June 2, 2020
A bell begins ringing incessantly in your quarters. A frantic friend paces nervously as you awaken from your undead slumber. He warns you of invading humans! It is up to you to heed his words, arm yourself for battle, and venture out into your unprotected underground home. You are Skully, an undead skeleton whose sole purpose is to protect the dungeon he and many others call home. Along with your bat companion Imber, you will travel through sewers, lush underground nature preserves, and many other perilous environments. You will do so in the name of protecting your friends, guarding your treasures, and keeping hidden the dungeon's deepest secrets. Skelattack puts an unconventional twist on your classic dungeon-crawler. Instead of playing the human hero fighting his way through the dungeon, killing all the baddies and pillaging all the loot, you play as one of the dungeon's typical skeleton NPCs. This is life (or rather, death) on the other side of the aisle: the plight of the creatures whose home is constantly under threat from those who reside above-ground.

Enter into a world thick with bubbling psychedelia, swelling with an endless population of misshapen and malformed enemies. Disrupt your psychic architecture and be absorbed into the world, teeming with multiple pathways, luminous levels, and complex obstacles. Our hero Spinch can dash, dodge, jump off walls, and shoot his own children as ammunition. Platform your way through side-scrolling levels collecting items to give you the upperhand while searching for your missing babies. Be on the lookout for your cousin - he's babysitting some of your baby cousins, but he's a little weird. Bringing back old school difficulty, Spinch will have you replaying sections until you master your timing and reflexes. The ramping difficulty will see Spinch swim through experiment water tanks, chased by hordes of weird creatures, and traverse backward and inverted environments. With only a ticking clock and quick restarts - no lives or game overs here - the game is welcoming to players of all experiences, but a formidable challenge to a speedrunner.
