Cursed Skull
A downloadable game for Windows
/////Story/////
A bright light shines over the graveyard, focusing it's beam on a particular grave: yours!
Play as the boney hero, Gregg, in his fight to keep living after being reanimated by a mysterious light. The bright beam has cursed you with life, but being already dead means you are slowly but surely going to die. Again. But luckily for you, the light has spread orbs across the cemetery that might prolong your imminent second death.
/////Gameplay/////
Over time your health depletes.
Collect the blue orbs to give you back health.
Collecting red orbs takes life, but don't neglect them!
Overall score is calculated by your total blue orbs being multiplied by the total red orbs you collected.
Collecting certain amounts of orbs and achieving certain highscores will awaken others to help you.
Watch out for spikes and other traps too!
