Punching skeletons? Say no more, I'm in - I hate those guys! The combat is a fun twist and I like the animations - make sure to nail the hitbox and timing of the animation cycle! The idea of picking up their skulls and flinging them, basketball-style into the hoop-like coffins is very funny. A skeleton sports game would go hard!

Thanks for submitting Coffin Commotion to the jam!

I made a video of your game. It is at the start of this video.

It's definitely challenging but it's really fun and super satisfying when you actually make the shot! I love games with unique but simple mechanics and this is a really nice mix of side scrolling beat 'em up and basketball. At first I thought the attack had way too much start up, but once I got the hang of it it became really fun to time the punch to clock the skeletons! Great marriage of the two genres and even though I wasn't very good of it I had a blast!
If it's helpful to you, here's a video of me playing:

It's hard to pick up the skulls when they're bouncing all over the place, but I still enjoyed beating this game. 

nice little arcade game, the punch are a little bit delayed, and i do understand why you have the font option, the left mouse button was a little bit hard to read. Fun little game, keep it up

Delay on the punch was really hard to get used to and I couldn't figure out the throw mechanic. Found out that I could pick up all 3 skulls at once though. Art and sound design was great! A little clean on the controls and it will be an amazing game!

This is a fun idea! The controls took some getting used to but the delay on the punch felt a lot like castlevania. Great work!

Fun game. Keep it up.

Thanks for the game! You can throw skulls directly to a coffin on the second level.

Pretty fun game! I do think the tutorial font should be changed though. Would you mind giving my game a rate? https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2024/rate/3054228

skeleton head soccer! Would be nice to have a different font for the tutorial text. It was really hard to read it on such small screen, or have it in the description as well.
