You're the king of the skeletons!

What better defense than your mighty bones? Settle bone turrets, bone walls and bone bombs; against the armies of the human king.

fun, got to wave 25. eventually it just becomes bomb spam while you wait for your actual defences to collapse.

Fun, but I lost my will this to play this real quick.

It is genius to have your attack, speed, body and resource be all the same thing. Till you reach a point the game just becomes spam your overstocked ammo till you can no more. Build walls, towers and landmines, but that original joy won't last any longer than your own supply of bones.

Graphics are pixel art with just enough of a spooky look to them. It takes a second to figure out the controls, especially when enemies are running at you. There is a high level of difficulty that really increases after level 10. There should be more types of turrets, a way to make the walls stronger, and a " bone chest " that allows you to earn bones faster.

If you need a beta tester for your next game, just let me know.

The weakness of walls combined with the slowness of movement means you will never have enough space to last longer than 30-40 waves.

32 waves of fun!
