Did you work in a team?
This is a solo game
Was the resolution a challenge?
Creating small sprites is always a challenge. I kept it as simple as I could.
What did you learn?
My focus was on the kicking mechanic because I have a bigger game in mind that will use something similar. I learned a lot in the process, trying to keep things fun without becoming too challenging.

Nice, simple and fun. Interesting use of space with the score being the background, BTW.
Thanks a lot!
It took me a moment to get how it showed the score as I was just focused on the skull, but I liked the approach of making that the background.
Thanks Val!
A simple concept, well executed. I did feel I could go infinite by tapping lightly against a wall.
You’re welcome to try 😇
Nobody has done it yet so let me know if you do. Thanks for the kind words 👍
The mechanic is sweet, I would love to see this taken further. Even though this is very small it is well put together and nicely polished.
Thanks a lot cerealbuffer!
This is mesmerizing, one of my favorites so far. Great touch having the timer in the background. Designed well in that I couldn't find any "tricks" to cheat my way into a high score. Well done.
Thanks so much zzox!
This reminded me a lot of California Games (the footbag minigame). Fun to play and very funny game, I like that the score is shown on the background, nice way to save space.
Good job!
Thanks a lot Thinker!
Awesome little game, I had a lot of fun playing it! The mechanics feel great, and using the background to show the score is a cool idea. The music is fun and very fitting! Great job!
Thanks a lot! I had fun putting the giant scoreboard into the background of the game but I didn't anticipate it getting such a positive reaction :D
Kicking mechanic feels pretty good. Nice job!
Thanks Dr!
It's a simple idea with a big potencial. Very funny. We need more games like this :)
Very good job!!
Thank you so much!
Ok, that’s fun. Learning curve to play => 0, learning curve to be somewhat good => > 0 Simple. Elegant. Cool.
Thanks a lot Randy!
Nice use of the small screen! I like everything from the visuals to the animated logo to the BG. I believe the minimalism very well here and can't think in anything I would recommend to change.
:) very good job!!!!
High praise indeed 🙇♂️. Thank you Roberto.
I think this is the funniest game I have played considering the submissions of this game jam so far!
I'm amazed how a simple idea turned out to be a funny-as-hell game. It definitely is addicting, and even though it lacks certain polish elements, it feels great to play the game. Sound design is also awesome, and I adore what you did with the animations in a simple but effective way!
Solid entry, loved what you did there, well done!
Cheers Beez! I was aiming for fun and stupid so it made me very happy to read your review.
So good! my best score for now is 40 \o/ but after seeing someone got over 100 I have to try it a bit more ^^ those short sharp hip-ups are the strat ;) really good game, and amazing audio!
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the kind words.
I managed to score over 500 but that was after an awful lot of playtesting. If you manage to score over 100, you are doing great. My strategy is to try to get high, straight shots by hitting the skull near the end of the leg and timing it so that the leg is close to horizontal at the moment of collision. It takes more practice but it gets you a more predictable arc and more time to reposition Uppy (I've just decided that's their name).
Nice little game. I didn't notice right away that the background was the score, haha.
Thanks Jack :D
Funny little game, good fun for a quick break. Maybe some more character put into the skull would make it more entartining… like rolling it, wide-eyed, in pain… Idk, some comical factor ;)
Nice job with a good implmentation of a simple but effective idea.
Thanks SlainteES! Yes, some extra animation would be good, in the body too.
Good game concept, but it would be better to add the opportunity of loss. I'd also appreciate some difficulties or levels.
Thanks for the feedback!
Consistent pixel art style with very few colors that fits the quirky undead theme :) Sound and music also fit well
Simple but fun mechanics that need a bit of training to master…
Good very simple but complete game - Great job :)
Thanks a lot mate 👍
That was great! and this would work really well on a phone it think, overall really fun.
Thanks a lot Matt! I’m going to give that some consideration.
So simple yet super fun! Good job
Thanks n0va!
Good fun! Takes me back to playing the hackysack minigame from California Games on the NES! This would make a good mobile game for sure. I also like how you incorporated the score into the background.
Thanks! I honestly hadn’t thought about this as a possible mobile game but with a few changes I think it might be viable. I will certainly give it some thought.
