made by Ittinop for LD 42 (COMPO)

The graveyards are fuller than ever!!! In this game, you manage a graveyard town, carefully balancing resources between gold, limited space, and coffins. Coffins drop onto your town and you must clear them away to avoid losing health. Coffins spawns exponentially faster as the late game approaches, so be prepared.

Test your skill on hard mode:

Copper: 40 Coffins

Silver: 80 Coffins

Gold: 120 Coffins

Platinum: 200 Coffins (You are better than the creator...)

The game was made using Unity, Substance Painter, Photoshop, and blender.

Note: would really appreciate if you can post your high score in comment. That could really help me understand how to balance the game.

Great artwork and 3D modelling! It's a great idea. It would have been more fun if the spawning rate of the coffins was higher and/or the timers were lower?

@Mazzletov Thanks for the comment! The difficulty scales with time (eventually forces you to lose). Can I still make adjustment to the game? (new to this). I think it would be nice if I can add difficulty rating.

@ittinop yea why not. You won't change anything to the core gameplay, just tweaking it :smile:

Very well done! It has great graphics and good gameplay, at least at first, tt gets very repetitive after a big because its too easy the only times I lost health were because I didn't know a coffin was low (You should make the seconds more red or something the closer it is to zero). Also some creepy atmospheric music would have been cool.

Nice job! the isometric land creation is very cool. Would build more on that! ... did feel pretty easy though (at least for the couple minutes I was playing)

This game is amazing! I love the graphics and the concept! Kudos on putting a tutorial in there that nicely explains the mechanics. I feel like the beginning of the game is fairly challenging since you can't generate gold quick enough forcing you to consider where to put graves and flowers. As the game went on I found myself just filling up spaces for houses and butchers to prevent coffins from spawning. It started to get a bit too easy by the end but I am super impressed that you got this much done in such a short amount of time! You nailed the theme, fantastic game!

This is how far I got before I stopped.

Really impressive art and concept. Also thanks that you had time to make tutorial because a lot of jam games definitely need tutorials. I think that coffin spawn rate is really slow and it makes game too easy.

Thanks a lot for all the comments :smile: @freezedice @ossi @teddynashor @truc-e @mazzletov

Updated the game with new build:
- Chooose Difficulty Settings!
- coffin timer is red when less than 10s @truc-e


@ossi That is a pretty nice town! glad you enjoyed it!

@truc-e Want the music too, unfortunately I have close-to-zero music skill lol :laughing:


I tried playing on hard mode and got to this point before it spirals. Hard enough I had to pause like every few secs.
Let's see if you guys can do better :D

@ittinop You might explore http://getsoundly.com/ for help with sounds!

@frostedsentry Thanks a lot for your sound suggestion! Just looked at the Soundly website and it looks very interesting. Is it allowed for Compo though, since it seems to be a library?
Regardless, it will be very useful for me in future for other projects for sure :smiley:
Thanks!

Very impressive for a compo game. Great art, alright sounds, good learning curve and difficulty curve as well. I can see myself playing this more as it is, let alone more polished. Well done.

@ittinop
Not sure if you know, but after the time is up, you are only allowed to update the game when having major bugs that blocks from playing. Any other features should be clearly marked as post mortem in the download section (and not overwrite the original one)

Oh sorry, are you sure about that?
From Mazzletov's comment:
@ittinop yea why not. You won’t change anything to the core gameplay, just tweaking it smile

If you are sure, I can remove the two changes. (which are just UI/initial coffin timer)
