• To start, the level variety was great. The skeleton models were a nice addition, and they fit the rest of the game well. I also loved the music used across the four levels. However, the skeletons, despite being the selling point of the game, felt like an afterthought. The parkour and Puzzle levels would have been unaffected if they were left out. For the parkour level, the routes were well designed. The difficulty ramp between the three was smooth as well. As for my issues, there is a noticeable delay in the jump button. I didn't realize it was happening until the blue route, when I was racing to make my jumps. For the puzzle level, I enjoyed the solution. This was the level where combat felt the easiest, and the only one where I can say I got every enemy out of the way. For my issues, the starting room was a bit big, which made running back and forth a bit tedious. I also found that I had to hold the escape button to pause the game. For the stealth level, I was unable to beat it. I tend to move very slowly/conservatively in stealth games. The skeletons moved faster than I would've liked. I did figure out their routes: I was able to identify at least three unique paths. However, there was almost no breathing room to move between them. If one got onto the path you were following you had no way to save yourself. I was also unable to beat the collectible level. This was the level where the camera became an issue, as I could not see the skeletons or most of the path I was walking. For some reason, this level also had infinitely spawning skeletons? I tried luring them all out of the maze, only to discover they kept coming from one particular spot. The concept was amazing. If I could change the camera to a top-down perspective, I think it would've been much easier. All in all, these are great ideas. With a bit more tweaking, they could go from a good game to a great game.
• I think this one was harder than intended. The addition of the 4 level types to pick from allowed a degree of customization to the player's taste. That said, it was not executed well. Minimal visual elements with minimal player feedback as things were happening. Mouse look would have helped the combat system feel more responsive, because the need to walk towards the enemy to attack pretty much guaranteed death. I'm also not sure what made it a "silly skeleton game". Needs work.
