Rising from the grave after a two-year hiatus, EA's micro-studio 8lb Gorilla has released casual outing Ghost Harvest onto the App Store.

The studio's second game - following Zombies & Me - throws you into the role of a cemetery caretaker, and tasks you with helping the recently deceased to find a better afterlife.

You'll find yourself digging graves, planting headstones, and harvesting the souls of reckless pilots and space miners, which reward you with cash and experience upon reaching the pearly gates.

If you're not one for complete doom and gloom, you can spruce up your graveyard with a selection of trees, mansions, scarecrows, and other artefacts.

You'll even have to defend you cemetery against prying eyes, such as reporters and photographers.

Ghost Harvest's premium currency is candy, which can be spent to speed up all of your tasks. It's available through in-app purchase starting at 59p/99c, or by watching selected game trailers from EA.

8lb Gorilla will continue to support and update Ghost Harvest with new content. It's also working on secret games, to be released in the near future.

You can grab Ghost Harvest now from the App Store for free.
