Mr. Skeltal Post Mortem

We’ve been putting this off for a little bit, but now is as good a time as any to show off our Jam entry.

You may want to try out the game before reading this post, but there aren’t really any spoilers or anything. There isn’t really anything to spoil anyways, although it may help to give a little context. Click here to play, or just click on the image below.

Look at all those pretty bullets

Basically, the game is about a Skeleton named Mr. Skeltal. The player’s goal is to kill people to free the skeletons who are inside of them using a multitude of various weaponry at the player’s disposal. The game features gunplay similar to that of Counter Strike, where shooting and movement decreases accuracy. There is also a randomized weapon drop system, where randomized weapons are dropped from crates.

Below is more information about what we feel we did right, what we did poorly, and how we can improve in the future.
