The Grind

One ritual that almost every gamer must suffer through once in a while is grinding. It's boring, it's tedious, and it never seems to end--so we made a game about it. With lovable characters such as "Boss", "Merchant", "Jim", and of course the feisty protagonist "Hero", The Grind is a game for lovers of whimsy and mind-numbing repetition. We have all kinds of grinding: sword grinding, coffee grinding, even bump and grinding! This is the first Gamejam for everyone on our team! Don't touch the arrow keys, WASD only--or you're in trouble. For the full experience, make sure you have the font Tandysoft downloaded.
