Very cool! This is a game I would definitely play again if it was polished up a bit. The controls were tough and I kept getting stuck on walls, but the concept was great!

This was SO fun. Music was a bit repetitive but a seriously fun mechanic more than made up for that. I loved the little combos you could do, that really added that extra level of fun :)

Very well developed, polished, fitting sounds and interesting, satisfying gameplay. I love the walking sound the most.

Really great gameplay! It is giving me flashbacks to the "You only get one" theme. The controls were spot on, and the messages when you combo/catch/bounce really added a good feel.

Really fun, a bit challenging, and actually has potential for a bigger game.

Animation of skeleton walking and the sound it made was hilarious.

Great Game!

The third level got so difficult I couldn't get past it. Other than that, this was actually pretty solid one!

Why does everybody make Installers from simple Game Maker games? I don't get it, a simple standalone-exe would've been peachy! Anyways:

The idea of using your head (literally) is very interesting and the puzzles and gameplay challenges emerging from that feel fresh. I only made it until level 4, that's where I had to give up because once your head is too far ahead (haha!), I pretty much had to commit suicide. 8-bit graphics and sound are nice, the animations also work very well at for once I am happy with the controls (space is jump, that's how it always should be!)

A winner is me!

Hey, great job. I can't find anything to complain about. This is a solid entry with nice retro graphics, I love the use of your head as a weapon. There's a bit of a Cave Story feel to the character design and the soundtrack. The boss makes you bring your "A" game without feeling overpowered. Very cool. Keep up the good work!

Did I make it an installer? Oops, that was purely by mistake.

I loved this game. Love your version of the theme and I could NOT stop playing it, even though I had my finger on the X button a few times during level 3.

Nice graphics and catchy tune! Using your own skull as a weapon is a pretty cool idea and the bouncing counter was a really nice feature. I like it! Good job!

Controls where pretty bad but the graphics where nice game play was extremely fun. I loved finding ways to rack up massive combos.

Clever concept, fun but a bit difficult. I could be wrong but sometimes it seems like I'm dying without actually being hit. Maybe the hitbox is a bit off? Great job overall!
