========================================================

You know the old saying, “you can’t take it with you?” Well, we’ve got news for you, my friends, they were WRONG! “Deadbeats” have been taking their riches with them to the afterlife for centuries and it’s the job of the INFERNAL Revenue Service — and its army of skulls — to collect! That’s where you come in.

In “Skullduggery!” you’ll play a Semi-Organic Autonomous Skull employed as a collection agent for the IRS. Using the elasticity of your own brain, flick yourself around the fortresses of the afterlife’s biggest deadbeats.

- BRAIN POWER: Pull back ANYWHERE on the screen to stretch out your brain! Let go to snap your skull forward like a brainy rubber band.

- BULLET TIME: Touch and hold in mid-air to slow down time, change directions, avoid deadly obstacles, and pull off crazy trick shots!

- GRAVITATIONAL TRUANCY: Repeatedly jump by aiming again while your skull is mid-flight.

- STEALTHINESS: Being small has advantages! Hide in trash cans, chests, and jars. Slip behind surly guards and take them out while their backs are turned!

- HEADSHOTS: Take out enemies with a single well-placed fling to the cranium.

- HEAD TO HEAD: Play ‘head to head’ against your friends to become the afterlife’s most successful agent.

- BUREAUCRACY: Fill out paperwork and reflect on the inherent emptiness of existence!

“Skullduggery!” features the endearingly grotesque art stylings of game artist extraordinaire Bill Mudron, inspired by the Max Fleischer animations of the 1930’s, and a quirky, doom-jazzy, bureau-noir soundtrack from industrial musician Michael Arthur Holloway.

MORE FEATURES:

- A finely-tuned and deeply-satisfying one-touch control scheme specifically tailored to mobile.
- Four distinctly unique and atmospheric worlds with more on the way.
- Dreadful puns.
- Single Player mode with 32 surreal and pleasantly spooky levels.
- Multiplayer “Head to Head” mode with a variety of brain-pounding arenas.
- Hidden rooms and secret chests containing treasure and other delights.
- Pleasing power-ups and epic boss battles!
- Dozens of collectables and secondary objectives for maximum replayability.
- Over 20 unique skulls to unlock, including guest celebrity skulls from some of our favorite games.
- Compete with Google Play Achievements and Leaderboards.
- Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork!

I'm loving it so far. Finally something different and cool. I even paid for the full version to help you guys out so I hope you see this. I'm having black out issues every 2 levels or so. The screen goes grey and all I can see are the treasure items at the top right of the screen and the time on the top left, if I press on my phones back button the option for resume, restart or quit show up but hitting resume does not bring the picture back and I am forced to restart the level. Good luck, I hope you fix it.

You guys did an outstanding job with this game. Tolerable graphics, even on low, very fast, and super addicting. Ads do get annoying, but I think you guys did such a good job with this game that I'm just ignoring them. Keep up the good work!!!

Its a good game and all,i only need 2 or 3 more skulls, but theres a weird thing that says "Unfortunately Skullduggery! Has Stopped".

O70%
by O####:

Everything from the art to the animation is fantastic, simple but well done. The gameplay always changes up but the base mechanic still remains to be solid fun. It would be great to add simple mini games exploring the mechanics. Also I have an issue with the screen going grey randomly and no longer being able to play. Frustrating when I'm just about to beat the boss... Will easily change to 5 stars if this is fixed.

Got a hard level and finally got to the end, yes! Oh look, another glitch. Now I have to start over. Again. This game is constantly glitching and bickering for your money when it's not. Great concept but the cons outweigh the pros. *pro

N70%
by N####:

This game is really fun and like playing it, and highly recommend it. However, they could do with like, maybe 2 levels in-between ads instead of an ad in-between each level. I know developers need to make money from ads, but come on, really? You can make it every 2 levels at the most. I'm not complaining about the ads though, because I like that the game is being made available for free. Ithink Angry Birds should have done something like this too, that'd be pretty fun.

Last update has messed up the game. Now every single time I open the game one single pop up reads download failed and the only option is clicking cancel. Before that game was fine. How do you ppl screw up a normal running game so much that it stops running altogether ?? Pathetic. Phone model lenovo P70 A. Can you ppl fix it ? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Uninstall.

Almost everytime i play my screen goes white and i have to exit and go back in. That means i have to restart the level all over again. Its starting to get annoying.

The puns in the video alone are just... i dont even know. Good work! Also, why did you thank the number 12? I wanna know the story behind it. Edit: found a glitch where after an ad, sound effects stop working

This game is great. Ever play a fling type game where you wish you could just keep launching or repositioning your shots? Oh wait. And also have bullet time while doing so? Yeah. That's this game. It's great. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this game.

A great game, but it won't open anymore. Very disappointing not to be able to play it anymore and it looks like I'm not the only one this has happened to.

L70%
by L####:

It tells you that you have to collect or do things that aren't there to collect or do! For example on level 1-2 in order to complete two of the usual three objectives I have to hit thirteen springs and collect a microscope. Well THERE ARE NOT 13 springs to bounce off in the stage! Also either there two parts to the microscope or there is a glitch in the game as I only ever pick up one part HAVING OPENED EVERY CHEST and don't get the crown at the end of the stage!

N70%
by N####:

The game is unplayable due to the screen turning gray after a minute of gameplay. It kept doing that over and over again. By the 5th restart I gave up on this game.

Except for forcing us poor folk to spend real money that we do not have... Dontchya know we have rich friends are that look for 5***** ratings, then spend a but-load of cash to be better that their poor friends!

N70%
by N####:

The games design. Is good, the mechanics need a bit of tweaking, but the fact that it FORCES COMMERCIALS after EVERY SINGLE LEVEL makes this game unplayable. There's a difference between getting paid for your work and being rediculiously greedy. 1 star!

Have been addicted for a while around Halloween. After finishing all levels, hoped the upgrade might offer new levels and challenges; sadly, it doesn't really offer anything new. Can't you make some new levels?

5 stars for the fun and challenge this impeccable "platformer" provided near release, pity they CBF keeping it compatible with OS updates. Its become unstable over time, sadly.

Too bad it just loads a black screen, won't even crash out....just sits there with a black screen.

Play this game with your thumbs for an hour and I guarantee you, you won't able to use them for 2 hours... great concept though, brain tasking puzzles, amazing graphics and lastly, the quickest way to getting thumb arthritis... 4 stars, ahm keeping the last one cause you developers almost broke my thumbs. At one point, I didn't know if it was better using my left or right thumb! Anyway, back to the game.

L70%
by L####:

What's the catch? Seriously. This game quite easily competes with any SNES era puzzle platformer in a good way. The game mechanics concept is quite original. See the little skull with it's brain pulled out? That's you, and you propel yourself around by pulling your brains out and letting them snap back into your skull. Think angry birds meets platformer, and you'll have a vague idea of how it works (but it's nowhere near as finicky as angry birds). The game is clever, engaging, and has bonus objectives. Also, as far as I can tell so far, viewing the ads is only needed for earning bonus items. 5 stars unless something changes later in.

Headmaster is really hard to beat its really hard even in easy mode ! I just cant beat him

I70%
by I####:

The gameplay is novel and i was thinking of buying the game. But what I found is the game cheats too often just to rob u an achievement. Also the game goes grey when i was just completing a level. Rest less said for ads the better. If we have no internet connection dat means u got to punish us for not showing d ads. Sorry guys u aint gettin a dime from me.

I love the gameplay but the screen often randomly goes gray it's quite infuriating.

This game is so addicting when I started I had a look around the menu and found the keys so I tried it and got the Pharaoh and ever since I've used it. But is there a story / point to the game?

Y70%
by Y####:

This game is going to b really popular soon.i love the bosses never thought id b headbutting a boss to death loved it!

Y70%
by Y####:

Simple controls and looks nice. Just to boring to warrant a higher score or to capture my desire to continue playing after just a few levels so uninstalling sorry.

O70%
by O####:

As mentioned above, this is a really good game. The graphis are good and the idea of launching around a skull is an awesome idea. The only problem is that after about 2 weeks the game will crash as soon as it's opened. The only way to fix this is to delete and re install. But once you reinstall all your progress is deleted. Thr b after 2 more weeks it will crash again. Please fix this.
