An arcade adventure game in which we play the role of a lively skull trying to prevent divine war. In Skully, we travel through picturesque locations and face various problems, assuming one of four protagonist forms with different abilities.
Skully is an arcade adventure game. The game was developed by the independent Canadian studio Finish Line Games and released by Modus Games.
Skully takes us on a journey to a fantastic world, or more precisely to a magical island ruled by siblings of three conflicting gods. In the course of the game, we take on the role of the skull, which was brought back to life by a mysterious deity. The hero must do everything he can to reconcile the gods, and thus prevent a war hanging in the air threatening life on the island.
In Skully, the action was shown from the third person perspective (TPP). The game consists of eighteen levels embedded in seven different biomes, including picturesque surface locations and gloomy underground caves. Each of these places is full of various threats; in addition, to push the action forward, we often have to solve various environmental puzzles.
Skully copes with the problems encountered, taking appropriate forms. As a skull, the hero can only roll and jump, allowing him to overcome terrain obstacles and move quickly from place to place. After turning into one of the three muddy creatures, he gains, among other things, great strength (thanks to which he can destroy rock walls, for example) or the ability to telekinesis (allowing him to move platforms or carry small stones).
The graphic design of Skully is pleasing to the eye. The environment is diverse and detailed, and the various forms of the hero are richly animated. All this is complemented by a catchy soundtrack that creates an atmosphere of great adventure.

Just Push Start: 3.5 / 5 by Mark Fajardo
There really isn't much you can say about Skully. It's a rolling platformer that relies on rather simple concepts to sell the experience. It's enough to make the game engaging and in a number of sections challenging, but it really doesn't do anything to stand out. Story is largely just there, dialogue is a bit on the stiff side and visuals often look underwhelming. This isn't to say there is absolutely no reason to play Skully, it actually does a number of things well, it just doesn't stand out in any particular way, ultimately making average feel shine through.
GameSpot: 5 / 10 by Mike Epstein
Skully's basic puzzle-solving and platforming are mostly benign, with occasional shows of both clever design and poor craftsmanship.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 5 / 10 by Rebecca Smith
Skully has other issues too. A strange bug meant that I twice lost control of the golems, watching helplessly as they plunged into the nearest hazard. Sometimes when climbing vines, Skully would fall off for no reason. There were invisible walls, times when Skully deflected off platforms at an unnatural angle, and times when the lava would just disappear. A lot of players will likely give up before they reach the end of the game. It's a shame but completely understandable when the game has a heart that's let down by myriad problems.
