I get nauseated by certain graphics very easily (not being mean, just some visuals make me a bit woozy) the underground bricks in particular were a bit much for me. I also found it difficult to aim and the weapon impacts could do with some work. I like the setting though, a debt spiraling grave digger is pretty grim.

I like the creative interpretation of the theme. The combat is a bit tough because the aim always seems to be about 5-10 degrees off, and the enemy bullets are hard to avoid, whether dodging or hiding behind a barrel. Really the only suggestions I have would be to either make the combat easier or add a way to heal, and maybe to add a shop or something like that where I can spend all my hard-earned money.

While being pretty common, your theme interpretation felt somewhat unique to me, nice :)

The game itself is yet another find objectives - battle mobs, but the gameplay is smooth

A unique take on the theme is always nice to see. Had a little difficulty aiming but I was able to adjust pretty quick.

Hello, unfortunately I couldn't play. My screen is frozen, in the scene after the menu. The graphics look interesting, as does the game in general. Too bad I couldn't play. :(

Took some time to understand but my comments resume the same as others. Good entry tho!

Gameplay is something I have seen many times before, but the smooth controls and cohesive visuals were nice.

Very smooth controls, it plays exactly how you expect! It needs focus on player retention though: I almost quit before realizing that you can press E to open graves, and I grew tired of only ever finding the same tomb to explore (with no differences in the overworld).

Good job on the game. It was pretty smooth to play but could have benifited from some more player feedback when shooting and getting hit.

I'm not sure I get how the theme fits in, but the idea and story are darkly funny. I enjoyed playing, good work.

Nice game with good visuals. Doesn't really fit in the theme, but overall nicely done!

Cool concept. Never been a grave robber before! I think there's definitely something here that can be expanded on. I feel like that gang will never stop putting in you in debt though! This guy needs to break out of the debt loop! Maybe that's what I missed? :)

Well done!

Funny game! I wish I could get to more of the punny villains, but I only encountered two of them, and Bindiana Bones was dead, lol. My high score is 452. I like the music and player sprite with his money bag, but my favorite part is when the coins come flying out. Good job!
