CemeterySecretary.app.zip seems to contain only resources folder, with no app.

I wish this worked on windows man, looks nice!

bekokstover 2014-04-29 12:17

Windows version live!

bekokstover 2014-04-29 12:17

@robert_steiner : thanks - will look into that.

bekokstover 2014-04-29 12:19

I tried downloading and opening it from the link, and it seems to work fine. If anyone else has issues, please let me know.

Nice puzzles and good use of the theme.

I like the mood and your take on the theme. The introduction letter made me chuckle :)
Also, nice graphics and audio.

I like it a lot! It took me a while to get the proper behaviour when a ghoul spawns right on me (run back, don't dig!), but once I did, it wasn't that hard to finish anymore.

The graphics are great, especially with the neat little animations. Good choice of color.

Oh, and the messages are a lovely humorous touch! :D

PS: Uh, thanks for the skeleton. I have a present for you too: http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=368

Thanks! And thanks for the... thing.. I guess. :)

Fantastic! The title screen looks sweet, by the way.

I like the humor of this little game. Nice graphics and fun to play for short. Thanks!

Great humor and style. And more game to it than appears at first. I like how they send a letter to a dead man... tsk tsk bureaucrats :P

The idea is just great!! Really great humour and super polished. Great entry!

Interesting game, really nice aesthetic.

Nice little game, I would have loved to see 1 or 2 more levels :D

sanguine 2014-04-30 17:33

The difficulty was good for me. The game reminded me of the ghost in Spelunky. Even though it is quite simplistic, it is well polished and already a lot of fun. It would be cool maybe if there were more types of enemies.

bekokstover 2014-04-30 17:39

Thx all. The ghost was indeed inspired by Spelunky. More types of enemies is a good idea. I also wanted a burrowing type of enemy, that moves down to you, and excavates dirt. Alas, no more time :) As to more levels: I'd rather make this one level more dynamic procedurally.

Awesome game! Very original, and the mood is a great mix of eerie, but light-hearted. The art is perfect for this, and a very appropriate soundtrack as well. Loved it!

metkis 2014-04-30 20:41

I love the graphical quality of this game. Great work!

finefin 2014-05-01 08:20

nice looking and funny game!

finefin 2014-05-01 08:29

okay. now I also managed to win this game, haha!
really got scared a bit when I had all bones and had to escape the monsters. well done :)

bauhausgamessyndicate 2014-05-02 17:50

More Levels!!! :P

td1801 2014-05-02 17:54

A very cool game but a hard one x)

dreii 2014-05-02 19:45

Great gameplay! felt like i was 10 with my snes again :)
Liked that the bones and skull monsters both fell and died! :D

gamertaters 2014-05-03 08:02

Great overall game. Reminded me a lot of the arcade classic Dig Dug. Would definitely have liked to play more levels. Very nice work! :)

jonathang 2014-05-06 07:40

This is great! The art style is well done, and it's full of character. I like how the different things you find require different strategies to deal with.

crocantidepollo 2014-05-08 23:34

Nice! I like the little details like being able to mess it up breaking the bones :D

striwx 2014-05-14 22:25

Very cool gameplay !

elefantopia 2014-05-19 03:28

Very fun game! The sounds were cemetery-creepy. Not sure it was necessary to give the secretary a bald spot, funny though.
