The Skeleton Delivery Experience by Exilon
A rage game about a skeleton that is sent to purgatory, damned to deliver boxes for the rest of eternity. For now, you only have to deliver 3.

If you develop more beyond the jam, it'd be cool if you started as a 'whole' skeleton, or person, then gradually lost limbs/flesh etc. Like a "I gotta deliver this package dead or alive" :smile:

This was actually a plan for the game but I couldn't do that because of time constraints lol.
I had initially 3 ideas for the skeleton:
* Your idea
* One arm for the box
* 2 arms
I decided with 2 arms because they make the skeleton flail about more and it makes the game more unfair >:)
> It’s really just having to start over all the time that stopped me from finishing it
I agree with this. I was stuck on making the deaths reset everything or just bring you to a checkpoint but in the end, I decided on the first option due to time but also its undeniably frustrating as shit to lose that progress but yea. If I made more levels and continued working on the game, that's the first thing I would change.
Very cool game!

You nailed the classic *rage game aesthetic* it just blends in really well, you can tell at a glance what it's trying to do -- I would love to see this as a full game, even if I wouldn't be able to beat it, it just works that well. I've finished things like Getting Over It and such, so *mayyyyybe* with enough determination I'll overcome this obstacle all the same. Either way, LOVED it, great job! :beers:
I really liked the mood and simple yet effective sound effects.
it was nice the when the music kicked in too. :)
Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) [youtube link](youtu.be/urgNg4JO17M)
