The Gravedigger by kezhaar

[raw]
made by kezhaar for LD 40 (COMPO)

thumb.jpg

Objective: Loot as many graves as possible

Controls: Left and right arrows to move, 2(numpad) to jump, 3(numpad) to dig and attack

Softwares used: Construct 2, Photoshop, Studio One

Known issues: - After a few games, enemies stop spawning, just reload the page - Buttons dosn't seems to work on certains configurations (need at least a numpad)

Derivative assets : Most of characters anmiations are originally based on Ghouls'n Ghosts models, sound effects are some random last minute picking (I don't even known where they come from)

PS: - You should play on fullscren mode - I was not happy with the music I made so I just kept a small portion of it, you can hear more on downloads links

Mmh, I don't seem to get any action out of pressing the 2 or 3 keys, are they set to the numpad keys? (I'm using a laptop).

It looks promising though, Thanks!

Nice graphics and plays well. The controls are a bit awkard (maybe you could use the mouse to dig instead of numpad keys).

The graphics and music are great, maybe some different controls would work better, great game overall.

Art, animation and sound were good. Controls were very wonky - would have much preferred WASD and other controls (maybe E) for digging/attacking. Collision on main character is a bit big as well, would prefer for it to be about 10-15% smaller than the sprite so that just brushing against an enemy isn't soo punishing.

That was fun, the main character sprite size is a bit weird, I liked the art and animations though. Good music too, as refered in othr comments, the key assignment could have been better. Good game overall!

i loved the graphics but there seems to be no button for dig and jump was the up arrow for me looked promising though

Weird controls?!

Nice graphics and audio, however if you did make the sounds during the jam I wont vote for that category :)

Nice graphics, sound was OK but a bit loud... the controls were a bit awkward though

The gameplay seems good but the controls make playing near on impossible

Nice graphics and fun little game, I liked the sound track but it was a little bit too loud. Like other comments I had some problems figuring out the controls but I got used to it quick enough. I would just stick with `WASD` and `SPACE`.

I really like the pixelart-style. It would be cool to have a mode, where the waves are faster and bigger. In the beginning it's rather boring, because there aren't many zombies and you literally have to walk around to find new ones. I think it would be more fun, if that would be changed.

Points from theme and mood. It's bold to use so red color theme. However 2 and 3 controls didn't work for me so it was unplayable, I'm sorry to say.

The game was unplayable on my laptop because 2 and 3 didn't work :( It look pretty good though ;)

For all those who can't play it, remember to activate num lock and use the numberpad not the numbers at the top

Also can't vote because I don't have numpad keys :(. Hope OP fixes this for us soon.

The sound effects and music were really fitting for the game. I agree with the others, the hit boxes for the character did seem a bit large. More knockback on hitting an enemy might have compensated for that, but I found it hard to not get hit when attacking as it is. The game had some great ambiance, I really dug the background art.

I liked the art, sound, and music. Gameplay was a little difficult for me, and the controls (being set to the numberpad) were hard. I'd also recommend setting the player sprite's origin to the bottom middle, it makes turning around smoother. Overall, good game!
