specs:
- mac mini m2, 32gb ram, 12 cores
- windows download, played .exe via GameHub emulator

overall:
- a good start but feels very empty

audio:
- absolutely love the lucious synth rolling in. wish it didn't cut off when accessing other parts of the menu. more music/sfx in-game would be nice.

display/presentation:
- beautiful pixel art start screen and fitting typography
- in-game graphics a little static but nicely offputting in a retro way.

customization/accessibility:
- start menu help only. no way to pause or check instructions after starting. - right/left click was a little janky

gameplay/controls:
- shift to run, big plus (esp given the distance/lack of world objects)
- picking up the things from the grave by jumping on them was very confusing/not intuitive. lack of response from digging until done was a little confusing.
- WAY too much distance/lack of objects in the world. feels very unfinished/empty.
- esc being the insta-quit button with no confirmation is a no-go. the esc button is basically ingrained in gamer-brain as the pause/menu. even knowing it did this, i still accidentally quit the game while trying to get to the instructions.
- scroll to change weapons is good as a function, but the implementation was insanely fast/glitchy when switching to the point where it bugged out numerous times and made the weapon/tool disappear completely. no UI elements to show other weapons even existed.

Very original! Loved the overall presentation of this one, the aesthetics, the sounds were extra nice. 

Personally, I would try spacing it out a little smaller, as it suffers from a big scale, and a lot of walking around - which I would look over, if not for those pesky, pesky bats. By accident you made them hella scary, solely because of how hard it is to kill them, making them randomly spawn from those graves, my god - nerve wracking - sorta in a good and bad way though. Definitely, made the game scarier for me at least, which is a big plus.

Curious what engine was used to build this? Very original, but wish I could have fight against those demon bats, as I really wanted to get inside that central crypt, to see whats there. Also, nice vista with the church, I literally tried hitting F12 to make a nice screenshot 🫀

A fun game with a retro aesthetic.

Bats are evil! >:(

I had a lot of fun playing this one, though I struggle hitting the enemies, not sure if was the collision, my mouse or just me XD but I really enjoyed this one, especially the boss fight, the soundtrack used it for it was nice, it makes me feel the combat was frenzy.

There is room to improve the fight and the level design, I think it can have more elements to interact in the world or maybe less walking (a smaller level?) and the bloom used at least on the boss fight, it blinded me when I tried to cure my self (not sure if that was intentional).

About the game concept, I liked the idea of graveyard digging and the way you regain hp was creative. Well done :) !!

I enjoyed  the game also the atmosphere, it remembers me old school games :D great job, the items and the mechanics were so nice!

Even though the combat in this game is nothing special and the boss fight is super easy, I still enjoyed it. I especially like the movement—I’m a big fan of it.

Tried running through the game and it was a nice experience.
There are some stretches of level design, and a lot of learning by doing - but once you get past those things its a nice experience.

Nice entry - looking forward to see more
