Guard a lone platform in the depths of a forgotten tomb. Eat adventurers to regain your strength.

Being a random enemy in a platformer, you only have to touch the hero to hurt them. Use the arrow keys to walk, Q and E to lunge in either direction and W to throw bones. Pressing down over a corpse will let you eat it. Enemies become tougher over time, so hold out as long as you can.

The mood in this game is great, the words between stages dark, and the flesh feasting animation and accumulating skeletons wonderfully macabre. The gameplay uses a simple but addictive formula. Dig it!

Nice one ! The controls looked a bit too smooth for me, but I liked the concept and the graphics. Well Done :)

I enjoyed the premise and mood.

Became a bit easy for me when I realized you could just stand on people you knocked over. Although, the seventh guy I did that to managed to throw a knife at me while I was standing on him and I flew off the edge.

Hard game! Love how the bodies persist between rounds and decay.

The mood and sound in the game are great. I was kinda bad but a fun game nonetheless.

Enjoyed how fluid everything felt. Was able to cheese my way through a few levels by throwing bones as they jumped onto the platform. Looks like you tried to take steps against that strategy though, haha.
