skelets (v1.0.1)

Bones, bombs, and buried loot turn every match into a frantic race for control in this scrappy local multiplayer brawler. Skelets pits up to four animated skeletons against one another on compact, fully breakable arenas packed with precious gems. The goal is simple but wonderfully messy: dig through the ground, grab every diamond you can, and stop rivals from escaping with the prize first. Its playful presentation and energetic music keep the mood light, even when a well-placed attack sends an opponent’s plans crumbling apart.

Matches revolve around choosing a weapon, carving routes through the landscape, and deciding when to hunt treasure versus when to harass the other players. Seven weapons give each skeleton different ways to fight and tunnel, so arenas constantly change as players blast holes, open shortcuts, and cut off access to valuable gem pockets. A single-player campaign lets you face computer-controlled opponents while learning each level’s terrain and unlocking the game’s five battlefields. Local play supports four people on one screen, making it best suited to quick couch sessions where alliances form briefly before somebody steals the last cache.

Destructible terrain is the key idea that separates Skelets from a standard arena fighter: the battlefield is not just a backdrop, but a resource, a maze, and a weapon. Every round can develop differently depending on which tunnels survive, where gems remain hidden, and how aggressively players reshape the map. The small level count and focused feature set make it feel like an arcade party game rather than a deep competitive platform fighter, but that directness works in its favor. Fans of chaotic couch games such as TowerFall, Duck Game, or Worms should find plenty to enjoy, particularly if they want a fast, accessible contest with more digging and treasure theft than elaborate combos.
