Had a great time with this game, the graphics are so stylish!

It was super funny that all of your bones pile up at the end bottom.

The part where you can get bounced into the branches seemed a bit punishing.

Super small file size is a big plus in my book also.

Cool voice work with that lo-fi filtering!

Thanks for participating in the jam!

I thought your entry was wacky and nice and light hearted. I liked Mona's voice over at the end though it was a little hard to hear.

I was able to make it a few times but its pretty tough due to how quickly you fall and how big your body is. At one point I took enough damage that just my head was left and that was surprisingly easier.

Nice work!

Oh man, this music was wonderful. Big banjo-kazooie vibes. Nice job team. Game was a little difficult - I kept getting stuck on the first bouncing section because it would knock me back up above to a ledge and i'd lose multiple hits. That being said, I finished it and was not disappointed lol. Thanks for making this!

This is way too spooky for this time of year, you shoulda saved it for the October jam. But all joking aside, that was fun. It's fast, simple, with appealing sound and graphics, plus a big skeleton smooch if you remembered the camera. You can even pick your bone colour. Yellow skelly for the win!

What a charming game! This is definitely the most creative game I have played in the jam so far. It's short, but with the multiple endings it makes me want to play it again and again. I thought it was really creative how the health corresponds to the bones Boney-Wan Kenobi has left. And I liked that low-bitrate audio for the voices, it really fits the mood set by the rest of the game. Music was also nice and spooky with the (I think) xylophone. I'm definitely bookmarking this and telling some people about it.

The Marimba (or Xylophone?) was a great spooky skeleton choice, in fact y'all nailed a fun goofy feeling with the sound effects too. Your hit box decreasing so much was an interesting way to scale difficulty.

Ого, целая семейка скелетов! Здорово, что у них все в порядке!
Короткая и веселая игра! Спасибо ^_^

Straight up the best music I've heard in a game jam game so far. Extremely fun game, with a really enjoyable aesthetic that screams just jolly goodness. The ending theme is a personal favorite and sounds like Diddy Kong racing. Overall you guys really just embraced the nonsense and I love it. Props to the choice to include voice acting and that silly little ending picture. I think taking a small concept and just fully realizing it like this is what LDJam is all about and you guys really captured that c:

This game has really great graphics and music, it's a shame that most people will not get to hear the full length of the music tracks.

The UI and menu's are really polished, but feel like they detracted away time from improving the gameplay and building upon it, such as more levels, collectibles etc.
The movement and control of the character is pretty much spot on, but I would've liked to have the ability to speed up or slow down the skeleton so I could more precisely navigate the obstacle course. This could open up the game to challenges such as speed running and score attack.

Overall a really great jam entry that y'all should be proud of! 😘

🐞Game crashes if you complete the first level and start with a different coloured skeleton.
