Dogtor Jones and the Holy Bone

Very very nice entry! Loved how he would just pop up from the side when you get it wrong. Adds some nice humor to this game. The gameplay was nice, especially how you had to contemplate getting treasure vs getting out of danger in time. Music and audio were very fitting and well done. I encountered one bug where I accidentally used a time slowdown right before the stage ended and the first walls on the next stage wouldn't close until I used another one. Other than that, I had a great time with this :D

Very cool concept and well executed! That's a lot of levels to string together.

Made it to level 4, very cool idea and fits the theme well, but I was a little bit confused on my first playthrough as I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. The game made more sense once the treasures spawned and pressing S/Down actually did something. Maybe some audio queues or sfx would be great

It's simple, fun, and pretty addicting. There's quite a bit of levels too. The animations are nice and full of personality. The game's pretty good

Nice one, well polished visuals and animations. Made it to level 7, I guess I should have used the slowdowns a bit more and not get so greedy with the treasures :laughing:

Wow! Very nice game :D, the thumbnail caught my eye, it was very nice, and the game itself was also good :D, got to level nine and played a little bit in freeplay, and i must say, quite challenging at times, though i did have about 3 slowdowns left at the end, so maybe it would be a good idea to reward players that didnt use their time slowdowns with a bigger score perhaps? I loved the details in the animation, for example the way jones tries to push into walls when hes inside, or when he "dies" he just looks out from behind the rocks and continues exploring. very good game, liked everything about it, keep making more!

Cute artwork, and fun gameplay, although it was getting a bit samey after few minutes. There are some bugs as well - I lost 2 lives even though I was standing in the correct place. Had a lot of fun with this. And the title is pretty funny :)

Cool idea and nice graphics, although I wish the downtime between levels was a bit shorter. I got to level 25 before losing my first life.

This is a very addictive game, love it.

I also was damaged when standing in the only empty square

But apart from this, game is very well made

Pretty cool! Reminds me of something you might find in in a WarioWare game. Had a bug where using a slowdown near the end of a level caused the next level to never smash the walls together, but it fixed itself after refreshing and continuing.

Good fit with the theme. Nice artwork and sound. More spikes and skulls please.

what a cute game! the concept is fun and engaging, the music adds a lot and the animations are neat. i would love to see more of the treasure looting mechanic! made it to level 5 with a score of 54. that got really challenging really fast :D

Very good game ! you got me i lost a life because of those juicy chest .

vincent7 2023-10-03 21:41

Nice concept! Very much in line with the theme. The game feels pretty solid overall. Also loved the way the character comes from behind the wall when taking a hit

denzel 2023-10-03 21:47

Really nice! i like the animation when you get it wrong and how he does reaper from behind the pieces!

Who knew something so simple could be packed with such a punch of fun? 👊 'Dogtor Jones and the Holy Bone' had me grinning from ear to ear with its title alone! 😆 And the gameplay? Equally delightful. The graphics radiate charm, and the music? Spot on for setting the mood. It's evident that every detail, from the playful name to the joyful gameplay, was crafted with a lot of love and creativity

Nice game, I got stuck in the running animations once, couseing me to get hit. Otherwise pretty well made.

hagamosvideojuegos 2023-10-04 10:46

Nice game, I like the animations a lot, specially the detail when you "push a wall" , maybe less waiting time between walls move can be more dynamic, but I like the game, it's funny!

Well done! Take a candy! :candy:

Fun game and good music! I wish it got harder a bit faster though 😁

rickylee 2023-10-09 23:50

@rickylee Good job getting to level 6! This time friends were doing all the art, a decent part of coding, SFX and juice! ...I should probably write friends' roles in the description...

Nice game, kinda repetitive with only finding safe spot most of the time. it would be better if chests, vases and skeletons are dropped very early to give extra challenge to player how to get them and to get to safety spot.

deadjolly 2023-10-13 03:14

The rock sound effects were really done in conveying the cave pieces smashing together! Fairly simple mechanics wise, but still fun. I liked how Dogtor Jones squeezed into a new spot if you messed up (provided you still had lives). Maybe some sort of power-up to clear a spot to get out of a jam would be handy? Or if you run horizontally as the cave chomps down around you to add a bit more variety? Good job on the entry!

skosnowich 2023-10-13 07:49

Really nice idea and execution. I liked that you had to choose if you go for more treasures or for the safety - of course I mostly chose the treasures and died a lot. :smile: My tactic was to go to the middle of the room each time - because of that it made me a little bit restless that there was no real middle, because there is an even number of tiles. :sweat_smile: Also nice that you could just continue even if you lost all your lifes

itsboats 2023-10-17 07:30

pretty simple gameplay, but done very well! I like the risk reward aspect of it, really puts me in my place when it spawns 3 treasures and i try going for all of them like the greedy gobbo i am
