I had a lot of fun playing this game! I got caught up and couldn't leave. The balance is maybe a little bit too easy, I played for a long time and never lost (or maybe I am very good at this game, but I doubt it is the only reason). Nice entry though, thank you for this game!
The game is easy to pick up and is never ending. Some of the death causes are quite hilarious. Great use of visual indicators to tell the player what to do at certain moments. Apparently it is not that harmful to only fill/change 1 grave a day. I was able to manipulate the happiness with this and able to keep it at 100% or I think 10 years? That might need a bit of balancing still. Overall, good game with humor and some peaceful music!
Their dead reason is insteresting. I think I can play it no Gameover forever. 20180814193714.png
@niarkou @calmingtides @o2o Thanks for your comments !
I think I will continue develop this game. I have already ideas how to balance the game (visit give less bonus and the more a profile wait in the queue the more it generate malus).
Nice Little game!!! really enjoyed it!
Hilarious game, I've been playing for a while. Stupid Town is a great place to live, isn't it?
@sdrrv Thanks you !
@necromic Except the fact that you tend to die from stupid death, it is really a great place !
@o2o @sdrrv @niarkou @necromic @calmingtides Do not forget to follow the game on Gamejolt if you want to see future improvments ;)
I really like the idea and good musical theme too. just some improvement and I think it will become a good game.
Such a nice game, it fits the theme. I played a lot of time and never get game over though.
@lagoe Thanks you ! I will continue to improve the games ( a friend will help with the graphism) so do not forget to follow the game on game jolt if you want to see the improvments ;)
@naked-kiwi Thanks you ! The game is not well-balanced I know, it will be fix on next updates ! Keeping corpse in the morgue will be more harmful and each visit give less hapinness. Making the game a little bit harder.
I really liked the idea presented by the game! Haha, the soundtrack is very good too. Good job overall!
Really liked the idea!
Nice Game! I liked the gameplay and the music was nice :) I didn't really get how to win or even how to survive for a while :D Although it appears from the comments that people find it quite easy. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, I don't know.
@ganonwarrior @zicboy Thanks you !
@furiouswitch in this version you can go far by just bury one grave by months because you get more hapiness each months that keeping people in the queue give you angerness. It's fixed for next update.
Good game. I got an idea before playing the game. What if the adjacent grave should have a different reason of death because you don't want to recall the sad memory of the bereaved.
@skyc The cause of death are mostly there for humor purpose. Everything is done to be detached from sadness, the peaceful music, the colorful sprites and the comic death are a way to create a contrast, an absurd vibe.
Nice little game, but it's too easy. You can play it endlessly. It would be great to add a complexity curve and additional mechanics, perhaps affecting the scale of joy.
@enot487 The game will be more balanced in the next update :)
@devwithmartinus Oh, I see now. I thought it was really bad to leave the dead unburied so I didn't even try it. But I think it is better if it was more like a memory game. Like for example, the player should notice the graves that are visited less often and those are the ones to rebury the dead in. That is the way I thought it was at the beginning and I think it will be more engaging this way.
@furiouswitch it's kind of like that actually. Except that you have visual indicator (the grave sprites) and you can see when a grave was buried. But some sort of hardcore mode can be cool ! Thanks for the feedback.

I was a bit unsure about the whole "Visisted Graves thing" it didn't seem to make much of a difference. As @enot487 said the game is way to easy and can certainly be played infinitely. I did, however really like the humourm and the idea has potential
@call-me-nutty I put Old Age exactly to arrive at this kind of profile ahah
The game will be more balanced next update. Keeping dead in the morgue will be more punitive. When there is someone in front of a grave it means there was a visit this month (Not very good idea to replace it), a grave with flowers is frequently and was recently visited, a abandonned grave means you'll anger the population by less than 5%.
The game can certainly be harder. Interesting death profiles though. Can try to make the profiles affect the time the graves should be kept. Real time families walking in and out will be great too. Especially when they see you digging up their graves.
