Rise! shows you the ugly truth about necromancy. You might have seen a grizzly hand pop up from a grave, but what happens before that?
\nUse arrow keys, j/k, or screen edges to steer, and watch out for rats!

Great :-D\nThe game could use a bit more variations (not only rats, other collectibles than bones, maybe something to defeat a rat, etc.) and some audio (music /soundeffects) would be nice.\nThe graphics are really nice.

Made me want more, would have been great to have 2 or 3 more levels on the surface. I like the style and the design. Seems the beginning of a great game

I audibly laughed at the ending.\nLore-wise, I’m not sure why humans would be buried miles underground, but I digress.\nThe controls are simple and responsive, and I really like the aesthetics and the digging animations, and the cinematic cuts are really nice - although I wish I could skip them :)).\nHowever, the blur effect of the game was messing with my head.\nThis game would be amazing with a few simple sound effects.

\nFeels more suited to mobile than desktop, which is where I played.
\nGoodness, when you get a full skeleton it does go quite fast. It’s hard to avoid the rats.
\nI always seemed to disappoint the master, maybe my reactions weren’t as sharp as I needed to be.
\nDidn’t want to be forced to full screen when I clicked anywhere, perhaps a dedicated full screen button would be better.

We should have evolving background depending of the distance and some FX sounds (a machiavelic laugh during cinematic! :p )

My son that does some speed runs really liked it.\nThe game was very focused, without some bloated unneeded elements that would just blur the experience.
\nIt’s a good idea that the game scales with you, fail will get it slower (easier), but you want to go as fast as possible because it’s a race.
\nObviously, there could be more types of items to gather, complicating the gameplay.\nIn the same way, there could be more types of monsters or even better some ground gameplay (jump ramp, wall, tunnel)
\nOne interesting idea would be to prebuild some monster patterns and then glue them randomly. This could achieve more interesting tactics play from the player, especially when they start recognizing some patterns.
\nPersonally, I would prefer it to be a bit slower, but more tactical. It seems now it’s quite easy to get near perfect run. Making the game harder (but fair!), would get to the players that would like to improve. It would keep their interest for longer.
\nOverall I really, really liked it.

Overall, this is a really cool game, mechanic of building skeleton with bones is very nice, the only downside that I see is that the game is very short, I completed it in less than 2 minutes so I would love to see it in some expanded version, maybe with some more missions from the necromancer because I really enjoyed it.
\nGreat work on this one, hope to see more of your games in future!
