Our take on Skeleton King
The run accelerates over time, while different enemies take sharply different amounts of health: skeletons deal 5 damage, mummies 10, and werewolves 50.
What is Skeleton King?
Skeleton King is a spooky runner set in a crypt under a Halloween full moon.
Play as a skeleton trying to collect every crown and claim the title of Skeleton King. The character moves faster as the game progresses and gradually regenerates health, but the run ends when health reaches zero. Obstacles cost 1 hit point, enemy skeletons deal 5 damage, mummies deal 10, and werewolves deal 50. Move left or right with the Left and Right keys or A and D. The game combines a steadily accelerating run with crown collection and hazards that inflict different amounts of damage.
