
Created as part of the Game Dev Unlocked Jam #2!
Version history:
1.0 - Initial release
1.1 - Fixed a bug where you could still select grandpa after losing the game
UPDATE: Apparently selecting grandpa after losing bug is still present after level 1. I'll upload a fix soon.

Here’s some feedback I collected while playing it for the first time.
Sometimes you say ‘Gandpa’ and sometimes ‘Grandpa’ and sometimes ‘Granddad’. Not sure if that is intentional or not.
I like the music and the sound effects!
The game is very simple to play and to understand what you need to do. I’m guessing it’s not playable with a gamepad right?
Sometimes it’s a bit frustrating to click the Grandpa when there’s a lot of people around him, but I understand that frustration is part of the game so I think it’s a good thing.
I managed to get to level 8. 🏆
I don’t know what else happens the more levels you go up, apart from adding more people. Have you considered that people wear accessories like hats or jackets, so maybe Grandpa sometimes changes the appearance by buying a hat. Or maybe he buys and wears a different shirt so suddenly you have to switch your brain into looking for something a bit different?
Great work! I also love the art work.
these are some awesome ideas! I didn’t realize I misspelled grandpa in some spots, I’ll have to go back and fix it.
I had thought about adding power ups you can click on that slow the walking speed of everyone but grandpa, etc.. or elevators that people ride up and down sometimes. I only had limited time for the jam so this is what I ended up with but I might add more down the road
Not gamepad compatible unfortunately…
Oh those are good ideas! 🙂 I like the idea you came up with for the jam though! I understand that time was limited, I also had to leave out a lot of things. 😄
Yeah unfortunately that's how jams go sometimes!
