Nice submission!
Simple and minimalistic yet enjoyfull.
The only thing is that I had hard time determing what needs to be used to fix the grave in the moment
loved the little masks (and found funny the Ghosts died again hehe)
Really liked the art and the systems, couldn't tell when I needed to use the broom however, just running around with the watering can mostly :)
Great game, good job with the tutorial, really helped!
Tending to graves has never been so adorable! Loved the concept and the art. I wasn’t always sure when the graves needed sweeping vs watering, but overall it was fun to play. Great work!
I visually lost the watering can in the path a few times and it was hard to tell at a glance if the gravestone was getting dirty. Could've been my red/green blindness at play. Made it to the end regardless. Fun and simple. good job.
Great job! It felt challenging but to a reasonable amount.
Art was kind of charming even if not the most technically impressive. I liked the ghosts changing faces to indicate how angry they were.
One critique is the watering can looked really similar to the gravel path so I lost it once and died.
Again, well done.
Really simple yet effective concept. Took me a moment to figure out the controls cause the tutorial glitched so id put the controls under the canvas on itch aswell. Cleaning the graves is a very memorable task and idea though perfect for this time of year. Great work!
Good work, quite hectic gameplay.
My strategy is to find the middle point and have the tools here. When you need something, just grab the tool, go, and return back to the point
But the game is repetitive without anything new.
Also, play our game back if you can: Spectral Mask
Very hectic gameplay which I really liked! So fun to juggle the items around and the different graves, great work!
Fast paced games like this are great! nicely done...
Cool idea, though I've struggled at first to get used to switching tools fast
Also, it looks like after final level I was sent to level 1 again
I had fun with it, the sounds are pleasant!
The last 2 levels are the first and second but with a faster pace were a problem arises if there are non and every 5 seconds. Thought it would be a bit of easy content but clearly didn’t land :(
This game is super fun for me! Definitely my style with the fast reactions and panic as too many ghosts had things they wanted. The watering can blends in with the path and I thought I lost it at one point, and I wish there was a little more atmosphere, but this was a very enjoyable little gem.
I didn't play for too long as it was too fast - I had no time to get used to what was expected. I did appreciate the tutorial which was well executed - I might have benefitted from a bit of practice as well. But nice graphics and mechanic.
Unique idea! Quite stressful game so not for me, but it's nice work!
