Bones 'n Roll by gerudoking

Skate your way to the Heaven of Rockstars to keep rock alive! Collect as many coins as you can while doing lit tricks, but don't forget to avoid the grumpy spirits of old ladies and the cops of hell!
Move the character with the arrows UP (↑) and DOWN (↓). Perform a manoeuvre with the SPACEBAR.
We are a team of 5 people who put a lot of effort and coolness into this game. Hope you enjoy!

A small update was made so the player goes back to the main menu 10 seconds after winning or dying.

a hard one also.
For some reason whenever I saw the old lady and a combination of certain houses in the background I felt I was in Bikini Bottom hahahah
Thought about porting this to android/appstore? It's quite addicting
I also agree that the stopping in tutorial for message display was a little jarring - perhaps just longer streaks of empty road before the obstacle to give the player time to read while still moving? I also had an issue where when I died I could continue to control the character for a bit after, resulting in repeated death animations and audio.
Overall, i love the vibe and the main character is a ton of fun to look at! ~✧✧
The audio balance is a bit off, which is unfortunate. The music track seems really great, but it's quite faint in comparison to some of the sound effects, which I think loses out on some potential. Seems like something that could easily be tuned, though :)
@billehbawb thanks! im glad we met your expectations!
@rooftopdog oh god! :laughing: as funny as it is, you're not the first to say that! hahah
@parahunter I'm not sure I got what you meant about the fork (I suppose you're talking about the red trident xD)? You mean you thought you'd die from hitting it?
@briibot @nathan-wiles thanks for the suggestion on the tutorial presentation, we'll keep an eye on that!
Graphics are awesome and the color scheme is great as well. I wish background music was more "rocky". Gameplay was fun and I liked observing the environment as I rolled by. It is a really polished experience and a great jam job! Thank you for posting the blog post today, or I would never find it!
It took a few tries but I finished it with non-stellar marks :wink:
