    Skelattack is a great game that is just missing that last little bit of polish to make it an essential play. If you like games with heart, if you'll pardon the phrase, you're not going to go far wrong with Skelattack.

Before this can take place, the humans, who are after Immortality, attack Aftervale and capture the elder. Now you must go on a quest to save the elder and stop the oncoming invasion of the living. Skully and Imber have fun running dialogue throughout the game. The game itself is relatively short, leaving you unable to fully enjoy some of your final abilities. The art and animations are smooth, and cartooney, with a fun and almost cheery aesthetic. That being said, the gameplay isn't so cheery, as jumping feels heavy, and wall-jumping isn't easy, as the controls to do so, just don't feel right. You have to press the joystick left or right away from the wall to perform your wall jump, and this can prove extremely tricky when trying to time a jump off a wall-slide while dodging spikes. The game is loaded with checkpoints, which kind of dissolves the danger of dying, other than the fact that you lose a portion of your gems every time you die. They only stay there until your next death, so if you die again, they disappear. Skelattack is a fun and challenging platformer that may leave some players quite frustrated, but those who enjoy a good challenge will find this title may flesh out their library.… Full Review »
