Skull Daddy Demo

Puzzle games are usually designed to require a bit of effort in order to be completed, so they can provide you with a challenge every once in a while. Hence, gamers usually enjoy simple ideas that leave most of the solutions up to your imagination, because the freedom of coming up with multiple answers to the same riddle is what makes video games so addictive.

Skull Daddy is a physics-based puzzle game, which means that you have to use the simulated force of gravity to solve the puzzles and pass the levels. Although the theme of the game is rather spooky and unsettling, rest assured that everything is lighthearted and even amusing at times, so you do not have to worry about nightmares or disturbing imagery polluting the screen.

As such, your main goal is to roll a skull from one end of the stage to the other, where a door is waiting for you. However, there is usually a gap that stops you from simply reaching it, so you must also use a variety of objects to build a sketchy bridge of sorts in between. These pieces are affected by the physics engine as well, so they react pretty realistically to any force acting upon them.

Although making sure the structures you build can resist the stress is obviously an important step, it is also vital to properly time the impulses you can exercise on the skull itself. In fact, sometimes it may just be easier to perform a series of well-timed nudges in order to avoid an obstacle, because this way you can also save some materials and get better times.

As far as the visual quality is concerned, everything is rather gloomy and dark, but in a funny and moderate way. Squiggly lines and cartoonish environments make the experience feel lighthearted and fun, rather than depressing and scary. Plenty of humor is present as well, although everything is a bit too silent most of the time, due to the lack of music.

In the end, Skull Daddy is still rather short as of right now, but as long as you enjoy putting your mind to work and you do not mind the slightly dark setting, the game should provide you with a lot of fun. Not only that, but most of the levels have multiple solutions as well.
