About
Grendel's Mother is a game based on the old English epic Beowulf. Specifically, the player plays the role of Beowulf hunting Grendel's Mother by diving through Grendel's lake. The game's only story comes in the form of quotes from Beowulf. There are 8 levels, the goal is to reach the bottom and kill Grendel's Mother.
The game was made as an attempt at a 1/2KBRL by elig, but was too large to be called such. Still, it ended up being 4.4KB which qualifies as a <5KBRL. The game was also made in 7 and a half hours, making it a <8HRL.
