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.

Really great game! Loved the switching mechanic. Everything is very polished and with attention to detail, and the atmosphere is
lovelyspooky! Great job! :)Unfortunately the palette switching didn't work for me in Firefox.
It is unfortunate. I also noticed that it doesn't work in Firefox. One day, I'll figure that problem out (or an update to Firefox might fix it for me, who knows!)
Thank you for playing!
Always love a puzzle game and this one was a banger mechanically.
Great story, it got me hooked up until the end! Nice job!
An overall amazing game! The Puzzles were well done and the zombie/ghost mechanic was great and implemented well! Graphically and story-wise an absolute gem!
Love the zombie half/ghost half mechanic! Puzzles were challenging but fun. All in all, great little game!

I like this! The puzzles get more difficult, the obstacles grow in number and of course the cutscenes. Nice work, here!
Very very very good game. First of all, great story. Moving and powerful, not even considering that this was made for a short jam. Pieces of the puzzle are presented at an excellent pace.
And the gameplay! Very creative, this and Spectral Shift are both so interesting. Feels like it would be satisfying to speedrun. Also, the d-pad animation is perfect.
Definitely one of my favorites in this jam and out. Great work!
Ok, one of the few with perfect score. A full story. A dark story. A finished story. Well done.
This game has a lot of depth to it for a jam game. Good visuals, interesting mechanics, story, and the sound is on point too. It even seemed like the bgm would partially cut out during the sfx where people speak, which reminded me of how it actually works on the gameboy since one of the audio channels would need to be used for the sfx. That was a nice detail. The puzzles are fun and I like how it teaches you the mechanics slowly. Great job!
this game has so much STYLE. it comes out in the game design and the graphics and the music and the writing -- all just wonderful stuff and all just wonderful to experience. ty for making this game!
Wow. Just wow. How it is possible that tricky gameplays and soundtrack, vast of puzzles within limited resources?
Excellent job. You got this!

Fantastic on all accounts. The setting, the puzzles, the story, the sounds, all really good and engaging. I love the vibes.
One of my top-3 games so far!! neat realisation, fun puzzles and quite the original gameplay mechanic of throwing the corpse away :D
The music and the SFX are great and the palette is good too
Excellent work!!!
Wow, easy 5/5 on all fronts. I'm gobsmacked - fantastic job!
I love the mecanics !! Really nice done and complete, I enjoyed playing this :)
Fun Puzzle game, love the mechanics of popping out of one's own body to get passed obstacles!
I love this game! Fun puzzles, good music and beautiful graphics!
What a solid entry! From start to finish, pure excellence! Nice gameplay, nice graphics, excellent sound, pure gold story and spooky to fit the jam's theme. Well done!
