My first ever game jam. Play as a skeleton fighting to win his skin back against the Grim Reaper himself!

I really love bossfight games, and this is a great one for beeing a jam entry. Some attacks could be a bit better telegraphed though. The fireball one especially lol. I also just generally love pico-8 entries (no bias here).

Really good game! I love the idea of making a pico-8 game! Well done!

The balancing here is particularly well-done, it felt hard without ever feeling unfair even though luck is heavily involved - I think I mainly "evaded" the mass nuke by virtue of not being where it hit in the first place.
Short but a lot of fun.

Very cool game, you took a simple concept and polished it really well. I don't think it fits the theme very well though, you don't really delay anything inevitable as you can escape death.

Nice boss design! Hellfire are small and fast, they kill me everytime. Does the boss have a second stage?

I love the boss sprite. It reminds me of the "just one boss" pico8 game.
