I think at one point, I was no longer able to place graves in the ground as they did not appear in the overview. Aside from that, this is an overall strong entry. I wish the buttons were a little larger but you really managed to get the entire simulation loop down. Combined with the music, it’s a very chill entry with a good cadence. I appreciate all of the HUD elements having effects in the gameplay scene and slowly watching the graveyard build up as your business continues.

Nice work!

Seems like House Flipper for coffins. Cool concept that you should build out more! :)

I can tell you put effort into this, very well done! I like that there are menus that you have to use and that you get to choose where graves go in the cemetery. Not perfect but has potential. I bet if you had more time, this would've been a really awesome experience! Keep up the good work and you guys will go far
