How does your game fit the theme?
You build a REALLY large ladder to "scale" up to heaven! Also the voice actor said the thing!

This is a funny concept xD The dialogue from the skeleton was entertaining.
I don't have a bone to pick for this one. Good work.
This is just so funny, i wish i did more voicelines in my game.
Well done ! Keep it up !
noice
Great game ! Quite unique in its concept,liked it :)
Cool game! It has nice music and graphics. Good job!
i did it... but at what cost?
(spoiler: some mice may or may not have been hurt)
That was interesting! No idea who your voice actor is, but they need a raise!
If I could nitpick it would be to get at least something at the end, being a voice line or a revelation to regard the player.
The writing was funny and charming. Thanks for working on this!
Nice game. The gameplay was a little one-note, but I enjoyed the visuals and atmosphere. Adding some auto-clicking skeletons would be awesome! Keep it up!
I actually thought about adding some friends but I didn't want it to be too like a normal clicker game, where you are just ravenously trying to make the number go up! I thought that by being by yourself and slowly building the ladder, it kind of adds to the mood.
That makes sense, I think it does add to the mood but I am still curious how you could expand the experience.
I definitely also got hand cramp but it was a nice experience! Nice music and an interesting vibe that would be cool to see fleshed out as an actual game with more mechanics. Always here for bone puns tho
Oh god the puns.
Setting that aside, I find the concept extremely compelling, and the 3D graphics in a 2D space work fairly well. One thing that might help make the depth effect even more polished would be to darken or fog the background as it gets further away.
You also might want to have an alternative input method for accessibility. I wasn't able to get to the end, because the repetitive clicking started hurting my hand. For some people, it might be fully unplayable. The scroll wheel with automatic growth of the ladder could be an option for that.
Wow yeah, I think the alternative input would have been a great idea. Even to just slow people down a bit who seem to have been trying to speed-run the game and hurting themselves!
I am a master clicker now!
Thank goodness for the progress bar, haha! Fun little game, building the ladder is surprisingly satisfying for how simple it is.
Be sure to check mine:)
Another 3d masterpiece, the concept of scaling upto the heaven is just mind-blowing
Music was lovely, and the puns made me click through all the way to the end! Pelvis!
And you can probably tell from our submission... Big fan of a punny name!
Those bone puns were more enjoyable than the game itself. Thanks for giving me good laughs. Remember to drink your milk guys. Maybe your bones will be useful to some dude in the afterlife
Yes, please drink your milk! Together, we can reach heaven!
Im a cool skeleton
on a cool bone motorcyclein the cool bone world with cool skeleton ladder.Nice expirience, voice lines in manner of shooters from 90s-00s and progress bar at the top of the screen was really good idea.
Nice game
What a pleasant break from all the other fast-paced games, I enjoyed this a lot. If I had to add anything, maybe the skeleton could show up in different poses climbing the ladder as you scroll up? That would be funny
yeaaah, we really wanted to add more gags before we had to scale down things due to time!
