If you thought your grandmother’s Sunday drive was terrifying, wait until you see what independent studio Robot Laser Shark has been cooking up!
The Estonian indie team has just dropped a brand-new gameplay trailer for their hilarious, clay-crafted party game, Grannies on Wheels. The concept? Fearless grandmothers, massive monster trucks, precious jars of jam, and a whole lot of glorious, physics-based vehicular destruction.
Whether you’re a fan of local couch multiplayer games or just love pure, unfiltered absurdity, this is one title you’ll want to keep on your radar.
What is Grannies on Wheels?
At its heart, Grannies on Wheels is a chaotic, four-player party game designed to look like a vibrant claymation world brought to life. The story goes that a grandchild left with Grandma—and a lump of modelling clay—decides to kill summer boredom by building the wackiest toy set imaginable.
The result? A cast of sweet-looking clay grannies who turn utterly ruthless the moment sweet preserves are involved.
Up to four players compete on a shared screen across dynamic, deformable arenas. Instead of standard health bars, every jar of jam represents a life. Players must protect their own sweet preserves, ram into opponents, steal their jars, and settle all family disputes through tactical vehicular damage.
Key Features to Look Out For
- Jam is Life: Protect your jam jars at all costs! Ram into your friends, swipe their preserves, and make sure you’re the last grandmother left standing behind the wheel.
- Claymation Aesthetics: Everything—from the sweetest grannies to the oversized monster trucks—is designed to look like handmade clay toys straight out of a child’s imagination.
- Dynamic, Deformable Arenas: The ground beneath your wheels isn’t just for show. Monster trucks leave deep ruts, alter terrain, and reshape the arena as the round goes on.
- 4-Player Couch Chaos: Perfect for local multiplayer sessions where shouting at the screen and blaming unpredictable physics is mandatory. Don’t have four players? Bot grannies are ready to step in—and they are just as aggressive.
- Mini-Games & Chaotic Modifiers: From race tracks to late-game modifiers (think reversed controls, strange camera angles, and random black holes), no two rounds ever play the same.
“We wanted to create a party game that anyone can understand within seconds,” says Andri Allas, game designer at Robot Laser Shark. “You drive, you jump, you hit your friends, and you steal their jam. It is a simple and completely reasonable conflict-resolution system.”
