Grave Man
"It's Halloween, and the night falls on the graveyard. But... the dead has other plans for this special occasion...
TO RISE AND DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY!
Your job? To stop them from leaving their graves, this is no party! With your shovel in hand, whack 'em back to where they belong! You are, a Graveyard Keeper after all.
Failure to do the job, will make your boss, very unhappy. How long will you last, I wonder?"
Grave Man is a fast-paced, zombie-whacking, high-score game.
Where getting as far as you can is key, before the undead rises on this... seemingly never-ending night shift?
Wait, why is the moon red!?
HOW TO PLAY:
-WASD or arrow keys, to run around.
-Left-click, to swing your Shovel in the direction you're aiming at.
-Right-click, to Dash in the direction you're running.
-Spacebar, to throw your Shovelrang in the direction you're pointing at.
-The Ghosts can steal your shovel, get it back if that happens!
-The game is over when an undead rises from their grave, so go get that money!
POWER-UPS:
Omnishovel 
Rains down a barrage of shovels on all graves, handy for money making.
Ghost Buddy 
Spawns a ghastly version of yourself, that helps with the money collection.
Winged Trainers 
Makes you lighter than a ghost, in short, Gotta go fast!

Fun Game that really keeps the player on their toes. The game's page is very clear as to your instructions but having that built into a game menu would be very helpful. In any case, overall had a bit of fun with it and definitely worth a shot!
Very fun game.
Thanks for playing! Though I notice you didn't press space to throw the shovel! It's the key to survival!
You can do that?!?!?! Damn!! Next time lol.
Grave Man is short, fast paced, silly, and deceptively challenging. I dig it. (Pun intended.)
Good job, devs.Thanks. Glad you enjoyed playing and nice video!
Liked the game! there's a bug if you press esc, the screen goes black and player needs to refresh the game to keep playing
Yeah the escape key closes the windows build. It was left in here as we assumed nobody would press it but unfortunately you did :)
On development in general, everything that could happen, will happen. I assumed esc would pause the game if that helps for feedback ;)
I have also encountered this bug . . . as I was tempted to see for myself after reading these comments
It was a fun project to work on, hope you folks liked playing it!
