Not immediately clear how it works, but the moment you start playing it becomes apparent. Which is a pretty good trait in a game.
Really frustrating that you can't change your movement direction once selected, even if it's a super long time before it executes

I played your game I was TRASH at it, I couldn't even clear level 2 XD
loved the ghost sprites and other than my own inability to play it ran great!

breakNoUhhhGauntletthis is great. a ton of fun. the music is awesome as well. i'd love to pick your brain on how you handled some of the rhythm aspects of this.
also, the new addition of the ghosts jamming out is incredible. i found myself bopping with them XD

it came from the cave...Amazing concept and execution! Moving to the beat feels incredible, imma go check out 'crypt of the necrodancer' now x)
But seriously, feels great. The randomness adds excitement but also makes some levels waay easier, and some waaay harder, which sometimes feels unfair.
A cool addition would be a way to see where the funky ghosts are headed next, in order to make strategical decisions :)
(Only got to level 4 but I feel I'll be coming back to this)

it came from the cave...Thanks a lot ArtsyDoopsy. Nice idea about the ghosts. Please report back on your experience with Necrodancer. I haven’t played it but I did try Cadence of Hyrule and couldn’t get the hang of it at all.
I agree that the difficulty of a level often depends too much on where the bones generate. I have tentative plans to extend this game into something more fleshed out, with designed levels rather than the random generation here.
Well there you have me. The levels use a lot of controlled-randomness in the generation. If I had time for it I would have thought about making a proper level editor but you know how it is for jams. If I have time available before the new deadline, I may tweak the algorithm a bit to make the bones generate further from the entrance (too easy) or the exit (too hard).
ALMOST forgot to say: Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm happy you liked the game!
Wow, really cool idea and game! After a while you really get in the zone and you just want to keep going and get to the exit.
The music is great and you don't get sick of hearing it. And that's very good, because you really have to master the mechanics in order to advance.
Great job!

Sky Fendersnice game! It's pretty fun to play and it's pretty well made. But I think I found a bug, when I got to level 9 it froze and didn't start the level. It might be because I was not using headphones though :P
