Story 📚

You’re alone in a graveyard, hounded by armies of the undead. Can you escape death and rescue all of humanity?

Set to 8-bit music, Gravepassing evokes Game Boy aesthetics with a 16x16 base tile grid, downscaled emojis and dithered ligthing for that overall retro vibe.

You can play the game with a keyboard or controller.

CONTROLS

Keyboard: Move = [Arrow Keys] Fire = [Space] Drop bomb = [X] Menu = [ESC]

Controller: Move = left joystick Fire = (A) Drop bomb = (B) Menu = (Options) / (Menu)

The game should work on any operating system in Chrome / Firefox but it was primarily designed for MacOS emojis and looks the best in there. It adapts to other platforms too, you can say those are platform exclusive versions ;)

Written in TypeScript.
