This was fun to play! The mechanic is neat; definitely could be something to explore more. I loved the humorous vibe--I definitely had a skeltastic time! :)

A really creative mechanic! The jumpscares got me a couple of times, I wasn't expecting it. Good work!

Psycho-SerumReally interesting mechanic, I found some levels to be really challenging, but overall very fun!
The only bit of critique would be to have a more cohesive art style, the skeletons and the jumpscares pop out too much from the rest of the artwork.
Would like to see this idea developed further, cool stuff!

Baby Bonny Has a SecretI loved the way I was taken to the bone zone. I found the game very fun and challenging in some parts, but the ending was revealing. I'm sure it's the beginning of an idea that can still bear good fruit. Congratulations and success to you!

Room Sweet BackroomSometimes a more light-hearted experience works well. So - I was assuming this was meant to be cheeky, so as the happy skeleton came over to share in my merriment, I was pretty unbothered. Here he comes! Here comes the - AIEEEEEEEEEEEE! I was taken to the Bone Zone and torn to pieces. Jokes aside, this is a pretty ingenious puzzle game whether players are using the singing mechanic to move objects and goals, whilst counteracting the time spent singing with the advance of the skeleton. This gets pretty witty when both singing and non-singing states have hazards, such as the infamous pink skeleton. And the finale revealed the dark but sobering truth: inside all of us, there lurks a skeleton. Very fun.

SHELLIE'S SECRETWooow thank you so much for your words!! :) Yeah I think I should have given some kind of warning that the spooky boys were not feeling playful today.. hahaha Appreciate the review and the time you spent playing the game, I'm pretty happy about the mechanic I thought for this jam but I was afraid it could be frustrating if I made it very difficult, had to tweak a lot of stuff... Only if you could watch how fast moved the skeletons in the first tests.. Insert Cars meme of I am speed.
See you in more jams :)
