About Grave Night
Grave Night is a small top-down arena game for Halloween. You are Patch, a knight with a pumpkin for a head, and the dead will not stay in their graves.
Hold out for three nights, three waves each: the pumpkin patch, the drowned churchyard and the frozen crypt. Skeletons climb out first, then the zombies join them. At every dusk you get a heart back and pick one of three upgrade cards, and the cards stack. After the third night the Skeleton King rises for the last fight. Beat him to see the dawn.
Slash, smash the ground around you, and roll out of the way. Your best score is kept between visits.
## Controls
* Move: WASD or the arrow keys
* Slash: J or Space
* Smash: K
* Roll: L or Shift
* Pause: Esc or P
The game is made for a keyboard.
