I like the graphics and the lighting! And the creepy idea!

What a polished game!

I love the graphics grim yet not too dark like a lot of games of this graphical genre tend to do. I also enjoyed the sounds, can't get enough of that huff-huff when moving around. I do have to admit that the start was quite slow for me as it took me quite a bit to understand what's going on and even with the helpful page here I still struggled with the controls at the start, but I guess it was because I don't really have a controller. Once I did get hang of it, it was a interesting experience, different from most genres used in these jams and that makes it stand out!

Marvelous work with it!

Tried it as single player and it was amazing! The mood setting is really popping out. Sometimes I had difficulties to distinguish some body parts. But overall really good submission!

I really like the art. I like the idea of having to put different body parts together. I am not good at this game but would replay it in the future.

I love the one grave concept! Great execution. Only thing missing is the music. Great job!

I loved the art of this game! It is so pretty! Unfortunately I dont have a controller where I am at right now, so I had to play with keyboard and this was very confusing. Each time a button popped up I had to check again which button I had to press, and often I accidentally incinerated stuff XD It was also a bit hard to see what the requests were sometimes (especially the gray eye color was confusing to me at the beginning).

However, after trying it a few times I got the hang of it and I started to enjoy it. Especially when multiple coffins were introduced I really felt the pressure, and I would have loved to have a couple more people to play with XD

Really nice submission! Great job :D

Yo, very cool game! Feel like a spot of music would've added a lot tho. Other than that pretty nice that you can do a character selection and I love the art style.

Ran into several bugs with the menus. Also found it really hard to tell which parts matched what the customer asked for. Couldn't get a single one right after several tries. But the game looked really nice, and the sound effects were entertaining.

The art is just spot on! And the gameplay feels smooth and polished. I'm really impressed with what you managed to accomplish in such a short time! I will have to come back and play it with friends. It was a bit difficult to play on a keyboard but I got the hang of it.

This was awesome! I love the concept and the art style really pops! The particle effects when moving the character around feel very satisfying too. I love the concept of the game and overall it felt very good to play. I played on a ps5 controller, and everything felt very smooth and snappy (except occasionally the grid components). Extremely well done and fantastic entry!

I got confused at the start, it says to press start to start but there is no start anywhere :D

Great art! Game felt good to play, though picking objects up felt little unintuitive to just close menu. I really like the idea of creating body from body part to customers needs. I think it could have been more fun to have more caskets to fill for customers since for me the storage was really wast full and it felt weird to just run around throwing part away. That way you could just have ready "their loved one" and just switch the head and add a leg or two. Love the grim humor.

Graphics are looking very good and the creepy idea is awesome! Unfortunately I wasn't able to play much tho. My controller is not an xbox original and things got messed up. I got stuck with the casket, couldn't start the burial without losing 50 points and could not retrieve the leg from it. On keyboard I wasn't able to start the game. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, congratulations for the work in any case!

Loved the game! took aminute to get the hang of it but i love the concept of the game and art.

Tough to play without a controller, but it was worth the effort! The art is really nice, and the chaotic inventory management concept is a great fit for the theme.

Very nice visuals, mood and gameplay !

prismapunch 2023-10-15 21:34

Really love the art style and visuals!

Really enjoyed the graphics of the game and thought it was absolutely adorable. The sound effects were pretty sweet too and I really liked the whoosh of the incinerator. Unfortunately I don't have a controller so it was quite difficult and frustrating to navigate with just a keyboard, but overall a well executed and fun game
