I liked it, but it was pretty difficult knocking the skeletons back into the grave while dodging arrows! Nice controls!

Very fun, would love to see some additional movement variations to make the game even more fun. Like a dash for example. Or different abilities.
i like it
Really neat! Thank you for not putting a paragraph of information in the "help" page, it's always nice when the game just flows nicely and is really intuitive. Cool pixel art, epic music, and an amazing concept. Well done :)
As has been said above, knocking the skeletons into the holes was maybe a bit too difficult, but the flow of the rest of the game was really good. And no disrespect to the actual game, but I especially loved the menu! Great way to introduce the core concepts.
Fun game. It was well polished, had music that fit the overall mood, and had nice sprite work. I like the innovation of pushing the skeletons into the hole instead of just outright killing them. Good job!
I thought the menu was really cool! The game was cool just not much variation to it. Overall it was fun though thank you!
Cool little idea! Found it pretty hard to get the skeletons pushed into the graves tho - but I think it's a cool mechanic.
Interesting game. I like the graphics a lot, and the game concept is interesting especially with how even the items bounce around when hit. Skeletons are a little hard to get into the graves though, maybe it would be easier if they suffered more knockback?
This was pretty fun i liked how all the zombies swarmed
Lots to like. Love the way the menu was done. Sound effects are well chosen. Lots of great animations. Gameplay is solid. I couldnt' figure out what the arrow powerup did.
I agree with the other comments that it's a bit difficult to actually clear the field, but this is a neat concept, and pretty fun/funny to play!
Good job! That's a really great mechanic! Becomes quite hard with all the dead zombies blocking very quickly
Thank you all for the feedback. This is my first jam and my third proper game. I made the game get quite difficult quickly as I wasn't sure how quickly people would get bored. I didn't want the skeletons to go into the holes too easily as I wanted the space to still run out, but I agree with the feedback, but I guess it's too late to change for compo. I've learned a lot and I hope to see you all next in the next ludum dare.
Nice game, fun arrow times. Other than it ramping up too quickly I found it good to play.
I really enjoy the gameplay, and held my own for a few... But I held down UP and LEFT-CLICK, and got stuck going UP perpetually.
Poor archer, he doesn't know than thrust damages are not efficient against ennemies that do not bleed.
Love the art =)
Pretty fun! Because i was playing on a laptop though, my mousepad was giving me troubles aiming when I pressed keys. I know, that's pretty hard cookie to combat.
Simple game with an interesting concept. I would have prefered if downed skeletons wouldn't rotate when moved as trying to get them into the graves was basically a suicide mission. Some more sound-effects, screenshake and changing the art on those UI elements so it compliments the style of the rest of the game should be a nice touch. With some polish this could actually be really fun, this has a lot of potential!
Had some fun circle strafing around and knocking the skeletons down. Thought it was funny that they would grow substantially when knocked out :shrug:. Had a bug a few times where one of my movement keys would disable for a few seconds before coming back (notably 'W'). Pretty fun tho! snip_20180813112016.png
Nice take on the theme.
Why do skeletons become huge when they fall over? LOL
I really liked your menu screen to game transition.
I would suggest adding power-ups to spice up gameplay
Nice game! Looking at the other comments, I don't think I need to tell you that it was a bit hard to clear the skeletons ahah. But I had fun, and it made me want to play a few times to get a higher score! Good game!
It sure was fun. Even though I sucked hard, haha! The idea is promising, maybe too hard (at least for noobs like myself). What I liked the most was the music, which gave me hope in my desperate dying. I've also encountered a bug, where at one moment my character was moving to the left as was shooting without me touching the keyboard. But that might have been just my PC problem. Overall cool game :)
Really neat take on the theme, and fun too! There were definitely some frantic moments. The only issue was that, for me, the dead skeletons were a little too tricky to push into the holes (I couldn't see a feasible way of doing so without dying). Great job!
Nice music, reasonably responsive controls, good sound effects, amusing take on the theme. Dead Skeletons could stand to be moved a little faster. I agree with the suggestion of power-ups, but such is the nature of a 48-hour event ;) I liked this one a lot.
Congrats on your first jam!
I got a score of 81 which probably isn't that good but what ever. It was pretty fun game with a very creative idea!.
Nice game, had fun playing!
Nice game! I really liked the idea, I also had the movement bug where I kept moving and shooting in a single direction and it wasn't registering my commands. All in all though seems really good :slight_smile:
Very nice, I love the style! Smooth play, not too hard neither easy, great pixel graphics!
