Play as Scully the Skeleton, whipping your skull at bats, ghosts, frogs, and pumpkins in a number of tough platforming stages that will put your reflexes to the test! Take it slow and try to get a full combo or go full speed ahead and aim for the best time!<br \/>\n<BR><BR><br \/>\n<strong>Controls:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Skullshot is played with a mouse and keyboard, but we plan on supporting gamepads in the future!\n<li>WASD moves Scully left and right, up and down. You can also use spacebar to jump!\n<li>Left click to throw your skull and right click to drop or roll it!\n<li>After losing your head, pull it back toward you by clicking either mouse button. Just make sure you&#8217;re unobstructed and ready to catch it!\n<\/ul>\n<p><BR><br \/>\n<strong>How to Play:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Throw your skull at baddies to take them out! Destroy all the enemies in a level and you win!\n<li>Beat the level fast enough to win a medal! Try to beat your friend&#8217;s best times!\n<li>Try to keep your combo running! If your skull takes out an enemy and you don&#8217;t pick it up after five seconds, you&#8217;ll break your combo. It&#8217;s the five second rule!\n<li>Don&#8217;t get hit too many times or you&#8217;ll be sent to an early grave&#8230;for the second time, from the looks of it!\n<\/ul>\n<p><BR><br \/>\n<strong>Tips and Tricks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Did you know? Your head is the smartest part of your body! Your skull will seek out nearby enemies after the first contact, so look for patterns!\n<li>Maintain a high combo to keep your skull moving fast! You&#8217;ll move a little faster without the weight, too!\n<li>Man, you must have a really heavy head&#8230;looks like you can double jump while headless as well!\n<li>You can only use the recall technique once per throw, but taking out an enemy will restore its use!\n<li>Even if you&#8217;re blocked by a surface, recalling your skull could give it that extra bounce it needs to hit another target!\n<\/ul>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<p><strong>PLAYPLAYFUN&#8217;S IMPRESSION ON SKULLSHOT:<\/strong><BR><br \/>\nSkullshot is an arcade platformer game that reminds me of the good olden days of 8-bit video games.
