Graveyard by vanmount

[raw]
made by vanmount for LD29 (JAM)
You are a grave digger trying to get some of the treasures that are lying buried underground. Will you be able to collect all the gems and still make it to the ground alive or will you die trying to get back up?

We created "Graveyard" as a duo as part of the game jam. It's our first game and did consequently bring some problems along. Although we only had 48h due to work on Monday, it was a great and educational experience - there are a few things we'd have improved, but overall we're really happy with the outcome.

Have fun playing!

Pretty silly little game. Simple, entertaining. For a seemingly zombiefied gravedigger that guy can dig holes awfully fast.

hmm! awesome game! the graphics are pretty nice, and the mechanic of digging looks and feels very nice! Little dull on the gameplay side, but it's a nice deviation from the generic 'mining' game.

It was fun to go digging down but I didn't find any dangers lurking there so I came back up and won, twice. The idea is cool and exploration is exciting so it has that going for it.

Good job! :)

I like the art and the concept. It just didn't feel very challenging to me. The digging effect is cool though. Nice terrain deformation.

Interesting, the digging animation is funny. I got stuck at the bottom, but obsessively dug up treasure until then... good job!

digging sound can get a little annoying after a while, but that's a pretty simple fix. Otherwise, very nice job, surprisingly fun to just dig lol, liked the graphics as well well done :)

An interesting title but not very challenging. I like the way the ground is drawn, with the edges highlighted.

Cool concept, and funny use of the theme. For some reason it said that I won before I even dug into the ground

Nice gravedigger character. I quite enjoyed digging around. I was a bit surprised I didn't find dead bodies or something alive down below. I wasn't quite sure what my character's background motivation was to dig for gold. I didn't know why I beat the game. Another nitpicky thing, physics wise how can you be able to dig upwards without falling down.

Dayuum! Quasimodo over there can dig like a bad motherfu***. I like the idea and execution! Very nice game!

So it seems you CAN dig your way out of a hole. I reached bedrock.

Well made and cool digging mechanics! Would be good to know what the goal was, and the digging sound got annoying very quickly.
