Skullduggery! is an upcoming iOS and Android game about flinging a debt-collecting skull by its brain
Use your head
Skullduggery! is all about collecting coins and possessions from dead people who haven't paid their taxes.
You're an undead bailiff, essentially.
In truth, it's spookily reminiscent of Angry Birds. Except, well, you're flinging a skull rather than a squawking bird.
You're also supposed to fling the skull multiple times to get across the levels, rather than just once. So, Skullduggery! is a traditional platformer as far as level design goes. Yep, dodge the hazards, collect the coins.
The catch is that you can only travel between the bony arms that stick out of the walls, floor, and ceiling. If you miss, then you won't be able to fling your skull.
In later levels, your skull-flinging precision will be tested with tighter gaps, though you do get slow motion to aid you. There's also a head-to-head multiplayer mode if skulls and brains is your idea of a party.
If the concept of Skullduggery! wasn't enough of an indication of its bizarro nature, the cartoon gothic art style only serves to reinforce that point.
Skullduggery! will be heading to iOS and Android later this year. You can find out more information about the game on its website.
