Skul: The Hero Slayer

A 2D roguelite action-platformer where you play a small skeleton fighting through randomized stages. You swap Skul heads mid-run, each with its own attacks and skills, and pick up items that reshape your build. Fast dodging and tight combat carry each attempt, and every death sends you back to try a new combination. Is it your kind of game?
