Great implementation of the theme and nice audio and graphics!

\n

Couldn’t give full marks on innovation though (floppy bird 3.0)

Tried the game! Well, I liked the game and, most importantly, the way you choose to add the dual purpose mechanic to shoot AND move upside. Unfortunately, this same control is hard to use intuitively, but I learned how to use it after a bit of tries. I saw the souls more like enemies instead collectibles. Try to evidence that more! Nice golden skull :3

Great interpretation of the theme, and a good twist on flappy bird. I love the graphics and the esthetics. The game became a lot easier once I knew I could pick up the souls. I was trying to avoid them at first. I had fun playing it. Good job.

Good audio, nice pixel graphics and animations, but we had too many Flappy Bird clones during 11 years of JS13K :(

“Flappy Skull Shoot em Up Soul Eater”, i think you created a new genre :)\nNice music, soundeffects, and graphics.

A very nostalgic flappy bird meets Halloween.

\n

Nice pixel graphics and music, and I liked the parallax scrolling.

\n

Found this game really hard, the slightest touch of anything and you die. I had to keep playing several times to last more than a couple of seconds.

\n

I found myself either trying to stay airborne or shoot, but only having one input to do both was very challenging.

\n

With monetization enabled I didn’t see the golden skull?

Flappy Skull! Very nice pixel art, sound level design.

\n

Hard to shoot and fly at the same time, separating the controls out would help.

\n

Highest score was 5, maybe an easier start would have helped, was tricky right away.

Nice graphics and little intro animation, fx is fine and good theme ambiance.\nGameplay is like a flappy bird, but not quite easy to control, it’s hard to get a really high score. As we can’t spent collected souls to get more lives or bonus, game is always hard.\nI found a little trick to win: as souls always come from bottom, and floor don’t kill us, the best is stay near floor and jump near graves ^^.

I liked the style of the graphics, the music and the idea of combining jump and shoot.

\n

The gameplay was a bit hard though (and very likely I also lack the skills needed), I had about a dozen runs before reaching 15 souls in a run. Reducing the hurtbox of the player and introducing the enemies more gradually might help with this, but hey, this year’s theme is death after all.

The game is well polished overall! Good job.

Ok, this looks fun, but i’m very bad at it :P Something about the single key controlling both the jumping and the shooting messes with my brain. It’s like flappy bird, but it shoots and there are moving obstacles. I really like this idea but I’m already really bad at flappy bird as it is.\nThe graphics look super nice and consistent and the animations are fluid. But I can’t help thinking that this needed some music!! You should definitively release a version with background music.\nGreat job.

I like the quirkiness of this arcadey high-score chasing game. Even though it’s simple, the graphics and sound design help motivate the player to keep going for a higher and higher score, and to keep trying for said high score.

I like the game’s mood and it’s dynamic. I can’t see any sign of the Web Monetization bonus. In the game description I can read about the golden skull, but it’s not there… I also can’t see any message that you’re detecting whether I am a Coil Subscriber or not… I feel like those are “must haves” in this category… And I love the game itself, yet I can’t evaluate WM implementation…
