Welcome to your graveyard! Your goal is to make it as scary as possible by planting dead trees or building tombstones. Don’t let humans cross the graveyard without running away!
\nMost assets are based on the work of Kenney (@KenneyNL): big thanks to him!

Upgrades are a good idea.\nI just don’t really know if people are affected by nearby elements or just by total scare-o-meter value

I played this when it was first posted and liked the look of it. It was a struggle to scare people, I ended up using lightning a lot. Music was good but a bit too loud, having it start muted was helpful.

Various upgrades help move the game forward. I think with some more sounds and appealing music this is pretty much a complete game.

So, you add creepy trees, headstones, bats, and ghosts in an attempt to petrify the poor unsuspecting humans who wander into your hallowed grounds.
\nAnd all of this is excellent fun! The graphics are wonderful, the sound is spooky, and you soon lose ages, trying your best to line up just the right number of bats in trees to scare those coming in. Glowing tombstones can be upgraded, getting more decrepit and spooky with each upgrade.
\nPerforming these tasks costs soul stones, which you gain from growing blue flowers and also scaring humans away. So as with all TD games, it’s a fine balance of careful construction and resource management. The fact this fits into 13k is just stunning because, with a few more tweaks, this would easily be a full, addictive game.

I liked the variation too. This is a fun and great little game! I think you should have enabled sounds and music by default - it adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Spent a lot of time playing it, highest score I was able to get to was 1690. However, the game does have one flaw imo, which is that the tutorial is absolutely required. In order to even really stand a chance in the game, you must manage the tutorial exactly. Don’t kill the guy as he walks across and just build up currency instead.
\nIf you skip the tutorial, the game becomes about 20x more difficult. This could easily be fixed by having more setup time and starting with just a single visitor even if you don’t choose tutorial.
\nOther than that, I do absolutely love the game and am going to go play it again :). Great work!
\n(edit: Made it to 3021, at that point it becomes almost impossible :))

I wasn’t able to figure out what was a good strategy to win this after a couple tries, I always lost after a few minutes. But it’s quite fun and challenging.\nI like that there are several constraints to the objects I build, so I had to repeat the game 2-3 times before i nailed it.\nKudos for the comprehensive tutorial. The music gives the game a good atmosphere.\nI hate having to pick flowers. Can I buy a gardener?

Nice Kenney sprites, lots of content to pick from, clever use of the death theme. The sounds were nice; I’d enable those by default. Good job!
