i am a bit salty that i expended one tenth of my mouse's total expected lifespan (probably) to commit to see what was the top of the ladder lol. but the forlorn western vibes were immaculate and the bone puns really tickled my funny bone.

It's about the journey not the destination (broken mouse)!!!

Nice Job! I love the atmosphere, and the voiceover really adds a lot

If Dhafo replies to this comment with a bone pun I will film myself drinking 4 litres of condensed milk and then embed the video into this comment.

I think I can speak for everyone, a video like that would be quite humerus!

i love this, the voice acting is great, and it's the perfect type of game to put it in, i feel like this could be made into a full game, a chill narrative clicker game

super funny,  good game

i do wonder what these pillars lead up to...

That was strange. No gameplay, just bones. I like it.

Loved this! You don't usually find a lot of narrative driven experiences in a jam. The dialogue and voice acting were amazing!

I don't know how you came up with this idea. Building a tower out of bones? Was it only for the pun? Well, I'm glad you did, because this was a unique experience.

Also: "I'm built to scale", he said the thing!

I want tibia honest, the idea came to me while we were listening to our friend's prototype song he cooked up for another idea we had for more of a horror game where your cat chases you around your hobbyist set (like a train set or 40k idk) after you shrank!

Very interesting and unique game, I enjoyed clicking at the bones :DD

Submitted(+1)

Really funny and silly, I liked the bone tower 

Submitted(+1)

I was built for this game. Kinda reminds me of "Getting Over It" in concept as an experience. The commentary and puns tickled my funny bone. The general aesthetic with the art and music is incredible, and clicking on the stair to build it is satisfying. Amazing job on this!

Developer

Thanks, Bone appetit!

cool concept, I really like the dialogue and the visuals

Submitted(+1)

Neat concept. I have arthritis now :)

Developer

Glad to see that you really felt something after playing our game!

My hand hurts.

Nice game! Really enjoyed the dialogue and chill music. My mouse took a bit of a beating, but I got to heaven! lol
