amazing concept!  i liked buying coins and the defeated enemy animation!  and also...  when it said verifying purchase...  i wasn't actually charged right?  jk i know i wasn't.  fun game!

would you like to try my game?

Needing to buy coins as a skeleton is beating you to death is pretty funny. Liked the art style and the combat. I noticed a lot of issues with the UI though. Overall good job!

I love the polished feel of this game overall. This game actually has potential to be awesome with a bit of tweaking wtih the mechanics. Great job!

it's a bit buggy and floaty, but a very fun idea :) The 'in app purchase' screen takes a bit too long I think.

Developer

Thanks! the in app purchase is my intentional design to annoy the player so I guess it did work

Really cool concept, I enjoyed playing a lot more than I expected. At first i got so annoyed constantly dying to skelly on the first stage before i realized i could stun him off my own attacks. I was trying to play so strategically and the popup kept getting me hammered haha. But it was satisfying pushing through. ( Definitely abused the coin menu though because I mean if its there im taking advantage >:D)

glad you enjoyed it! popup is intentionally done so player needs to plan their move, coin menu can be abused but it will reflect on your summary when game ends. See if you can beat the game with ingame purchase as low as possible!

Ah geeze, I sure hope this doesn't end up being the worst completion screen shot posted. Got me at the end. 

It was pretty funny being stuck on a pillar trying to buy more actions and a skelly is just laying into me. I think this one applies the theme well.

That is the exact moment I was trying to create! Thank you for playing my game

Well, that was an interesting idea! Kind of reminds of all those memes "please update to premium version", while I'm in the middle of the fight, lol!

Cool game about every action having a cost. I don't see why you can't just spam attack to stunlock the enemies or use the coin menu to get all the coins you need beforehand though. On the last level I spent a long time figuring out the portal appeared behind me and kept searching for some hidden path to the portal. The only other complaint I have is that the actions you perform block inputs, so even if I press right click while attacking it won't register. Nice game that creatively interprets the theme as "micro-transactions in a videogame"!

Developer

Thanks! I run out of time in the end so dont have time to toggle how enemy will stop getting stun and fight back
