Really charming story. Loved the artstyle, wellmade narration and different movement mechanics, esspecialy the one where you crawl with hands. Good job!

Really nice game, love the narrator, and the concept. The momentum during the head part was very cool as well The arm part is very challenging. Well done!

I LOVED the voice acting, great job putting the game to life (or unlife?) with it! The different movement mechanics surprised me and the game was getting tougher and tougher, with spine movement being quite manageable, but hands reminding me of Getting Over It game :D My main feedback is the font of the texts - it was difficult to read, but fortunately not too much of a trouble with voice acting present, might be more accessible if made easier to glance through!

Took me some tries to get used to the movements(really appreciate the retry key :laughing: ), but once I did, the gameplay became so much fun! Love the art style and music too, and that warming little story is like the icing on the cake. Definitely among one of the most interesting games I played in this jam, great work.

great game, though parts of it was really difficult. the arm levels could use some sort of "cursor has reached the edge of the screen" logic because I would often find myself in a position where my cursor could not move any further and Kelly would just hover their hand barely above their skull... but that aside this was a really fun game :) this could for sure be expanded upon into a larger game.

t's incredible, but my game has almost the same concept of collecting skeleton bones. Take a look and be amazed by this coincidence.

Really clever use of story to keep the game fresh by introducing the different movements!

neat game, not common to see narration which is cool to see. art was also really good

Was not expecting a story and was very interested in it. I do like the variety in gameplay. Unfortunately the game kept closing the tab on the arms level and opening new tabs randomly so I was not able to beat that one, but I think I got towards the end of it. Wish I was able to finish as I expect there would have been another level with the whole skeleton. A downloadable version would have helped with that, but otherwise great entry

I was rather surprised with the gameplay change and the quality of level design!

After (a lot) of trials I did not manage to finish the level with arms. (I wish a small feedback to know if the hand well grab the platform)

But all I saw so far was really great entry. A lot of content for jam! Bonus point for voice acting !!!

Hi @aune, thanks for your kind comments, appreciate it! If you release the mouse button, Kelly should grab onto whatever she is currently touching with her hands (including platforms). You need to hold down the mouse button, move the hand onto the surface of the platform and then release the mouse button, to grab onto it. Hope that helps!

Wow, this game is really well made, one of my favorites for sure! The voice acting and writing were great, I also like how the mechanics got introduced and how they tied together with the story, really well done!

Nice game, beautiful graphics. Nice work.

rewzu 2025-10-22 18:26

Cute art style and neat music + effects. I think that the third movement type was quite innovative even though a bit frustrating at times. :D Not gonna lie I expected typical platformer movement after collecting the legs. The narration makes the game feel complete. Good job! :D

Love the storybook vibe and the changing of movement mechanics when gaining new body parts is so fun! The voice acting and presentation makes the whole thing feel really polished. Great work!

milestone-games 2025-10-23 01:17

What a nice game! Great to hear some voice over narrative as well!

paul-merkamp 2025-10-23 02:25

This game's really sweet. I was worried it was about to be a slog when I got to the hands part, and then I became Spiderman and was moving super fast.

I'm really impressed by the pacing, it's a really nice, short, well-contained package of a game. Really good job to everyone who worked on this.

I love this narrator! There's a kind of absurd humor in collecting your own bones. This game makes me feel like Halloween's coming.

fireslash 2025-10-23 05:13

Wow this is lovely! And in season now too.

Love the voice work, the evolving gameplay (Though the vertical crusher in the spine stage made me rage), and the overall look, feel, and mood.

Physics felt a bit wonky at times; felt like I'd gain or lose momentum when jumping sometimes, but I can't put my finger on it. I eventually got used to it.

Great work!

This is so adorable! I like this narrative style. It's very suitable for the Halloween game!

chuchugeralt 2025-10-23 13:13

A really polished game! I particularly liked the narration—it had a great feel, almost like a blend of Thomas Was Alone and The Stanley Parable. The different mechanics were nice and very well implemented. The art style was also really cute. Overall, a great game!

mushlord 2025-10-23 16:46

i love this game, this is very good for three days. Thanks for great job. COOOL SKELETON!!

concaerus 2025-10-23 16:52

This game is amazing! I love the changing gameplay mechanics, and the level design keeps the game interesting! The narrator and the creatures you meet along the way really adds charm! Overall, a really great entry!

oooh narration, nice. lovely art, music and vibe too, definitely a nice fit for a story telling game. really liked mixing up the controls too, could have a bit of that metroidvania style map discovery if it was one level.
