Great idea!

Cool concept! Having to manage multiple tasks at once added challenge too. Fun game :)

Developer

Thank you very much.

  • I also had a bug where I couldn't pick up a body, but then it turned into a zombie and I knew what the health was for. It was going SO WELL up to that point haha.
  • I enjoyed the sense of progression and the building complexity of the mechanics.
  • I felt as if some of the levels went on a bit long. I think there should be a level meter to know how much time left I had left.
  • I no longer want to be a mortician if one mistake causes zombification to occur, haha.

Overall, I had a bunch of fun playing this game. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for your  detailed comment, I will fix the bugs for the next version.

The game has a great premise. I love the fact that you are playing a mortician. The tasks idea is wonderful. I had a bug in the WebGL version where a body would spawn and I could not pick it up. The part of the tutorial where the Burn and Urn was introduce never game me a burn and urn task. They were all send to the end tasks then it advanced me. The idea is really cool. Keep working on it, is a great idea just needs a bit more polish I think. The control scheme was awesome and fit nicely into your game!

Developer

Thank you for your pointers and bug report will fix it for the next version.

Loved the tutorial being built into the game, progression felt great as well. Would love if you could check my game out- you really did well with the point and click mechanics to keep it fun.

Developer

Thank you very much, will check your game.

Really fun, creative!  I liked them turning to  zombies as well. Please rate our game if you would like :)  https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2022/rate/1554224#post-5960926


PS I forgot to add I really liked the music as well!

Developer

Thank you, will try your game.

Great game. Very stressful. Juggling tasks was fun. Did encounter a bug where bringing a body to the end to the burn pit spawned a zombie lol.

Developer

Thank you very much, I think you brought a body to the wrong machine that's why it happened because if you send them to a wrong machine they turn to zombies

I thought it was hilarious. You have a really fun game here. Keep working on it.

Fun game! So stressfull at times, but the music calms you down :D. Some soundeffects would round up the game! 

If you have the time, please rate mine too :D

Thank you, I would add soundfx next update

Brilliant game, given more time this would be great fun with the extra SFX and stuff.

Enjoyed the Mechanics, and the gameplay was fun. Needed some squishy sound effects and a victory screen, please. Overall, it was fun!

Thanks, I would add them in the next update.

Overcooked in a morgue. Great Idea. Congrats

Developer

thank you very much

Hey! Good use of triggers and after a while I found myself running around putting all the bodies in the places where they needed to be. Great Job and kept me amused! Saxophone music felt a little out of place for me and would have preferred footsteps and sound fx but that's a personal preference. Great Job!

Developer

Thank you, I would make it a choice in the future for music and sound fx.

Oddly satisfying and seriously macabre at the same time!

I think I did pretty good. I got up until rafts and then it said "nothing more to say, take care". Not quite sure how you'd do it, but maybe it should have to be a bit more difficult in one way or another..

All in all a very enjoyable game, very creative take on the subject and never would've come up with such an implementation myself. It's amazing to see what people can come up with!

I would've liked to see the corpses change as they go through various stages of "being processed" I think an indicator as to where to click would be a great addition too. Basically highlighting the edges of whatever it is that you want to pick up/drop off at when you hover over it/select it.

Job well done I'd say! Thank you for your submission and sharing your creativity with everyone.

Thank you for your pointers, I would try to do them in the next version

Like it due to the multiple mechanics.

Developer

Thank you very much

It feels a lot like you planned out how the corpses should spawn and playtested it so you knew there was a way to do it almost perfectly, that is great if you did and amazing if you didn't. Music was a bit too shrill for my liking but other than that solid entry!

Developer

Thank you, the spawning is random but gets faster each level and I tested it 5 or 6 times in each level to make it hard but not that hard.

Pretty Nice Game! I really enjoyed the zombie mechanic (I have something alike in my own game, so ;-)). The music is nice and the progression is good. I would just add some VFX to confirm the actions, but this could really be an entire mobile game, nicely done (with touch inputs)

Developer(+1)

thank you very much sir.
