Love the artwork in this one, the skelly pieces look charming. The game is quite cohesive in its art, audio, gameplay, and title of the game. Very polished. I feel like it isn't super on theme? Maybe you are collecting skeleton pieces? Overall though a great entry, good work!

Kamilah6 Oct 2025, 21:15

Wow this is such a fun game! The music is great, the art is fantastic, and there's lots of unique levels. Excellent job.

Fupi6 Oct 2025, 21:47

@gold-daniel When we started the idea was that the skeleton would start as just a head, collect more body parts and get more abilities. It ended up morphing into this puzzle platformer idea and while the influence of the theme is more subtle, we liked it way too much not to make it! The connection to the theme is that the pieces of the skeleton start scattered, and you need to collect them all in one place to win.

Great game! The polish and having those additional goals for the levels is amazing.

I wasn't too happy with the jumping mechanic and some of the leg levels felt a bit hard in an unfun way - maybe some of the plattforms could have a bit more lenient. I also didn't finish the last level, as one of my legs felt unto the blue button and it seems I hard to start all over again.

But as I previously said, overall this is a great game!

Fupi7 Oct 2025, 12:16

@le-don Thank you for playing! I wish the jumping mechanic had more air control too, but this was a bit difficult to do because of the kicking mechanic. I'll probably patch this after the rating period ends

DGo8 Oct 2025, 01:56

Great game! Love how polished this is, with animations between levels, objectives in each level, and a interesting premise. I always check out what you've done each jam @fupi and im never disappointed haha

Fupi8 Oct 2025, 03:28

@dgo OMG thank you very much!! :D Yeah I remember you! I'll be sure to check out your game as well!

Mascoll8 Oct 2025, 14:41

Amazing game!
Super well executed and polished!
Extremely clever game mechanics with the different parts!
Crazy impressive that you not only managed to pull off the look and (hilarious) sounds but also super competent puzzles and level design during the Jam!
Great work 5/5!

YibiRabbit0078 Oct 2025, 14:45

I came from the live stream! It's so unique. Idea full !!

Fupi8 Oct 2025, 14:56

@mascoll @yibirabbit007 Thank you guys so much for commenting and for all the support during the stream as well! ^D^ I will play you guys' game as soon as I have time!

Andreadbx8 Oct 2025, 17:04

Love the unique idea, you could do a lot of intresting interactions with this! As i said on stream, the later puzzles suffer a little bit because you spend a lot of time trying to execute the solution after you found it, but for the rest it's a really really good game design! Great Job!

Catusfelonyauthor8 Oct 2025, 17:07

@andreadbx Thank you again for playing our game!

naru8 Oct 2025, 17:15

The game is actually really awesome, I love the mechanics! Great work ^^

voxar8 Oct 2025, 17:35

This is amazing all the way from dancing buttons to headkicking puzzles. Well done!

l6ria8 Oct 2025, 18:43

It was very interesting, also i never seen this ideea to push diferents parts of body. I really like the graphics and also the music is so perfect ^^

EklBirifine8 Oct 2025, 18:44

it was super fun! felt like playing good old puzzle games on your phone:) mechanics are good

Catusfelonyauthor8 Oct 2025, 18:56

@eklbirifine Hehe, it's good we managed to evoke that feeling! As the game was starting to really come together I kept thinking that if this were a mobile game I played as a kid, I would've loved it. Thank you!

PaDo8 Oct 2025, 18:57

It's a very vibe and beautiful game. Respect is amazing for the music. But I'm not sure how much the piecemeal assembly of the skeleton fits the theme.

I would be glad if you could play our game.

MistaGiggles8 Oct 2025, 19:05

Excellent game, really interesting combination of mechanics and it makes for some great and interesting puzzles.
Very well polished as well, this could easily have been a steam nextfest demo that I would have wishlisted at the end!

Wouter528 Oct 2025, 19:17

I skedaddled so hard indeed!!! What a fun game, as usual! You have the ability to make pretty complex games feel very approachable and satisfying to play. Its polished at the point that I can see my own reflection in it. The graphics, the music, the soundeffects, the puzzles, the juice. Its all made to perfection and I envy that
How do you do that? Amazing.
Thank you for this wonderful entry :heart:

Edit: also wanted to point out that I enjoyed the puns as well :-)

Fupi8 Oct 2025, 19:39

@wouter52 Thank you so much Wouter!! I already have your game saved to play as well later this week! How I did that is actually pretty simple, I just had two amazing talented friends by my side that I meshed with really well

Pacelin8 Oct 2025, 19:42

Thanks for the gaming experience! In general, the game has potential. I didn't really like the fact that the difficulty of control increases significantly with each level. I would suggest some work on the controls (for example, adding the ability to switch to aiming mode when kicking). There's a feeling like in old games, as if they've chosen inspiration from older games. In fact, the game has the potential to become very cool if it continues to evolve!

javve8 Oct 2025, 19:56

Really nice gameplay. I had fun! ★★★★★

Fupi8 Oct 2025, 20:32

@pacelin Yes, I intend to add an aiming mode after the jam is over!

Wouter528 Oct 2025, 21:01

@fupi that's cool! A good team can really elevate the quality; for both the game and the weekend itself
No worries! We already got our 20 ratings (somehow haha), you can play ours when you've ready :-)

Eugenik9 Oct 2025, 05:04

nice visual.

ocwal9 Oct 2025, 13:24

Absoulutely skeledaddlicious! 🤩

Soleil9 Oct 2025, 13:52

Nice mechanics, and the difficulty is really well balanced! It’s quite a challenge to get every coin on each level. And I can’t imagine a better fit for the music, it’s perfect!

Re-Markable9 Oct 2025, 17:29

Really lovely game! Really creative way of turning the human skeleton into different characters with unique abilities! ALSO the bone sounds are EXCELLENT :ok_hand:

Little numbered icons above the limbs would be nice to easier swap between them. I also found the levels to become a tad tedious to complete. Often times it would be pretty quick to figure out what to do, but then "doing" the actual level was just a lot of slow walking from place to place. Maybe something that can be fixed, or maybe I just need to have a longer attention span hahahaha.

Great entry guys!

Fupi9 Oct 2025, 17:49

@re-markable Drat, we actually did plan to put number icons above the body parts, I even made the art for it! But in the end I completely forgot xD So sorry! Thank you for playing our game and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Re-Markable9 Oct 2025, 18:08

Ahhh the gamejam experience :joy:
Or having the art ready but the developers are crunching so hard there is no time to implement :skull:

Albinobat10 Oct 2025, 02:29

really loved this game! very reminiscent of the classic mobile game era with high energy ost and ui elements.

Some kind of sprint button would be a nice addition, as in certain levels, the slow speed of the skeleton parts made completing it a bit tedious. Other than that, it's a top tier entry!

Taximan98110 Oct 2025, 02:50

Love the idea, great progression of difficulty, only minor thing is it was tedious swapping between the body parts, an icon for number above each part would help with that. Otherwise, love the audio and graphics, great addition!

Sirplop10 Oct 2025, 03:31

A fun little puzzle game, enjoyable to play. Nice work, team!

BlueDingo10 Oct 2025, 04:16

extremly impressive, i do wish there was a way to quick cycle between the limbs rather than the numbers but its prolly better this way. Nothing else I can really say its really good

GreenPig10 Oct 2025, 09:21

This game is amazing, I was dying when I had to kick my head. Everything looks incredibly polished and well made. also the sounds, graphics and animation and really goofy, good job!

mahalis10 Oct 2025, 12:54

This is unbelievably good. Super novel and delightful mechanic, beyond-charming art (my skull’s wince as I kicked it was a nice touch), whimsical and engaging sound and music, clever puzzle design… just extraordinary. One of the most polished LD games I’ve ever seen. Bravo.

Kro10 Oct 2025, 19:22

To be honest, i just ragequitted when i realized that i shouldn't have kicked the head to the finish line on the last level.

My only gripes with this one that some of the kicks require quite strict precision (maybe skill issue tho), and it's easy to get lost among the limbs when there are multiple of the same type.

I lost a few times cuz i got used to the head keeping its inertia when you switch to it, while other limbs just lose all their speed.

Also, the last level was a chore, not gonna lie, but oh well, it's the last level after all.

But as everyone agrees here - the game is very polished and leaves only a good impression. Animations, cool take on the theme, progression, overall mood - it's a very solid game! Even the unique loading screen. Thank you for the game!

blobo10 Oct 2025, 19:45

Good lord the Ribble speedrun time with the coin is *brutal*.

Loved everything about this. I recorded myself playing to provide maximum feedback. Cheers!

Catusfelonyauthor10 Oct 2025, 20:21

@100th-coin Holy crap you really went for that 100% huh? :D Congrats!! I watched the whole thing and can definitely see the frustration well up on that last level, thanks for staying determined to see it through!

Fupi10 Oct 2025, 22:46

@100th-coin You were too kind at the end there! If I had gotten that final level playthrough I'd probably have gone insane. Thank you for still going through it, I loved your enthusiasm! As I said in your comments this video was really valuable, I have a much better idea now of what I need to fix and redesign for the post-jam, so thank you very much!

FIY for the last level you can just kick the skull all the way to the top with the leg, you don't need the dog. That's the faster way to do it! But you probably couldn't see that because of the bug that makes the arc shorter. Unfortunately that messed things up a lot.

Nomelu11 Oct 2025, 02:03

Very fitting thematically for this time of year. The menu and ui felt very polished and responsive. It was pretty hard to accurately kick the head sometimes, which felt a little frustrating at times when combined with the time element. "Down the scares" made me laugh. I wish there was a quick swap button to cycle through parts more easily. Overall a nicely polished little game :)

Fupi11 Oct 2025, 02:42

@nomelu Thanks for playing! You can just click on the body parts on the map to swap, it's faster than using the keyboard

Pete Valeo11 Oct 2025, 05:49

Incredibly charming entry! It's simple and easy to grasp premise, with great controls and pitch-perfect music and sound design. Perfect graphics for the vibe, a shocking variety of level design, and a genuinely engaging mechanic. One of the most well-rounded entries I've seen - great work!

Phobos11 Oct 2025, 11:50

Amazing game, love the concept and the goofy sound effect !

Wishes11 Oct 2025, 18:06

genuenly I loved it. it is really fun

Phoenix Fireflower12 Oct 2025, 14:12

Great puzzle game, I've managed to skedaddle every level, although the last one really made we wish the game had an "undo last action" button.

Surfa12 Oct 2025, 19:19

Great game felt very polished. Could be a little frustrating at points when you make a mistake and put yourself back like 3-4 mins. But overall super cool game and concept.

ryusui14 Oct 2025, 21:46

God, that final level. What a nightmare. XD I know how to solve it, but it's so time-consuming when you make a mistake ^_^;

Everything about this game is fantastic from top to bottom - feels like one of the classics I might've played on Kongregate back in the day. No way in hell am I trying for those time scores, though. XD The concept is brilliant, but I wish that aiming the kicks was a little less finicky!

Zathnic18 Oct 2025, 00:15

Lots of polish in every aspect, and I love how the different bones interact, it's funny and makes perfect sense! Overall feels like a very complete game, impressive for a jam

ShadowDoge18 Oct 2025, 15:59

I love the idea and the art style is cool. It is really fun to paly! ^^

APDT21 Oct 2025, 13:07

OMG!! How polished and entertained is this! The sounds are really top notch!

TheLastSlowpoke24 Oct 2025, 16:35

Oh wow, astoundingly perfect! I had a great time speedrunning the levels while humming the theme! (Still running in the back while I'm writing this, I love it! The xylophone tiptoeing around me in cirles is \chef's kiss*\* ^^)

Great idea for a game! And you made it absolutely gorgeous looking, amazing sounding, with fantastic level design, including the level progression, it plays really smoothly, and is polished and cohesive as heck. Had a lot of fun! Oh and yes...

:)

For me, level 7 was probably the most difficult to get thumbs. People seem to have trouble with level 14, but it was alright for me (wasn't too easy - felt like a final level, but wasn't too hard, I came up with a route and just did it, all the precise kicking is at the beginning anyways).

F1Krazy24 Oct 2025, 18:54

I'm really impressed at how polished and juicy this is for a Ludum Dare entry, as well as how many levels you were able to pack into it. Unfortunately, I struggled a *lot* at figuring out the ideal trajectories; it took me about fifty tries to beat Level 5, and I had to give up entirely on Level 7 because I just have absolutely no idea how you're supposed to get to that button. I think that's just a "me" problem, though, and my only complaint about it is that I wish I could have experienced all 14 levels.

Very well done! I'm sure this'll rank highly.

Fupi24 Oct 2025, 19:44

@f1krazy We are aware of a bug that makes the arc of the kick way shorter in some machines, probably due to refresh rates over 60hz. This probably messed you up! The arc is supposed to be long enough that you don't have to guess the trajectory, you can just look at it. In case you wanna try again, check if you can change your monitors refresh rate to 60hz, we're gonna fix this after the jam is over! Really sorry for this

TheLastSlowpoke25 Oct 2025, 04:42

@fupi

Oh, that makes a lot of sense that the arc length (and accuracy btw) is a bug :sweat_smile: It felt like kicking is a lot more difficult than the rest of the game ^^ Congrats on awesome results!

Wouter5226 Oct 2025, 07:35

Ooohh those are great results, congratz! 🥳

Fupi27 Oct 2025, 22:14

@wouter52 Thank you so much!! We're very happy as well! >w
