Great job you guys! It feels really polished. I would say the it felt difficult at times to go exactly where I wanted. If the player moved along the grid more precisely it would be easier to navigate. For instance if the player felt like it stopped at the center of each floor piece. There is a bit of deceleration to stop which can be difficult to manage in such a cramped area. All in all though I think you guys did great!

Love the art, music and general mood! I don't know if it's part of the game but the character is always going bottom right, which makes it really hard sometimes to move and go where we want (but perhaps it's the gameplay). Great job!

The attacks are not responsive.
The asthetics are good, nice design choices

The game definitely has a strong aesthetic and playful atmosphere, I think with enemy improvements, eg. attack animations for the first enemy, adding attacks for the second enemy, the player can preempt this better. But the game has strong potential and I did eventually defeat the final boss, solid effort.

I absolutely adore the art style, all of the characters are so cute. I really enjoyed the game although I think it could use a bit of juice like screenshake and hitstun and stuff

I absolutely love that skeleton lol, the models and animations are amazing and I like how everything is wobbling, losing limbs on taking damage is also a nice touch. The game is pretty tough and it can be hard to hit enemies without taking damage or dodging, and I would sometimes get insta-killed by a falling object when it looked like I wasn't underneath it, but other than that I had a of lot of fun with the game. Spooky music is pretty cool too!

Good job on this entry!

Love the graphics! It's such a fun idea that the skeleton falls into pieces when you take damage and it works as the HP bar. The attack controls were a little unresponsive at times but overall fun game! Nice job!c:

Really nice game with music that makes me want to smash some spirits with my skelly hands :D Always lost at level 6, I think it might be nice if the enemies would have an attack animation that could be dodged instead of by contact. Anyways love the details like the falling goo particles and choppy skeleton animation!

Super cute skeleton, the final boss is really hard to beat. (I found out K button is very useful though)

Very nice graphics and music, i find the game a bit hard and i think its lacking a bit of visual or audio feedback when you hit ennemies, great game it was fun.

Very cool game. The graphics are very nice and cute. The animation is nice too. I liked the idea that the hero's body parts fall off when he takes damage. But I'm dying very quickly. At some point, there are a lot of enemies. And it seems to me that the game's controls should be improved. I could not hit the enemies, attacking head-on.

I really liked the animation of the character, and how they would lose bones as they got hurt. It was a little difficult without having feedback from your attacks, but I eventually got it.

Really loved the animation and character design. Overall the game was implemented and plays really well for a game jam game you should be super proud of what you've been able to achieve.

Gorgeous art. Great music and sounds. Great atmosphere and concept. The game play was more immediately difficult than I felt it should be. I think there should be a bit more positive feedback for the player when they do something good. I think this one has a lot of potential.

Perfect animations, really nice graphics. Game is balanced, it takes a few attempts to beat it. Only bug that I have found is not working sound button in web version.

Cool game! Found it on twitter and came searching for it. Very nice art. And I like how your health is represented. great stuff. For improvement, it would be good to have more feedback on the hits. Crooked Castle actually has similar vibes to our game, come check it out if you got time :)

Wow amazing graphics, nice music, it really shines in this game. As a minor issue, attacks animation and movement are somewhat confusing some times.

Amazing visual! Cool characterss and Fun gameplay. If i would recommend something, maybe only a smaller cooldown for basic attack. One of my favorites.

This is the best LD49 game I've played so far.. The gameplay is fun and challenging, the graphics and animation are great, and so are the music and sound effects. It all seems very polished. Fantastic job!

A really fun game that I played until there was not a single bone left of me!)
Everything looks harmonious.
I liked your game, well done in all plans!)
This is a good result in such a short time.
