The idea fits theme well. I liked that the skeletons learn new tricks every few round while you get upgrades. It is a shame you have to restart whole game after losing. I didnt finish many levels because I ran out of patience. Otherwise really nice, especially if you did it all by yourself.

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the concept and the progression system. I apologize for the inconvenience of having to restart the game after losing, and I understand that it can be frustrating. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I got 37 imposters. It was surprisingly engaging for me. The shriek fits nicely with the atmosphere. I would love to see more “disguises” that have a tell that fits in such a way. Looking for naked people made me chuckle though. Did you use MonoGame framework for this?

I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed playing the game! Yes, I did use the MonoGame framework for this project. In addition to that, I also used Arch as the entity-component-system library (although I later found out that it doesn’t have Linux support - oops!). Finally, I used my own small library to tie everything together. If you’re interested, I have a link to the GitHub project on the game’s main site. Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

The idea of spotting skeletons hiding under human garments fits well with the jams theme. I love that I can get an upgrade after each round. Good job on the game, considering it was created just by one person

Felt a bit non-polished to me, but the idea is interesting.
Also, did you write your own engine for that?

Developer

I didn’t write my own engine, but I did end up writing a lot of unnecessary low-level code. While many things were unpolished, I’m curious to know specifically which parts felt unpolished to you. Would you be willing to share more details? Thank you for your feedback!
