Coffin' Time by Nepturenus
Joe the cemetery caretaker needs to DRILL in order to store all the coffins of the newly deceased townfolks.
Play here : https://nicolanore.itch.io/coffintime
There are three phases / stages in the game:
Drill phase
Coffin'Time
Funerals
1. Drill phase
Use your mouse to point the direction where you want the drill to dig.
The fuel that is consumed when the dirt is removed is limited. Plan accordingly!
You can end the drilling phase manually by clicking the button at the top right.
2. Coffin'Time
Use the mouse to drag and drop the coffins to bury them. Be careful, you need to finish your job before the end of the night!
You can end the burying phase manually by clicking the button at the top right.
Tip: You can stack the members of the same family together, in order to save some space.
3. Funeral
The townfolks come early in the morning to mourn their losses. Let’s hope they don’t stumble across some coffins layin in the morning sun…

Very fun! The colors immediately stood out, I love the aesthetic (as well as the star-studded cast of funeral-goers). I feel like the difficulty ramped up a lot past the fourth stage or so, but that might just be my lack of practice and planning early on. I could certainly see this game being very replayable. Great job!

Definitely one of the best games so far. Music, art, everything is on high level. Would be like to see it on Steam once.

Love the concept, I think if the controls were fine tuned + you added a story, you could easily turn this into a full game . Good job

Maybe my favorite so far. At first, didn't think it would be that challenging, but quickly found myself rushing to shove all the coffins in a tight space. Was laughing at how inefficient I was in stuffing the corpses underground. Love the concept, the art and the frog guy. Great work!

The graphics are incredible. The music fits well and the gameplay is very unique. That was probably one of the best game I've played.

Music and art was great! Love that froggy cursor! It wasn't too difficult, but that may have been because I hit a memory bug where the game restarted!

Super clever idea, and great art direction! Having the coffins combine in on one another was a great secondary objective to strive for! Only issue with the design is that it bottle necks pretty quickly due to being unable to expand the hole at the top, though I'd imagine that'd run the risk of making things a bit too easy if it turned into one big pit lol. Great concept and solid execution!

The music and art were great! I really enjoyed the combining and burying mechanics. There was some issues sometimes grabbing and pulling the coffins, but otherwise a great entry!

Oh the art is great, I am especially a big fan of the sad axolotl. The theming of this is also very funny, the idea of frantically trying to bury the coffins before daylight made me laugh. The gameplay feels a tiny bit janky sometimes, like the coffins would get stuck horizontally and I'm sure that is partly intentional, it didn't lead to any frustration and was more amusing than anything. Overall, nicely done!

Really great game! The atmosphere, music, and graphics are all top-notch. It's not just the fun mechanics, but how everything blends together and makes each moment so enjoyable. Everything just comes together perfectly, and it's a real pleasure to play. Definitely looking forward to more from this team!

Neat application of the theme. Love the look and feel of it all! I felt a little like the digging and burying of the coffins felt disconnected, didn't seem to matter much how I dug since I just pulled the coffins down until they combined with the other coffins of the same color (might not be fair criticism since i pulled coffins through each other). Overall real cool entry good stuff!

Cool concept and i absolutely love the style. I didn't really see a challenge here other than time constraint, and i forgot anout merging coffins until i accidentally did it, so it felt kind of "slapped on" and not very intended, but other than that i enjoyed it alot!
