I loved this game. It is that kind of puzzle game where you gotta create a solution instead of find one and the level design explored it really well paired with the skull score system. Too bad some levels can't be beaten with 3 skulls but totally understandable. Great pixel art as well =D

I've seen a lot of games of this style in the jam but this one is easily the best! Everything in it is so well polished and thought out. The puzzles I found to be the right amount of difficulty (at least for me) and the atmosphere was overall very enjoyable. I did seem to find some invisible object in the 2nd last level that was killing me or I seemed to of missed something? Over all amazing game! :D
It was a damn good mechanic. Having him jump or move in a direction depending on the beat. The art and music styles really fit the game as well. The puzzles were damn challenging as well and were very fun. Great job overall :)
Really excellent take on the theme! If there were more levels, I'd play this for hours. Phenomenal work! :-D
I almost played the entire game! I stopped at the last level. It was a lot of fun and a very cool mechanic that definitely fits the theme! Could 100% be a nice mobile game or even a nice pc game for that matter.
Well done and good luck!
I just finished it, really cool mechanics and loved the style! Good job on this one
I like the black and white pixel aesthetic! Like you said, the controls confused me at first because I didn't go to the game page, but they were simple enough to figure out by trial and error.
Everything fits perfectly , the details and the flavor really puts you in this problem solving mode.
well done , You have my attention :)
PS: level 3 solution?
So good your game, very original and well implemented. Hope you continue to support after the jam!
Pretty cool game! The sounds, music and gameplay fit really well. At the last screen there's an arrow going up that didn't fit into the box so I only saw it after the skeleton jumped. PS: how the heck do I get 3 skulls in the second level?
Great game from every point ! I like a good pixelart puzzle game, and this one is really well-made (okay, except for invisible spikes). Good job to you!
Really awesome game here was really nicely polished! A little tricky to begin with some polish to UI would help. But well executed concept I'd love to see and play more of this!
Liked the theme and art-style. Puzzles were fun to think about, last one took some time. Very nice and fun to figure out.
