Have you ever played a game that seemed cute at first, but 10 seconds later, you were sweating, dying every five seconds, and having to rethink your life choices? Yes. That was me with Skeletal Shenanigans online.
I stumbled upon it while surfing the web, clicked “play” just to see what it was about, and suddenly I was immersed in this nightmarish platformer with saws, spikes, and a skeleton that refused to survive. I mean, this little guy has no survival instincts whatsoever — but somehow, I couldn’t stop playing.
It’s a browser-based platformer where you control a spooky skeleton trying to survive a deadly obstacle course. The controls are incredibly simple: just move and jump. That’s it. Sounds easy? Wrong.
Every level is designed to kill you in the most ridiculous ways possible. There are spinning blades, falling platforms, and little spikes that suddenly appear when you least expect them. It's like Geometry Dash Lite has been cursed by a Halloween ghost.
Mechanically, the game is tight. Skeletons are responsive, jumps are solid, and the reset when you die is instantaneous, which is great, because you die a lot. Like, I stopped counting after 50.
But here's the fun part: even when it drives me crazy, I keep going. The frustration is part of the fun, in a weird "I hate this but I love this" way.
There's one part — I think I timed my jump perfectly — and then BAM, a spike in the ceiling that I didn't even notice kills me. I probably screamed. My cat ran out of the room. Classic.
The best (worst?) part is that the game knows how to mess with your expectations. You’ll get cocky, start running fast, and then it suddenly comes with a trap. Crude but iconic.
Honestly? Both. Skeletal Shenanigans online has a dark sense of humor that fits perfectly. The sound effects are silly, skeletons explode into bones in the most dramatic way possible, and the whole game has a light-hearted haunted cartoon feel.
It’s like the game is joking — and you’re the one getting the laughs.

Q: Is the game suitable for kids?
Kind of. No gore, but it feels creepy, and there are a lot of deaths. Like... a lot.
