This was so fun! It's kinda easy to get overpowered, I didn't keep going because I was easily winning every day, but that can be fixed with some balance adjustments, the game loop is really fun and the different buildings are so cool, maybe you could have also added some different enemy types. Also the grave building and burying can get a little tedious. 
Overall I had a lot of fun with this game and just wanted to keep playing, the game loop is so cool and killing zombies is very satisying.

great submission! The only thing that I thing should have been played with a bit more is how the placement of graves works, otherwise it seems like you always just put them farthest away from the exit. If there was more to the strategy then that, then I missed it. Perhaps, having the graves automatically placed would make it more challenging? Not sure.
overall cool idea!

Very fun, loved the fact that you place the zombies will spawn and defend based of that. I managed to get to day 31. Is this endless?
