This game's awesome. :D A+ guys, really a great job. The ghosts are freaking adorable!
Oooh, that's right! I did read the instructions, but I walked away from the game then came back. I must have forgot about the shovel points. That must be what caused me to stop digging. Thanks! :D
I'm quite pleased this game is well received. c:
Finally got the torch!
Was the game tweaked or did my luck run out? I was getting one to two ghosts a game before now I'm lucky if it's one ghost every few games.
So, if you find one of the characters that gives you a plushie, but it's blocked by coffins, then you don't get it? That just happened to me. I unburied everything around it, but there were coffins on it.
That seems like it should be a glitch. I've had it happen 4 times with the same character now and it's super obnoxious.
it is indeed annoying, but once you get it, it's something you don't need to worry about any more. you should get it by the time you find all of the ghosties you need to find though xD
confirmed on the first page that it's not a glitch :c
The game is super cute :D Loving it! ALSO. DAT COFFIN THAT LOOKS LIKE A CHEST. omg XD
I think I found a bug, though. When you reach the bottom chamber, if you have exactly 0 shovel points, you can't open the coffin and the game never ends. At least that looks like a bug to me, since it doesn't give me Game Over and I also can't win, haha.
I encountered the skeletons being blocked by coffins a few times, but they showed up enough for me that I still managed to get them all in a reasonable amount of time. About 30 minutes - an hour or so of just gaming, I think? I might have lost track of time. :O I also like that it has a definite end rather than an infinite amount of digging to do. Though an infinite level would be nice--maybe when the game's expanded with more medium/hard difficulty levels, a "zen" level could be added where you start with a higher amount of shovel points/health and it ends when you run out of shovel points? That may also be helpful for folks who want the 250 ghosts achievement.
Anyway, the art is adorable and I love the bonus skeletons and ghosts--especially the winged one. My one suggestion is that it's a little silly that I can't pick up the shovel health powerup when I'm at 0 shovel points. I mean, I get the concept behind it, but it's just a little frustrating. :P
that actually is a bug.
well... less a bug than something i meant to do and forgot. buuuut you know :P
Same thing happened to me the first time I played it I was so confused! hahaha, but I agree the game is awesome and the ghosts are too cute!
Oh excellent! I'm glad to know I'll be able to get a second chance when I run out of shovel points, then. :D Thank you for your work!
The ghosts are ADORABLE, thank you for the background! I already got the background and all 3 plushies. Yeah, some of the skeletons were blocked several times, but it was still easy for me to get them all. I'm not even very good at games usually, even though I love them. (I wish the background was working right now though, it seems glitched with the whole grey HA thing.)
Oh, it does make me a bit woozy though. Leave it to me to feel dizzy from a game people are thankful they don't feel dizzy from :P Anything with that kind of continual scrolling makes everything look like it's still falling when I look away from the game.
Yeah if I hadn't been lucky to win before I'd be all "?? wat happens nao? do I have to do anything else" hahaha. I was still walking from one side to the other but then I realized it must take a shovel point to open it (it did!) and just hit reset. xD
you also cannot use the invincible shovel thingy when you're at 0, if you collect it with 1 left, it'd be nice to be able to use it.
[edit] ghosts sometimes appear on the very top row where you start out and don't count towards achievements.
I love it so much. The music is fantastic without being annoying, and I'm having far too much fun with the dynamite.
