I really like the game.
Great design, difficulty progression in levels.
Great PixelArt too.
Just one little stuff, I got a bug but I can not reproduce it now (I try 3 times): when you have to stone block on top of each other and you walk on the bottom one, to push the top one the bottom one move as the top one. (I play on html5)

Awesome mechanics! Locking skeletons makes for very interesting gameplay and strategy ! Well done! Also, boy do the levels get difficult ><

Fun little puzzles! Nice job on building more and more difficult levels.

One piece of feedback: I'm not really a fan of using the mouse to lock and unlock skeletons. Maybe you should be able to move only one skeleton and just cycle between the one that is active by pressing a key.

Good entry, I think the learning curve needs improvement and maybe less elements at the start. Other than that, pretty good

Great puzzle game with some out of the box thinking very fitting to the theme. Well done! I did run into a small bug: If you saccrifice 2 skeletons that are standing on top of each other, the head of the top skeleton doesn't get removed and just hangs in the air for all eternity :laughing: .

Commands are really responsive and you put together a nice set of levels! Congrats!
I really missed a jumping sound and in general a background music that would have created more immersive mood.
The design is really clever and challenging, and the graphic has is own artstyle that I loved. Nice one! :)

looks interessting. The same movement for both skeletons, makes the game really hard. The Graphics are simple and the Sounds are great. Good Work!

Wow, this is so well-made game! I love every part of it. Puzzles are not too hard, made through levels no problem, but they are pretty addictive and fun to solve. Nice take on theme and well-designed levels, too.

@zarqus99 I never made any music (and I don't like using premade assets) so I wanted to finally make something for this LD but run out of time. Maybe next LD I will have music in my game :sweat_smile:

Nothing was broken. Pretty pixel art and fitting sfx. The mechanics are easy to understand and it controls well. Plenty of content and it uses the theme perfectly. Impressive!! Super well done.

Really nice game with a really good use of the theme, I felt the levels had really good difficulty that eased you in, so you could understand the mechanics. Some music would have improved the mood of the game but I know its hard with limited time so maybe something you could add if you took the game further.

This is probably my favorite game I've come across so far. It really reminds me of the old lemmings game! There's a lot you could do with this.

Really cute game. Love the mechanism! I think some music could be nice. There's a bug when using Alt it doens't always show the numbers. Sometimes it would only show some of the numbers like 1 and 4 and if I press alt it will show 2 and 3 but 1 and 4 will disappear. I played the html5 version.

Excellent! Sometimes a little tricky to control the skeletons, but top class entry! Fun puzzles with a good challenge rating.

Great game! Got me hooked until I finished it :v: And solving it required an unusual amount of planing ahead, with all the skeletons moving at once until you choose what every skeleton should do. A very nice take! Liked it so very much!
