Hey, nice! I enjoyed it! Wanted to look at the Source, but the link is the game itself.
What Engine did you use?
Or did you write from scratch?

Ah, the gmk-file is the source! Sorry 'bout that, just assumed it is data.

Man, this is hard as hell. It's way too easy for the enemies to chain hits and kill you very fast; maybe a second or two of invincibility after a hit would help?

Cool idea for the mechanics though, and excellent pixel art!

Very cool idea and I really like the graphics. At first I didn't quite get what was going on. But after throwing a spirit at one of the skellies, I understood. Then I started coming up with different strategies to killing them and hording their souls. Building spirit walls/barriers and harvesting the souls after they build up enough around the tombstones. Calling them out of the graves and leading them into a collision of doom. Got 99. Really cool game. Once you have a solid strategy going, you got this one. Thanks for making this game. One of my favorites this LDJAM!

The skeletons seem to get stuck quite often. The knockback on hit also led to some frustration. Cool aesthetic though.
