Open-world kung fu crime game
Retirement is overrated.
Kick your way through an endless, fog-soaked city, rob every shop, steal any car and outrun the police. One furious grandmother. Zero patience.
The game
Kung Fu Granny is a third-person, open-world action game with a deliberate PlayStation 2 look: low-resolution, dithered and drenched in smog. You are a grandmother who has had enough, and the streets are your dojo.
Fight with fists and feet, grab a gun when you must, and treat every shop door like an invitation. The police escalate as your heat rises, so keep moving, steal a car, duck into an alley, or go and see the priest.
Every new game builds a brand new city from a random seed, so no two grandmas ever run the same streets.
Features
01 / Combat
Fists and feet are all Granny needs. Take on thugs, hobos and rival old ladies who hit back, level up with every award and upgrade your fists as you go. When talking fails, a pistol, Uzi, SMG, shotgun or sniper rifle is one key away.
02 / Heists
Each storefront has a glowing money bag at the door. Walk up, press E and the camera cuts to the entrance while cartoon chaos erupts inside. Cash pours in for about fifteen seconds, then you have seven to get far away. Make a clean getaway, or the shopkeeper calls the cops.
03 / Wheels
Pull the driver out, take the wheel and drive. There are 20 hand-modelled vehicles, from rusty hatchbacks to fast cars for the rich, with real-time crash damage, handbrake drifts, a horn and a radio. Police cruisers have working light bars and sirens, too.
04 / The city
Every new game generates a fresh city from a random seed: Old Town streets, East Block housing, parks with churches, back alleys and tunnels. There are no walls and no loading borders. Traffic lights change, pedestrians panic, hobos lurk in the alleys and the day turns to night.
Low-resolution, ordered dithering, limited colour depth and heavy fog. You can even change the pixel size, dither and colour depth in the options.
A five-level heat gauge brings more patrol cars, tougher cops, shotguns and finally spec-ops units with SMGs.
Walk up to the priest at the church and press E to absolve your sins. A little divine light cools a lot of heat.
Spend cash on weapon upgrades, repairs and heat removal at the shop. Every award level-up grants more health, ammo and a free upgrade.
Rival grandmas that never back down, hobos in the alleys and cops that chase on foot when the car is not an option.
Single-player with keyboard and mouse or gamepad. Save and continue any time from the menu.
Confession is free
The priest can absolve your sins. Walk up to him and press E.

About the developer
Hi, I am Nikola, a 28-year-old indie developer from Croatia and Slovenia, and Kung Fu Granny is my first game.
I designed it, built it from scratch and I am publishing it myself: the systems, the city generator, the heat and police logic, the cars, the HUD and the sound mix. It is the game I wanted to make, and I hope it makes you laugh while Granny wrecks the neighbourhood.
The game is built with Unreal Engine 5 and Blender. I also use AI-assisted tools where they save time, mostly for debugging, untangling dead ends, tidying up model topology and generating some 3D models and textures that I rework by hand. The design, the direction and every creative decision are mine, and Steam gets the full AI disclosure.
Indie marketing is a team sport, so I am teaming up with 24indie.com, a platform that helps independent games find their audience.
Release: Coming soon
Wishlisting is the single best way to support a small indie game. It costs nothing and it tells Steam that people want this.
The Steam page is on its way. In the meantime, press and creators can grab everything they need from the press kit.
