Browser crashes when attempting to place a tombstone :slight_frown: (Firefox, Mac OS 13.6)
I like the art and music, but I was never sure if I was doing well or not. Maybe an interactive tutorial would have helped me understand what a successful round looks like.
Interesting idea, there was come situations where I probably did not connect the tombs correctly and it made me loose but after trying a few more times I got the hang of it.
The fact that we can place tombs on the church is a bit weird but you probably did not have enough time to block that.
Really nice music who fits right into the game :ghost:
Good job on this game !
I pretty sure I'm doing it wrong :smile: I liked the concept and the music is perfect.

I really like the music and the graphics, I'm not sure why certain groups of 3 graves still made ghosts appear to me but the concept is cool!
(Oh, and I managed to get -3 ghosts at the end of the game?) Ghost.png
Oopsy, look like there are more bugs than i saw. Thx for reviewing by the way
It is a little confusing at first because there is no grid and I didn't realize why ghosts would appear (my 3 gravestones were slightly apart). But after understanding the rules it's a nice little tetris style game :).
Great game, great art, overall really great game, good job!
Fun quick game! I wasn't entirely sure what the main "score" of the game was as both I'm still not sure what the main way to end the game is. The game ends when you reach 0 Faith which would make the number of graves the main score, but the game also seems to end when you just have a lot of graves at the end by spam clicking a whole bunch, which would make faith your main "score" again. there were also a few situations where it seems like certain pieces would generate ghosts even if they were in a group of three, specifically the T piece kept causing me issues. Somewhat related, I would have loved if the game was able to snap your pieces to a grid so I knew exactly how close I should be putting my pieces. Regardless, I really like the actual overall space fitting puzzle and how ghosts immediately start spawning as soon as you hit 2 pieces, which means you have to balance immediate lost points with rerolling for a better piece to put in your trio. Nice work overall!

You have to read the "how to play" to understand what you have to do, but I think you can find ways to avoid that (like showing bad stones in different colors) too, as there's no way to destroy things or finish a game, if there are more than 3 stones that are too close, the game is ruined :cry : Apart from that, the graphics and sound design really set the mood!
Interesting Tetris-alike game, but you can add something like lore or mini-story elements to make the game more catchy
Interesting game. I think there's some immediate feedback when you place a stone that could be useful for understanding if you are making the right thing or not. But I think I managed to win the game by placing 40 stones without any ghost showing up :D
I liked the graphics and music also
An interesting and unique take on the theme. I was kind of consfused with the game mechanics at first but I got it later.
I think your game would benefit greatly by having a grid system for placing the tombstones, or at the very least some snapping. Other than that, it was quite solid (albeit a few bugs here and there, like quiting the game and getting ghosts no matter how I placed the 3 tombstones sometimes). The graphics did the job and the music was very fitting.
A commendable effort for a 1-man project.
@exofrenon It's not a 1-man project :cry: my partner just does wanted to create an account on ld but thx for the review. My 1st idea was to put a grid system but i changed my mind, i don't even remember why
It's just like Tetris, a little difficult for me but interesting, good job!
I really liked the audio and graphics. Well done!
Loved the cute little ghost at the end
Agree with previous comments: game mechanics are a little unintuitive to start with (I died a lot because of lack of faith which was really confusing), but after reading some other comments it wasn't too bad. The music fits the atmosphere really well, though - and the graphics are nice also.
Nice concept, but i alway have to restart aaahhhh, i don't know if i do well, sometime i can't clear the two ghost.
This is a well known concept but the fact that the ghost must be alone or in three is an interesting idea. I find it weird that there's no grid to place the shapes at first, but after playing a bit I find this freedom to put the pieces interesting to isolate the ghosts. Cute graphics and the song fit well. Bravo!
