How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Grief & Garbage, which takes place during Halloween of 1990, follows a strange undead spirit, who enters the houses of adult candy-givers to steal candy. To do this, he can split his zombie half from his ghost half, allowing him to maneuver around the many supernatural threats he encounters in the warped suburban landscapes.

Gameplay is well-crafted. Puzzles are intuitive. Music and sounds are fitting.
A well-rounded entry for the jam.
Awesome puzzle platformer! Levels felt intuitive without feeling frustrating. Never felt the need to brute force. The whole concept of throwing your body works well with the theme. Overall congrats on an incredible game.
One of my favorites of this jam! Very well though and balanced... very fun mechanics!
If you win, I wouldn't be surprised!
And the sound appears to be within the 0.0 dB limit haha
Nice work!
Well done!
A lot of fun to play and clever mechanics. I feel like most rooms are really well designed.
Sometimes it feels like some of the mechanics are weird to execute and you have to keep a lot of things in mind to solve the rooms.
Altogether if you polish this up a little I feel like this could be a really great full game.
Puzzles are good and interesting ! The story is touching ! The OST is great and can be listened on repeat without becoming a headache ! A very great entry !
Wow this is so cool! The mechanic is super interesting and very well developed. The levels were fun, the overall art and sounds are delightful and the writing was also charming. One of my favorites so far, great job!
Nice puzzle game, I can tell you gave them a lot of thougths and efforts!
The story is simple, yet well executed. Athanas' movement during boss battle gave me the chill when I realized they could go upward too.
I think two of my main issues with this game are that I feel like the last battle against Anthanas could have been a little harder... And that I want more of your game !
Congratulations for your entry !
This is the best one yet! Great, interesting story, full of good level, top graphics, I find that the end boss could have sent spiders but otherwise excellent.
I love puzzle games, so this was already going to get high marks from me. But getting to absolutely chunk your guts around to beat up bad guys? Now that I wasn't expecting.
Great game with puzzle soul. The design of the game, character and gameplay is really addicting, a lot of variations and some story points. Awesome work!
DAMN this game is fantastic!!!
Wow, this is a fully fleshed out puzzle game. Very well executed for a jam entry!
When I saw the collision matrix in the webpage I thought it was going to be complicated, but each level introduced the rules nicely.
Excellent game, congrats!
The game has a very interesting idea, although I felt the puzzles were a bit lacking in challenge. Overall, for me, the weakest point was definitely the boss fights, as they are very easy. I think this is an area that needs reworking. In general, the enemies are also quite easy. I think they need to be better integrated with the puzzle-solving to gradually increase the difficulty for the player.
Visually, the game gives off a somewhat strange sense of monotony, as does the music, which might have been your intention, and if so, you succeeded in setting the mood. However, be careful, as the music can make you a bit sleepy after playing for a couple of levels.
The game’s physics are very enjoyable and satisfying. I think the character concept was the strongest element of your game. Congratulations.
I really, really enjoyed throwing my bones out of my body. I enjoyed the simple graphics, it added charm. I played until I soft locked myself on the level with the pumpkins. I hit the lever and tossed my bones on the other side of the star wall. That's when I stopped, but I'm going to come back after playing more of the other submissions. I love a good puzzler. Really nice job!
Thank you for playing; I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Non-boss levels can be restarted using [SELECT] (by default this is 'R', 'V', or ';'). I apologize for not making that clear; it has now been given greater priority on the Itchio page. Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for making a fun game!
the game is great, the consept is amazing, the graphics are a bit simple, but is not bad
Really nice mechanic and I love the art style, I only played up until halfway through the second house as there are a lot of other submissions to look at, but I'll give it another play at a later date. Great work!
This game is really well made! Love the graphics
