Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
The player controls a skeleton — an undead creature brought back to life through necromancy. Milk, known for strengthening bones, serves as the resurrection mechanic. When the skeleton dies, milk can restore it back to life, connecting both the theme and the special object.

What tools and 3rd party assets did you use?
Built with Unity 6. All pixel art sprites and animations were created in Aseprite. Audio sourced from freesound.org. No third party assets were used.

How did you use generative AI? (If you did)
Claude AI (Anthropic) was used as a programming assistant to help with code structure, debugging, and problem-solving during development. All game design, artwork, and creative decisions were made by the developer.

Quite fun! Like the other commenters I agree, the animations were really smooth, plus I also accidentally jumped over the milk XD. If I had to give a comment, it would be that the one obstacle, the bar fence thingy, I initially thought was background since it wasn't on the same level as the graves or the bone piles etc. Very smooth to play and had a good time. Congrats on the submission!

Saw only one milk and jumped over it... But still cool!

Developer

Haha, yeah, the milk is very rare because it gives you an extra life. Thanks for the feedback! :)

I'm ashamed to admit I dodged the first milk carton I came across.

Love the crouch animation, but as  Prinzherbert said, it could be a little faster.

Developer

Yeah, thanks for the feedback

The gameplay itself is really fun. It felt like the density of obstacles didn't change, it only required faster and faster reaction times, that's my only criticism of it. The pixel art is good, but some animations could be faster (crouching especially) and the fence obstacle should be a bit more clear. The audio seemed to play way louder on my left ear, Idk if it's a bug, but it was a bit distraction.

Anyway, the vibe definitely fits the theme. and the game was fun. Got to roughly 2000 meters!

Developer

Yeah, thanks for the feedback You're right.
