Skeletal Shenanigans

Skeletal Shenanigans is a Medium Demon level created by Yaren, originally created for Jam Attack’s Fifth Creator Contest. The challenge was to design a cartoon-style level with a gem as its core element. The level quickly became a hit thanks to its clever combination of gameplay, graphics, story, and music.

Skeletal Shenanigans Setting

Players begin in a dark room, next to a glowing gem. As they progress, the gem is stolen by mischievous skeletons, opening a journey through various environments:

• Blazing fire pits
• Magnificent ancient castles
• Rooftops with continuous cannon fire
• Luxury forests
• Deep caves

Throughout the journey, players chase the gem while facing a series of challenges and humorous antics from the mischievous skeletons.

Diverse and challenging gameplay

Skeletal Shenanigans is built with many consecutive game modes, ensuring the pace is always fresh:

• Spider: A rare opening in Medium Demon levels, creating a sense of surprise.
• Robot: A challenge to accurately jump, requiring good timing.
• Swing Copter: Continuously switching between left and right, bringing excitement.
• Cube: Traditional jumps but transformed with traps and effects.
• Each segment is closely synchronized with the background music, keeping the excitement throughout.

Battle with Big Bonesy

The highlight of the level is the confrontation with Big Bonesy—a giant skeleton. What's special is that Big Bonesy's attacks change depending on the player's position, creating a sense of interaction and no battle is the same. In this battle, the player must both dodge attacks and maintain the gameplay rhythm and, at the same time, observe humorous details hidden in the background.

Visuals and Effects in Skeletal Shenanigans

• Yaren has created different tilesets for each area, from castles and forests to caves. Notable details include:
• Dynamic lighting that makes each scene come to life and has depth.
• Smooth animations for characters and bosses.
• Customizable scoreboards, humorous wall murals, and gems that dance to the beat of the music.
• The transitions are seamless, creating the feeling of an ongoing cartoon.

Skeletal Shenanigans received a lot of attention upon its release and quickly achieved Mythic status thanks to its creative and balanced gameplay, excellent visuals, and effects. This is one of the most playable Medium Demon stages in Geometry Dash 2.2, combining both skill and entertainment. If you like deep, psychological horror games, don't miss Fran Bow.
