Cool game, nice ideas. After game over i always got stuck and had to reload the game. Then i never got other limps or bones the arms. Also I didn't undestand when the death quen appears, sometimes two times one after another without a single fight, then there are five rounds fighting and no death queen. A bigger variety of attacks and enemies would give the game some extra chill.

I like the graphics and style. It was fun playing!

I pressed the 'any button' and nothing habbened :c I want to get off Mr Bones wild ride...
Kidding ofc, you have a really cool style for this game! I only managed to get right arm customizables for the MC, but it was still an awesome concept to have that. The pay the price mec fits perfectly as well. Slight bugs and imperfections aside, I really dig the game. Brought me back to playing the classic Simpsons arcade cabinet as a kid :)

Cool little game!

The art style is really good and your mechanics fit well into the theme.

So bad that you did not have time to make it a little more polished, graphics are awesome and the concept was pretty cool (but a little redundant right now) :)

Nice entry!

Submitted

It's been said already, but an easy way to make the game juicier would be to add screenshake and sound effects when you hit ennemies.  

Congrats for your entry though !

Great presentation and use of theme.

Wish you had more time to polish everything up a little, overall it was a very fun experience.

Awesome art style! I wish the game had some sfx for the combat and the combo system was a bit opaque without instructions. 

Submitted

a realy nice entry ! I love the idea !

I enjoyed the art, the music was strange (a bit discordant), but fit the theme.  I think this is the first time i've ever seen anybody attempt to make a side scrolling beat-em-up style game in a game jam - so that's really neat!  Shame you weren't able to finish in time.  The enemies reminded me of Salad Fingers a bit, haha.  I'd like to give this one another shot if you are able to polish and finish it.  :)

Thanks everyone for all the ratings and comments so far! I'm glad that people are liking the concept of the game, despite it being unfinished - game dev communities are definitely on the kind side. Time to play some more entries, I'm excited to see what everyone else has come up with!

I love the art of Mr.Bones.And It's very fresh to change body part to fight.But I found that enemies only drop right arms which is disappointing.And the trigger of dropping items also made me confused.It seems I have to stand below the sprite(to the shadow) to pick them up.Anyway It's fun to play!

Developer

Thanks for the review! And sorry, I agree with you that only dropping right arms is disappointing! It was purely a matter of time management, it took me more time than I expected to make the limbs work the way they do (the enemies and main character share the same body with different parts, they just have different controllers/tags/etc) - So I ended up not having enough time to create more content.

Anyway, thanks for playing!

Great aesthetics and sounds! Very nicely done.

Beat them all is making a come-back and I like it.

Upgrading limbs give a lot of possibilities for level design

Keep up, ’tis a good game!

I loved the idea and the art is wonderful, honestly it seems you just needed a more time to add more content and polish, if you ever plan on working on this game id love to play more of it!

Submitted(+1)

I actually thought of doing a game where the players body parts got damaged for magic and then he stole limbs from enemies. Couldnt do it so cool to see it done kinda!

I feel like attack sounds would improve the game a lot but overall pretty good game

Big fan of the game concept, swapping out parts for varied attacks. Combat feels good, though I occasionally swung in the wrong direction when comboing.
Pixel art is beautiful, and the animations are top notch.

Submitted(+1)

The concept of the game is very interesting, the pixel art effects are very nice! I think this game should have other levels, body parts to recover etc.. (I know time is short). 

Nice job anyway!

Love the concept for this game !
Looks like you ran out of time to finish it but the art is really gorgeous !
Good job :)

The pixel drawings are very nice overall. The concept of the game is very interesting and match the theme.

May be still unfinished yet, my character became invisible at some point and I could not do anything, then "game over" :/

Developer

Hi! Thank you so much for playing and also for the comment!

About the character becoming invisible, it's supposed to game over if you end up selling all of your limbs. However, it is very very possible that the game over screen due to selling yourself is bugged haha, it was one of the last things I implemented. Cheers!
