Skelly and friends face the slime king
The story

Skelly just wanted a quiet day in his field.

Then the slimes showed up. Grab your sword, rally a party of skeleton heroes and bash, shoot, burn and freeze your way through sixteen chapters of slime-filled chaos to find out who's really behind the invasion.

The story plays out in three acts, from a sunny field and a spooky graveyard to a storm-swept cloud kingdom, a sunken underwater city and beyond. Every chapter ends in a boss fight, and the bone-rattling Bones family is waiting at the end of each act.

Six heroes, one skeleton crew

Meet the party

Swap heroes at any moment, even mid-fight
Skelly
Sword & shield

The steady all-rounder who started it all.

Archie
Bow

Aims and looses arrows from a safe distance.

Bjorn
Giant axe

Cracks armored shells wide open.

Tret
Flaming mace

Sets monsters ablaze with every swing.

Chilly
Ice magic

No weapon, just frost that finds each weakness.

Stormy
Desert blade

Calls down lightning with every hit.

Some monsters only fall to the right hero, so knowing when to switch is half the fun.
