Part of Tiny Mass Games Season 10
To be a ghost - a soul once again upon the surface of the world.
It is unnatural.
Time conspires against you.
It will not belong before you are sent back into darkness.
So you pick flowers because you like them and also because they seem to help??
Stay on the surface for as long as you can - pick flowers and weave through an increasingly claustrophobic graveyard.
There is so much more to experience...
You just need more time.

Cool game. My only, probably stupid, gripe is a small... exploit? with the scoring system, in that stalling the clock in early game seems the be the optimal way to play. Maybe add bonus score for overflowing the clock with some mutiplier to incentivise it? Like it seems that each second is worth 100 points, then many each second you overflow the clock could be 500 points
hey! thanks for playing and the feedback
can you explain what you mean by stalling the clock?
one note on overflowing:
a (currently unadvertised) thing that happens right now is if you overflow the clock it actually increases your max time. so in that way it does kind of contribute to your overall ability to score.
Really fun! There was a really old Windows 3.1 shareware game called Jewel Thief that you played with a mouse. It kind of reminds me of that. Sounds and music are great!
Thanks!! And yeah I just looked up Jewel Thief - I can see the relation. We need an Unreal 5 Engine remake of it, I think.
Good stuff! I like the music (electroswing?), it sounds appropriately Looney Toons-ish. It all came together great!
haha thanks! much appreciated.
I always struggle to find the right music but I think this ended up being a fun choice.
I think the game might benefit from checking when flowers spawn right in front of a tombstone, and if so, invert their Z-pos, cause sometimes flowers cover the tombs completely and it sucks to die like that. Other than that, this is pretty fun
totally! I have a couple of QoL updates I'd like to make soon and that's top of the list. Thanks for playing!
