grave robbing never paid well. Now it costs more than you thought.

Fantastic visual design and great atmosphere! I think the game is a bit too hard, but has a lot of potential. The upgrades are quite small and I wish the game would pause when browsing the shop. I do like how the shop changes place after a while. Nice job on the game!

great visuals, the merchant guy reminds me of joshua graham from fallout new vegas mixed with father gascoigne from bloodborne

Had a bit of a struggle with this one, but that's not necessarily bad. With some polish and tweaks this could easily be a real banger!The zombies are a bit rough to deal with until you get use to how everything works, but not terrible. I couldn't hear them sneaking up on me, which is kind of a missed opportunity for tension. It'd be fun if you directed the player back towards a grave they already dug up and you could see the zombie turning from that grave or something.

the art and visuals are really cool too!

Thank you for playing ! :)
The balancing was difficult because of the time constraints , if we had more time it would've been nice to mess around with it a bit more .. 

But glad to hear it was still fun ! :)

Nice entry! who knew that zombies were such a nuisance for graverobbers . Feels like a solid gameplay loop!

Thank you for playing ! Glad to hear it was fun :)

Liked the graphics and the idea. Zombies were too stronk and the maybe the digging animation was a bit slow. Great job, thank you!

Developer(+2)

Thank you for playing and the feedback ! :) These are things we would've had loved to fine tune more but unfortunately the time limit forced us to push what we had . Our designer stayed up 'till early morning hours and i think he did an amazing job concidering the circumstances :) hopefully it was stil a fun experience !

I have too may problems with the zombies. The Shovel does too little damage to start, and you have to keep retreating to avoid being hit. It doesn't help that the zombies have no walking SFX so they can easily sneak up on you while your digging. 


I also felt it strange that the zombies seemingly spawn from a random direction instead of say, the graves you have already dug up. 

It's a good concept, but I'm finding it a too frustrating to play.

Thank you for playing even though it seems it wasn't to your tastes ! :) Unfortunately we didn't have too much time for fine tuning so I understand your gripes with the game . Hopefully it was still fun to test it out :)

I like the gameplay loop and the resident evil style merchant is cool I think starting off is pretty slow and the zombies are a little bit too fast but other than that its really fun

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing ! :) I understand your critiques , the mechanics had to be quickly tested so sometimes these things happen .

This would be a great arcade game though the shovel animation could be a bit faster

I really like game overall! But shovel is to slow at beginning for me

Fun game with really well done visuals, I had a good time! Getting upgrades felt pretty rewarding, but I was killed at one point by a zombie while I was in the shop screen without realizing :(

Fun survival game, but I couldn't find the shop! haha. Our game also had the grave robbing theme. Great work!

Submitted(+3)

oh man I'm glad you pointed out how to get past that autoturn bug but I'm so bad at this game lol. I cant survive long enough to even get my upgrades. I just end up running. wonderful deisgn for the world characters and zombies and a really fun playthrough

Submitted(+3)

fun! It's so scary trying to frantically dig up as many coins as i can while seeing the zombies rise up haha
I think it would be nice if you could hold down the mouse button instead of having  to click a lot

Small bug (or a feature xD), zombies can kill you while you're in the shop.
Also the art of the shopkeep 10/10.

Great minds think alike! I also did a grave robbing game! This was super fun. Great job!

'oh god!' i said out loud as a swarm of zombies ran (walked) at me

This is really neat. I can't say I'm good at it. But I do want to come back and play more. I love the sounds, especially the digging. The combat was a little hard for me but I think I'm actually just bad - likely I just need to play more and get a hang of it.  It fits the theme really well. Great job!

I don’t play first-person games much because I have a jumpy disposition…I got jump scared by a zombie, be proud.

I like the art direction and the level of polish it got in such a small timeframe.
Well done, I like it 

Developer

Happy to hear your experience was so positive!

I was doing first iterative design adjustments in engine really close to deadline. So it's hard to know if the game was left in a way too challenging, easy or just right state. There were many adjustments I still wished to iterate on and ideas to test. But maybe after jam after gathering feedback.

Thank you for playing~

Is there a possibility to get rid of the Zombies? Because I kept dying to them over and over.

LOVE the art direction though. That´s what drew me in in the first place. Once I´ve got more time I will definitely come back to this.

Developer

Bonk them with the shovel or buy the shotgun and shoot them with it.

I really tried. But I got hit too much before I could kill any :(
