Really unique concept and very well executed! The art is amazing as is the music. Loved sitting on a bench reading a newspaper pretending I'm not digging up corpses while the groundkeepers go haywire, really cool stuff!

The game idea is really out there, but it is implemented well, goes for the quirk points and the feel of the nostalgia well. Mechanics are built on top of each other and the map cool to explore and learn. I also join the know problem of the we build, would be so much better but is not a deal breaker!

Graphically the game is lovely, the macabre feel is captured flawlessly, good job!

Sfx and music is lovely, I did not know that I needed a chiptune bop for digging graves, but alas I was rewarded with it!

Lovely idea, awesome implementation other than the obvious, hats off!

That was great! It did feel laggy for me as well, as others have mentioned, but I still enjoyed playing this a great deal.

It really feels like a complete game, very well done :)

I loved the sprites and the art! The immersion in this game is incredible, and the aesthetic is really well done. The music is amazing too. One of the best games I’ve played in this jam. Congratulations!

Super polished game, it might be my internet that the browser version feels a bit laggy.

But I really loved the game and the idea of it. The dragging bodies is a very hard task tho very time consuming. 

Overall loved evrything about it the art, story and music and souds. Well done!

Nice work :)

I really liked the art and music in this game, especially the shopkeeper and the opening cutscene! The gameplay loop was really cool too, and there was a solid sense of progression!

I loved the artwork and music for this game! The gameplay was also very unique while still feeling like a game I would've played on my gameboy growing up. Only issue I had was that I am playing on a smaller laptop screen so I had to keep scrolling up and down to get all the game context. Other than that a solid 5 star game!

Cannot rate, but happily leaving a 5 star review for the 5 star team.

My first game of many today! Few things, my first time playing i had a game breaking glitch. Mr Corpse came out and i walked between him and the open grave, got stuck. Time stood still too but music kept playing, I reset the page. Then I played about 25 minutes through the first 2 days. Seemed like it took a while and it could just be my laptop but the game was smooth until i got to the graveyard and walking around was laggy or slow. But digging graves itself was smooth and fun. So yeah, something felt off there but it could just be me!!

The concept is pretty funny! As someone who wouldnt normally play games like this, the line about the surgeon society paying people to rob graves was intresting and caught my attention. Historically acurate and also not a take I've seen in a grave digging game. My favorite detail was the music! Congrats on a fantastic entry! Very well done

Super cool game!  I saw a little already in the Discord, so I was looking forward to trying it.  Fancy my luck having it in my  queue : )
