You're the secretary at a cemetery, and have to document all the bones in this graveyard. Use tactics to avoid ghosts and specters that dwell underground, and recover as many bones in one piece as you can, before returning to the office!
Controls: - arrow keys to move - X to interact (HOLD for a few seconds to document the bones!)
TOUGH, but fair. If you learn the behavior and probable location of the enemies, you can do this!
Tips: - bones are always buried underneath a gravestone - ghosts appear somewhere above buried bones - specters appear somewhere next to bones - don't make the bones fall from too high, or they'll break!

I like it a lot! It took me a while to get the proper behaviour when a ghoul spawns right on me (run back, don't dig!), but once I did, it wasn't that hard to finish anymore.
The graphics are great, especially with the neat little animations. Good choice of color.
Oh, and the messages are a lovely humorous touch! :D
The difficulty was good for me. The game reminded me of the ghost in Spelunky. Even though it is quite simplistic, it is well polished and already a lot of fun. It would be cool maybe if there were more types of enemies.
Thx all. The ghost was indeed inspired by Spelunky. More types of enemies is a good idea. I also wanted a burrowing type of enemy, that moves down to you, and excavates dirt. Alas, no more time :) As to more levels: I'd rather make this one level more dynamic procedurally.
Awesome game! Very original, and the mood is a great mix of eerie, but light-hearted. The art is perfect for this, and a very appropriate soundtrack as well. Loved it!
This is great! The art style is well done, and it's full of character. I like how the different things you find require different strategies to deal with.

really got scared a bit when I had all bones and had to escape the monsters. well done :)
Liked that the bones and skull monsters both fell and died! :D
