60 of 92 · most liked firstThe game is fun, but it's about double the price than it should be for what you get. Lacking achievements and I completed the game in just under 4 hours. Despite some other misleading reviews, this is nowhere near like a roguelike game. It's also not a Metroidvania game. It's a platforming game through and through. The story is relatively generic and predictable. There are a few "challenging" platforming sections, but given the proximity of the save points to those sections, they shouldn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this game is quality over quantity, something i respect, the price is truly ridiculous. I'm already on the final boss with 2.7 hours. It also tried to be hard, but isn't and ends up spamming obstacles in some places. Look at cuphead, hollow knight, and celeste. Cuphead is deserving of it's price, it's around 25 hours long (depending on how good you are) AND hand drawn. It was also made by a small studio, both hollow knight and celeste are 70-100 hours if you do all their content, all for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skelattack is a game I had a lot of fun with. The art and animation convey a wonderful world full of vibrant characters each with unique personalities. This is only backed up by its music. Skelattack has a jazzy(?) soundtrack that is full of charm. The gameplay, while difficult, is VERY fun once you master it, though I think the development team went a little overboard with the instadeath spikes. This is balanced out by the generous amount of checkpoints, but it doesn't stop you from getting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is good. It's fun and a tad challenging but I do have a few gripes about it. Don't let this deter you from buying it but do keep in mine a few things; first off its pause menu from the pause menu you cannot leave the game nor is there any way to tell when it's saved. The immortal coils(checkpoints) work as save points but a little reassurance would be nice, maybe a little skull in the bottom left? Something. Along with that the getting hit animation is very easy to look past it's a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A super challenging but incredibly fun platformer! The game has hand drawn visuals, amazing writing, the humorous banter between main characters Skully and Imber is really good! The gameplay is incredibly responsive and it just feels really good when jumping and dodging the various traps and enemies in the game and it's just tough enough that you want to keep coming back to try and get that perfect run! I can't recommend Skelattack enough, get it now!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →been waiting on this one for LONG TIME. Kinda forgot it was a thing. Anyways~ it's here now~ And somehow, published by KONAMI. I find that interesting. game is fun, the graphics are nice - the game IS locked to 35 fps, which is going to be make-it-or-break-it for some, it;s fine once you adjust to it, nothing you ain't used to if you play vanilla DOOM as much as I have. I gotta say, nice departure from the demo's story, I mean the old demo( not sure if it's changed now ) but in the old one, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty platformer with amazing graphics and animations, funny story and characters, and terrible controls. Unfortunately it's almost unplayable because of this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skelattack is an action platformer with a unique retro art style. The game's look, dialogue, music and charm all combines for a great atmosphere, although the controls could stand to be a bit tighter for the type of platforming and combat the came is going for. https://youtu.be/oPyjxzxiH5Y The movement doesn't feel as responsive as some of the pinpoint platforming would have you think it should, and combat can feel oddly delayed in response time occasionally. With that said, the generous…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not sure if this was developed by one person or not but it is GREAT. XD Gorgeous animations, fair difficulty, if you like colorful platformers BUY.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →although this is a short game, i highly suggest it if metroidvanias are your thing, its got style and difficulty, and a somewhat interesting story for the premise of the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game. I really do. The art is excellent, the sound is good (Not really any obnoxious noises), some of the mechanics are neat, the music is pretty decent, the story is kinda fun, and the characters are endearing enough. This should be a no brainer for a great combination to make an excellent game. Why is this review negative then? The absolute garbage movement and handling. "Sounds like a dumb thing to give a negative review on", well buckle up fabricated strawman I made up,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome artwork, tough platforming, and charming characters. This game is awesome and is a hidden gem for sure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Charming artstyle, but the controls are so damn clunky.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clunky and difficult to control. Requires minute precision but has badly defined hitboxes that makes it difficult to time your jumps especially when one touch means instant death. Music is repetitive, gameplay uninteresting, story virtually nonexistent. Stay away.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good action plat-former with a unique style of art. I did find the price point to be a bit high and the game is in no way a rage quitter! Personally I felt that the game could use some speech to text as it has loads of story and chit chat that make it feel more like a RPG. With all that said and done, the game is a great buy if you get it on special! Enjoy
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice game for its price. It could have been an hour or two longer though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✔️ The Good • Unique Visual Style: This game boasts a charming and unique art style that combines whimsical character designs with beautifully rendered, world environments. • Engaging Platforming Mechanics: The game features tight and responsive controls that make navigating through the dungeon levels both challenging and satisfying. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3239367830 ❌ The Bad • Short Length: Some players might find the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like Skelattack as the art style is right up my alley and the developers clearly seemed to have put a lot of work into that aspect of the game but unfortunately it's simply a very frustrating platformer that I can not recommend. The constant insta-deaths, finnicky platforming controls, monotonous soundtrack and clunky combat really tested my patience with its only saving grace being that you can finish it in a couple of hours. I doubt I would have finished it otherwise. I'm…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game stole my boyfriend I don’t know anything about games. But with how many hours he’s put into this, i figured I would take a look. If you like cute creatures in games, you’ll like the ones here. Mushrooms make great sound effects and are super fun to interact with. Lots of cool-looking plant art and level design is interesting. The music is great and adds intensity to different levels. Overall, the rooms are super fun and challenging, and some may be tricky but not impossible.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Who say's the main character can't already be dead!? A fantastic story of a skeleton protecting his undead home with an adorable bat. The dialogue and animation is fantastic for an indie game where most would expect pixel art. If you're looking for a good 6-8 hour game with a good story, this will be your fix. The only downside is that when you complete the game, that's it. You are unable to return to the rest of the game due to a soft lock.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Challenging Game! the story is adorable and you'll love it and hate it. But you wont stop playing! Def recommend!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game looks cute - and it is. This game looks fun - and it is. This game looks easy - HELL NO. I mean, enemies aren't that hard, it's the environment who kills you most of the time. If you will touch spikes etc. it's instant death so don't be surprised if you will die hundreds of times here. But no worries, there's a lot of saving spots so dying multiple times don't throw you back too far. It's just frustrating sometimes hahah I would recommend this game but on sale. The base price is too…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beat the game in 4 hours. Skipped a lot of text though. If you are looking for a platformer I feel the lore of the game comes across as more of a vice than virtue. Overall, I recommend this game for people starting out in the platformer genre as the challenges themselves are few and far between. I think old people would like this game (like grandmas or grandpas)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You are a Skeleton and your best friend is a BAT! Brilliant! End of review, right? Cute platformer - can get frustrating, but dying isn't many problems for the dead. Definitely worth the time to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeVOtGtROqg
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →9/10 Lazy review: this game is like a fantastic 1 night stand. It looks fantastic so you want to play. It’s fun! The music’s decent, but tbh you’re too distracted to notice it much anyways . After several hrs… that’s all you get. 🤷🏻♂️ Hopefully it was a good time and you can only hope for more in the future. 🤣 I think the creators achieved what they set out to do: create a classic platformer with a classic art design. It’s tricky/hard. You’ll die a lot. There’s no achievements. None of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite being a short game (3-4 hours) it has really nice controls for movement and combat. There isn't a lot of replayability here so if the price is too steep for you for the 3-4 hours of playtime you get, then wait for a sale, but is certainly worth checking out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was fine. Not good, not great, but fine. Cute artwork, okay gameplay if a little frustrating in a pointless way, without real consequences other than wasting your time. Predictable but amusing story, pretty short. I laughed a few times at the dialog. I wouldn't recommend it, but I also wouldn't discourage someone picking it up during a sale looking for a little time waster. If you're looking for something with replay value though this isn't it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i cannot reccommend this game unless its on sale i played it for 25 minutes and got to a rat king guy or whatever before i just couldnt push myself to play anymore... The game has a BEAUTIFUL hand drawn artstyle which i absoloutely love, i like the way the animation is done for moves like swimming, swinging sword, running, wall jumping, etc. movement-wise the game is pretty.. eh.. basically, you have a neat double jump, which i like, wall jumps are clunky cause its not based on jump input…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art, animation, and environments all look great! I'm a sucker for hand-drawn art. Unfortunately the level design and combat were pretty mundane. While everything looks great. It's not really backed up by interesting gameplay. You kind of floatily jump around on square platforms, and then spam the attack until whatever enemy is dead. Nothing every felt threatening, and therefore succeeding never felt very rewarding.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art style is really good, but I think some characters and environment is really bad and does not fit the overall good style of the game. The game seems not really polished at places. The combat is boring and too plain in my opinion. the hitboxes are terrible, I don't mind hard games but at some places it is just dumb that you die no matter what you can not even go near the spikes and still die. Oh and there is WAY too much dialogue. After the first couple of long dialogues I didn't even try…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So the game is ok. The gameplay is smooth and I like the way it looks. But it's too short for a $20 price tag. The cost does not equal the content. You'll beat the game pretty quickly and without achievements or different modes, there is really not reason to play it again. If this game was $10 I would give it a thumbs up.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, I was unsure at first to buy this game, however, I was surprised and happy that I did. It is a platform with a challenge and a damn hard one at that. The art is amazing, the story is cute, and the world is interesting with the nice little twist on the old idea that 'Skeletons are always the bad guys.' However, which is reversed in this game. The highlight of this game is the art and animations, they are fluid and well done giving an old Nickelodeon cartoon vibe, which I have never seen done…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has gotten a lot of hours from me; I originally got it for Switch before grabbing it on PC to try some speedruns. The freedom of movement is my favorite thing about the game, as you can often choose your path through a level, even avoiding what the devs intended entirely. For example there are sections where you need to be carried through deadly areas by your bat friend (with spikes covering the floors, walls and ceiling), but many of those sections can be done on foot if you're…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you see a trailer, what you see is what you get. You'll die a lot but save points are frequent. The game never gets frustrating, and you'll have to see the final act to know how high praise that actually is. I got this for under $5 and to my mind there is no excuse to not buy it for $5.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skelattack is a fun, funny, and beautiful game. The story is very nice and the dialogue between Skelly and his bat friend is hilarious. The game is short but it is a great pick on sale. One last thing, for those who aren't as good at platforming there are brutal sections that maybe too much for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great action platformer. Gorgeous art style, music, amusing dialogue, and some truly punishing platforming sections. Be prepared to DIE, A lot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent platformer which I can't recommend because of personal preferences. I would give it a neutral review if I could, some people might enjoy it.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dislike, that if you don't have enough Bone Broth, you stand NO chance against the final boss
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall: 8/10 If you like Metroidvania's then you'll like this game. I'd best describe it as a cross between Shovel Knight and Hollow Knight. You're given a vast world to explore and platform your way though along with enemies. Positives: The formula is implemented well, and has all of the supporting characteristics we like to see in these titles (e.g., world building and art direction). Negatives: The biggest negative is the price. It's not too bad, especially when on sale, but with just a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I almost quit the game within the first hour due to how they handle wall jumping and the sheer number of insta-death spikes; but once I got a handle of the controls it really didn't get in the way too much. One really annoying aspect of the game is that if you die on spikes you will lose some game currency that you can recollect if you make it back to that spot before dying, similar to Shovel Knight. The annoying issue here is that the dropped currency will be sitting practically on what…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is right in between recommend/don't recommend. Its a platformer that has a cool old-timey aesthetic in a similar vein to cuphead. The problem is in the design decisions. While the jumping is precise, the wall jumping/climbing aspect is horrible. You cant press jump to jump off a wall, instead for some reason you have to hold your directional button away fromt the wall and it jumps. This is unintuitive and finnicky, and add in the fact that the wall jump makes you jump not just across…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was such a disappointment. The game like many have said has a great aesthetic, but the controls a clunky and unresponsive which is bad when the game wants you to make precise jumps. I really hope they improve this game because I want to like it so much, but I can't recommend it in its current state. I feel like the devs wanted to make something with some difficulty, but failed to remember that even when something is difficult it shouldn't ever feel unfair because of the controls. I don't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Konami game in 2020!? Skelattack is an example of a game that I liked, but didn't love, yet I would still recommend it (if you are buying on a sale). I LOVE hand drawn graphics, and will buy just about any game that has that style of graphics. Skelattack is a charming 2D platformer, with some Metroidvania-lite elements. It suffers from some stiff combat and wall-climbing mechanics, and some of the animations are hit-and-miss (some look absolutely gorgeous, others look a bit rough). The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wasn't for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oqZ5vRv7kQ
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect at Steam Deck
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WARNING: YOU WANT TO STAY AND READ, ill keep it as short and to the point as possible 1-What a disappointng piece of sh*t (how did KONAMI green lit this crap?) 2- NOT A METROIDVANIA (main reason i bought this crap was that tag), its a precission platformer (genre i hate with VERY few exceptions) with bad platforming and unforgiving enviromental damage of which MOST is 1HKO 3-it takes a page from souls-like games in that you leave PART of your loot (so far crystals-currency) where you die, now…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that wants to be a precision platformer without the responsive controls or invincible dodge/dash of a precision platformer. I suppose you could compare it to Super Meat Boy except that you lose currency you need for upgrades every time you fail platforming sections multiple times in a row (which is super likely to happen due to the aforementioned unresponsive controls). I definitely suggest passing on this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hate the walljump and i don't think it is interesting. get my 3euro back, i can buy better game with that
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →1. Beautiful graphics.. no doubt. 2. You will die too much... Some are unfair deaths. 1 hit obstacle death are annoying. 3.its short 3 hour. 4. Overly high price for a 3 hour game... Should be highest 5 dollar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the ridiculous wall jumping is about as bad as the combat that feels like a checkbox ticked off. pretty visuals for a garbage game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So many things wrong with the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game. It's lovely and has a really cool art style. I felt like the premise was strong and it had great potential. But there are huge design flaws. And it's not bugs; it's the way that the controls were intentionally designed. The wall jump mechanic is super awkward and is a major part of the game, and would be SO much better if it was a normal wall jump that used the jump key to rebound instead of that weird 'left right left right' stuff. And the instant death spikes that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can I say about this game that hasn't already been posted by other people. Is it expensive for what you get? Yes - they definately didn't pick the right price point for this game, wait and get it onsale. Is the wall-jump mechanic really how people say it is? Yes - you wall jump, not by pressing the jump button, but by moving the analog stick in the direction away from the wall you are currently on. It is a weird way to do a wall jump, but you do get used it it throughout the game. Do they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved the game, cute art style and characters. Dialogue is amazing. Controls you get used to so unsure why others give off about them. Definately worth a try if you like platformer's especially on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 game would love to see a sequel
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very fun and challenging, and has a great story
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Skelattack is a fun and unique metroidvania game. It is unique in the way that I have never seen elements from super meat boy in a metroidvania before. This adds a whole new layer of difficulty and frustration. Game took me around 6 hours to beat so its a little on the short side but has a nice story and is fun to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's surprisingly good and charming, it has great characters and dialog with simple yet difficult platforming especially at the beginning and end! Also the Art style is great and the music is excelent. I do think it's just a bit pricey for 4 hours of gameplay and the constant 35 fps will strain your eyes a lot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game. It's a fun platformer with it's own unique artstyle. Plus I like how they actually gave the characters character. The friendship between Skully and Imber is adorable and Gub Gub's dialogue should be read in your closest Patrick Star impression for best results (lol). This game is not only fun with memorable characters but is also challenging. I can even recommend this game at full price as I've paid it and feel more than satisfied with my purchase. Give this game a try.…
