Great platformer that reminds me of games like Doodle Jump or other old jumping platformer in the early iPhone era. The character feels a bit slow, but the gameplay is still fun. Also fun music!
big thanks for checking it out it was a little inspired by doodle jump actually
Nice platformer mechanics, with the excellent music on the background, the game played almost like a rhythm game. And I liked the variety, too. Nice job!
big thanks for checking it out
This is a solid game entry that has tight controls. Well done.
big thanks for checking it out
Really enjoyed SkelJump — the color palette and retro jump-platform style are super fun and well done. The challenge and progression feel satisfying! A few more sound-effects or checkpoints might make it even stronger, but great job for the jam! Rated + commented :
big thanks for checking it out !
This game really reminds me of old mobile games. It’s super fun!
If you added some special items, it could make the gameplay even more exciting.
One thing to improve, though, is the UI that appears when pausing the game. It looks a bit squished or stretched.
thanks for checking it out i know about the pausing meny i just made it 15 minutes before i needed to submit it lol
I love the palette used in the game! The simple premise and gameplay made this a really pleasant game to play. Congratulations on submission!
thanks a lot for checking it out
Fun game. The level design kinda reminded me of Doodle jump. The temporary blocks are fantastic addition to improve gameplay and the fun factor.
big thanks for checking it out
Liked the style and gameplay tho I found it challenging to complete, good job!
big thanks for checking it out!
Hey there, Sans!
(I know that skeleton isn’t actually Sans, but I just really wanted to make the joke.)
It’s a simple yet fun game!
The color palette is well-chosen — very readable and pleasant to look at.
It reminded me of the mobile Android games I used to play about ten years ago.
I think I’ll probably keep playing a bit more after writing this review!
I do have a small suggestion, though — the fragile platforms also break when you jump up and hit them from below.
Maybe it would feel better if they only broke when the player steps on them?
It just feels a little unfair when they collapse after being bumped with my head!
big thanks for checking it out i only realise know that skull looks kinda like sans lol i get the platforms breaking when you touch the bottem being anoying i was gonna fix that but i ran out of time and i will be going back to polishing the game and to fix that isue thanks a lot for the feedback!
This brings me back to the early 2010s with that one Android game. Great design with the upgrades, love the music too.
thanks a lot for checking it out!
I saw this game on a stream, and I wanted to play it myself. The game is good, and I especially like the camera work and the gradual progression. I'm satisfied with the difficulty, but the first section with spikes is a pain for me. It might have been better to make the collision a bit lower than the sprite, but it's up to you to decide. Good job.
thanks a lot for checking it out i might go back and make it a little easier
Nice game, reminiscent of the good old days of Doodle Jump with a few nice additions to the formula :)
thanks a lot for checking it out
Interesting game! Simple yet replayable, with buffs that keep you going. The art is well polished. Great job!
big thanks for checking it out
I like this game it's cool and enjoyable, but if there was an score system(i.e. increasing the number by climbing up) then it would be better to compare high scores of all players. overall good 2D game and can become even better if it is polished further.
thanks for checking it out i was actually gonna add a score system tough i ran out of time
I like this game. It was challenging, but also fun. Keep making games.
big thanks for checking it out
It was a simple game that made me want to play through to the end! I just wish there had been more checkpoints. Still, overall, you did an excellent job creating it.
thanks i might have made it a bit to hard none of my friends could beat it either😅
Fun little skully platformer. Loved that the slow fall can be used while jumping to get a super-jump! Some of the longer horizontal segments made the void kind of come out of nowhere (which isn't necessarily bad but was a bit of a fells bad getting close to the end of the section and dying from it).
thanks for checking it out i had some friends that couldt get past the first horizontal section so its good too hear you menaged to get all the way to slow fall also like 20 minutes ago i fixed a bug that made the void not kill the player so if you want to play it in the future you should redownload it
Haha, I actually saw that you made the change when I went to review it so I played both versions. Feels a lot more polished with the portal being eaten by the void screen
thanks for checking it out!
Simple but effective! It either needs more things in between or the powerups to come sooner, a bit too much basic jumping at the beginning to really hold the issue. Could use some SFX, and the music didn't really do anything for me either.
thanks for checking it out! yea a lot of the begining is pretty basic its my first time making a platfomer so most of my time went into trying to improve the level desing because of that its slimple for the start tough i did spice it up a bit toward the end
This is actually quite fun, I really like how you get power ups to change gameplay, specially because the dash can be used to trigger a second jump mid air, I don't know if that was intentional but it does make for really fun combos, unfortunatelly the void bugs when you die and you don't respawn, also Its anoying to go all the way back to beggining upon game over, the checkpoints should also push the void down.
thank you for checking my game out yea the second jump of the dash was intentional it makes a lot of the game easier actauly i dont even know if you can get to the end without it to be honest i should have probably stated somwhere that you can do that about that void bug i tought i had fixed that before the games release so that sucks i will be going back to fix that and i might make it a bit easier
