Looks like the Golden Girls race. Short but sweet gameplay, and funny as well. I had to find the A button, though. I saw it was Z key.

How does your game meet GBJam's theme
I pretty much followed the theme literally. Can you win old gold?

Fun simple game that you made in just 2 hours. It can become much funner for sure with more time.
I liked the grannies art and the music aswel!
started giggling when i realised what was playing in the background. What a masterpiece!
For a game made in two hours, it’s actually pretty solid! It has a certain thrill to it. The concept, title, and description are all really fun:D
That said, it would have been good to mention—either on the game page or within the game itself—which key to press if you're playing on a keyboard)
for a game made in under two hours its still really fun game, i had fun playing it :D very simple gameplay that works well
That’s sort of the beauty of designing something in 2 hours, it’s gotta be simple. It also helps that the last game I made and am still working on is also a one-button game, so I have a some experience making games like this. Limiting yourself to a single button actually allows you to be more creative than if you’re working with an entire controller, not to mention it makes the game more accessible to people with disabilities.
Look, simple and stupid are often an amazing combination. This makes me think of those small mini-games like in Mario Party and WarioWare. It was short, simple, but still fun. I had to play a couple of times to win because I fat thumbed the space bar and that old hag in row 2 is clearly cheating… I’ll see her at the bridge table, then we’ll see who’s laughing.
Nice work.
For a game made in two hours, this is good. I could totally see this being fleshed out if you had more time. Nice job.
I honestly don’t know how much more I could do with this if I had more than two hours. Yes, I could have a title screen and maybe record best times, different sprites for the grannies, and maybe even difficulty levels. And you know what, I might even do that later down the road. But given I had so little time, I needed something that was simple enough I could pull it off, and I think the gameplay here is pretty much as good as it’s going to get, at least for this concept. Anyways, so glad you liked it.
The music is great The idea of gameplay is fun The colors are good, but common I couldn’t find what button A was
Sad to hear that you didn't have more time to work on that!
But I like your idea... in fact, our game has a similar proposal! If you have a chance, please check it out!
It’s all good. Having only 2 hours basically is the reason why I made this game. I probably would have made something completely different if I had more time. Of course, I would have loved to make a game with more to it that I could later fully develop, but I still learned a fair bit from making this game that I will definitely be putting to use in future games. In fact, I may even incorporate a version of this into my Help! game I’m currently working on as it fits within my constraints of it being a one-button game and would be a new game play dynamic.
Simple design but fantastic execution. I wish I could create something this polished in 2 hours.
