A fast-paced First-Person Shooter with minigames where you kill players with toasters, pizza and satellite dishes... And also shoot with chips? What kind of goofy game is this?!

About the Game

While Mom's Away is fast-paced First-Person Shooter where you kill players with toasters, pizza and satellite dishes...? Yep, that's right. Forget photorealistic graphics, what players really want is GOOD GAMEPLAY, and this does in fact have it (Quality assurance conducted by my friend from 1st grade and a Fiverr guy).

▶ CHAOS

"With great power comes great responsibility" - Your mom

Screw that lol, take the entire kitchen arsenal with you and dominate your opponents in all sorts of funky minigames.

▶ MINIGAMES

If you thought this game was chaotic enough, just wait till you realize each round here is different 💀 You won't get bored.
