Community Insight:
This game is so much fun we love the soundtrack especially Fire and we love the characters and the graphics, pretty much what we are saying is that we love everything about this game!! Thank you so much for this game. Ive been trying to find a fun game and we are so lucky we found Skeletomb.
Very entertaining game, though not a lot of content. Has potential for updates.
If you live games that will always be the same great gameplay while exploring new 8-bit worlds and a mega cool soundtrack, then this is your game! It's fantastic.
If you add bosses that will be AMAZING.
The game overall is made very well, and while the controls are annoying, there's an option to change them. The only complaint we have about this is the repetition. After playing for a while it becomes boring, as aren't many different zones. If they add a boss or something it would be a ten out of ten for us.
Great on our iPad mini 2 though.
But we literally died like ten times trying to kill a monster in the tutorial. It wouldn't pick up what we were trying to do. Also the movement still is really annoying.
This game is so much fun! We started playing about a week ago and have been addicted ever since. The only thing we would ask is that you keep adding content to the game. More characters, more worlds and maybe different animations for each character.
The pixelated style is charming and the array of play styles and possible worlds make this game lots of fun to play. This game deserves a lot more attention than it's getting.
This is more fun than most games similar in design. It has some elements similar to crossy road, but it makes its own name. The labyrinth mode is great but im still trying to get the hang of adventure. Endless is really cool. Easy controls, fun time, nice graphics, great game.
It's not bogged down by ads or junky in-app purchases. Very fun.
This game is a mix of zelda, Crossy Roads, and a dungeon generator. Need we say More? Is GOOOOOOOD.
This game is simply wonderful. It's simple, easy to play, but it never gets boring. There is a lot to do, and we think this game deserves a lot more recognition.
We agree with punk they are yes Also please release OST it's so good.
We don't know why this game isn't more famous.
We had played so many roguelike games like pixel dungeon, knights and paper, etc. This game is the best of these.
Long slow maze didn't leave a good first impression.
This roguelike du jour triggers a game center notification that can't be turned off. Not very punk; more like corporate synergy. Deleted.
We were going to make bone jokes, till we played this game and it gave us the greatest bone joke of all, bone marrow cancer. We are now dying of laughter and and physically dying because of this game. Not only that, it managed to bring back Osama and basically 9/11'd our whole day. We hope this game creator believes he did good, because we would rate this game… BEST GAME 10 Hitlers out of 10 Hitlers, would get cancer again.
Very fun, and we like how you have Squirm in there as a hero.
We've been playing rogue likes for years, and although there are some pretty good ones on the App Store this one in the best in terms of price, simplicity, and their business model. This is an arcade rogue like instead of an in depth one. (No items at all, enemies die in one hit, very simple yet addictive.) The game is free with nothing that needs to be purchased. Want more characters? Just watch an ad! Don't worry about your gameplay being interrupted by ads; the option to watch them is always there if you want to support the developers. Graphics are nice if you care about that kind of thing. The controls are perfect, and if you don't like them you can change them. There are quite a few different control options.
The potential of this game makes it, by far, our favorite game on any touch device. We love procedural generation and we love random mazes. We're surprised that it's free. It is so amazing. It's smooth, the controls are tight, and the art is lovely. We are a huge fan. Of course, the combat mechanic is pretty simplistic, the Roguelike structure is missing the element of choice: one direction to go; one attack move. Other than that, it's a lovely game. Props to the creator. :).
Great game! Wonderful controls, retro graphics, and a soothing soundtrack.
It's a very enjoyable game, however the movement is still a little funky, but we highly suggest it.
We almost spleeted or skooged wen we first played this game. The graphics and art sty are beautiful and the soundtrack is amazing.
The attacking enemies are annoying but other than that it's great.
This game is so nice! V cute, good graphics, easy maneuverability and combat. Our only complaint is that we have no idea how to get more characters. Am we indefinitely stuck as bjorn or something? We need an explanation.
The devs fixed the controls! Thanks so much! Feels much more playable with a d pad now. Great fun.
Ok, so the new update added a D-Pad…a strange, weird D-Pad, but a functional D-Pad nonetheless, so we might have a chance to get past the first few levels now. The lack of a D-Pad was the only thing holding us back from getting into this game, but now we can dive right in. Thanks devs.
Its a cool concept, but the lame combat kills it. Plus you can't read signs and have no idea what is going on. We were stuck for the longest time because we couldn't figure out you could smash the spike thrower thingys.
This doesnt even load in, just gives us the weird pink startup screen then crashes.
Check points.where are they?that is all.
Great little game!! Cute graphics and we love the music. Our kids enjoy this game as well. A great new arcade game.
What are the coins for. Like we get so many coins but in the end it doesn't matter cuz u can't buy characters, but if u can't buy anything what r they for? Help.
This game has some of the best controls to play and we like that you can decorate your guy and get guys by in endless game to get the best high score and keep up the good work so we can play your games forever.
We love this game, especially the graphic. Just so right at our favorite one.
Totally great, that is our first look on this game. Awesome graphic along with most interesting game play. So great.
We love this game, it reminds us of the ones we played when we were a little kid. Graphics are top notch.
Nice old style retro arcade game. So far we have been enjoying this game and we would like to recommend people to download this game.
This game is very original and has great adventures and graphics, plus you can customize the character and the music is excellent, and has very good control.
This great game has very beautiful graphics, plus the characters and scenarios, has many options for customizing the character, and the music is great.
This game is fun and great graphics retro style, the music is very original and can update and improve the character.
Grands options and has very good graphics besides being a good adventure game and to improve the character, besides being able to play with a gamepad, we like.
This is a great game with cute graphics and a lovely storyline with good controls you just can't stop playing, this game is very addicting and challenging.
Addictive gameplay, charming art style, and amazing music! What more could you ask for.
While we're not really a huge fan of Crossy Road – or the various clones that have popped up since it's inception – Skeletomb has us hooked. We don't know what it is about the game, as it is essentially a fantasy skinned Crossy Road, with attack mechanics. We guess that's all it took… But this game is awesome. Far better than we ever thought it would be.
We love the pixels graphic, and this game is also good about it. Game mode is a little simple and repeat. However still a good one for this Halloween season :).
A nice retro game with interesting graphics and easy controls. We managed to beat it in no time.
The controls are really difficult to use and the options you can choose from are confusing. There need to be separate attack and move buttons. We love the graphics and the music though.
This is a great adventure crossy road clone, but the controls have killed us several times. From swiping the way we didn't swipe ,to being confused by moving by tapping, also the one desert bush. Since if turned, it takes 2 taps to move forward, we were confused and fell to our death. Sometimes when passing the ballista it made us go to the side and we would die. And the first time we saw the desert bush we thought we could walk into it. We lost 2 hearts. Then we got the idea that we could probably destroy it and we died. If the developers are reading this, you need to do something for different control options, and not those tap styles. They aren't good.
