That last bit was something and because I didn't read your generous hint, I was stuck on the last level for a time. xD\n\nMy only critique would be in that long elevator climb, I once didn't make a lift switch and I was left staring at the screen for a bit. My character was in the screen below but the camera didn't follow. Thankfully I didn't press any directional keys and I just had to jump constantly to try and move forward. I feel like that should definitely be fixed. \n","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1048050,"author_name":"maymay","author_uid":"maymay","epoch":1713297344,"text":"Cute game! The tiny baby skeletons made me laugh :) I was unable to complete the game unfortunately because I got soft-locked during the elevator climb-- I kept trying to reset but it spawned me offscreen and I couldn't get the elevator platform.

Damage seemed to be delayed sometimes and the skeleton combat seemed a little random when they did damage. Other than that, I didn't see the point in doing the multiple elevators in that long shaft. A single elevator would have worked, it didn't seem to add anything other than some mild annoyance trying to jump on an elevator on a screen transition.\n\nThe idea was really cool though. I enjoyed myself and played the whole thing so with some more polish I could see this being an amazing game.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1048089,"author_name":"scottjmulligan","author_uid":"scottjmulligan","epoch":1713297514,"text":"I love the mechanic of utilizing skeletons to fight and to solve puzzles.

The concept of having the skeletons nullify the spikes was cool, too. I could see this becoming a cool puzzle platformer. My only real complaint is that the finale seemed impossible. I think the intention was that I needed to jump forward, dark star, and spam skeletons for my life before the lasers started, but I wasn't able to get that to work. Once the lasers were on, I was cooked and I simply couldn't get close enough to the mines to clear them without the lasers getting in the way. There was also one time where I got hit by a mine or a laser and then my character started moving really slowly for some reason. Other than that, I thought the 3 levels before were great.
