i had to remove a lot of ideas so i could make it in time and even now i kinda had to jumble it together last minute. tell me if this idea is worth working on more.

Congrats on the first jam! As with most first timers the game is a bit rough around the edges.
Let's start with the obvious. A game about a punk skeleton (the concept I personally love) needs a punk-rock soundtrack! There's a bunch of free music you can find, and this game would really benefit from having it!
The skeleton, cops and the city looked ok- no notes here.
As for the gameplay- when making the game for the jam make it easier than you normally would. Some of the people won't be familiar with the genre you are making and you want to make a game that appeals to a broad audience. In your game I got stuck at a vertical jump. No matter what I do I can't get enough speed to get that high. The idea is cool- but some playtesting would help.
One more thing. I think this is pretty ambitious ideat for a 4 day jam. Time management is the most difficult task in a game jam, so my advice is as follows. Cut the time in half. Think of what you can do in that time. Then do it, and you have the rest for polishing and bugfixing.
So to sum up- good idea, but needs some difficulty balancing. And a punk-rock soundtrack.
But what DOESN'T need a punk rock soundtrack, am I right?
The Skating Skeleton got me real good. The Sprites look nice. For jumbling it together it was nicely playable without issues, good job and keep it up.
graphics were good, controls were ok. Maybe some polishing on gameplay and animations. Keep on coding.
I feel like I can see the vision, but wish there was more polish in a lot of places. The pitch of being a punk skeleton skateboarding totally got me. :D
thank you, its obviously very rough around the edges. but im very glad i finally got to participate in a game jam i have loved the community.
