Skelly's Skirmish
*NOTE* On some browsers there's a weird dithering pattern that breaks the 4 colour rule. The .love and win64 executable distributions don't share this problem
Help Skelly survive a spooky skirmish to collect precious pumpkins. Throw your bones at ghosts and zombies to stun them before delivering a decisive bonk on the head. But be careful, you can only throw two bones before having to retrieve them.
Features

This would have been one of my favorite games from the jam, if I hadn't somehow missed the chance to play it back then. Great game! It would be great to see more of this. <3
Thanks for the kind words. As usual I left designing levels to the eleventh hour and was really struggling to come up with good ideas in the later stages.
I do like the idea of revisiting this though, but taking more time to tune the mechanics/level design and potentially targetting the real hardware, possibly in a "DX" form. I'll have to see if I can get something working well and take it from there :)
