Interesting game, quite a simple premise, but interesting nevertheless. Funny voice acting and great visuals, it feels quite... I wouldnt say slapstick, but a skeleton building a ladder out of bones is pretty metal. The music was great, i like how it only kicks in after a bit and doesnt start immediately

Oh my god, this game was so fun! The artwork was awesome, the voice lines were hilarious and made clicking not boring and simply just enjoyable. I think this would be a fun mobile clicker game like the capitalist lemonade stand game (or whatever its called). I would totally play a game like it. Great game!!

Thanks for the game, I had a good time! Simple concise idea, funny humor and cool style. If you put a button and a counter somewhere, there will be people who will spend a lot of time on it, just for fun.

Simple but very polished.  This sort of folksy-inflected imagining of hell is pretty neat; not quite the same as anything I've seen before, but it definitely feels fitting and not totally out of left field either.  As a fan of the "limited visual elements augmenting text" approach, I can see the bones (sorry) of a more game-y game here; introduce some choices into the dialogue, and a suitable twist ending, and you've got something very intriguing.  As is, it's still an interesting experience and I definitely felt a sense of anticipation and mystery as I reached the top, even if it was ultimately a bit underwhelming.   I'm curious what you originally had in mind for if you'd had more time!

Such a great song for a nice little game. Nice vibes.
