skelets

Sokpop S09: skelets is a compact, chaotic arena brawler that perfectly encapsulates Sokpop Collective’s philosophy of small ideas executed with clarity, humor, and immediacy. As part of the collective’s ninth monthly release cycle, the game does not attempt to be expansive or mechanically dense; instead, it focuses on creating short, high-energy matches built around simple goals, physical interaction, and emergent chaos. The result is a game that feels deliberately lightweight yet surprisingly expressive when played in the right context. The core premise is straightforward: skeleton characters compete to collect and secure gems while sabotaging one another in small, destructible arenas. Matches are fast and easy to understand, making the game instantly approachable even for players unfamiliar with brawlers or competitive party games. The objective-driven design keeps the action focused, ensuring that players are always moving, digging, fighting, or stealing rather than waiting for opportunities to arise. This clarity of purpose is one of the game’s biggest strengths, as it avoids confusion and keeps momentum high from the first seconds of play. Movement and interaction form the h…

This is barely a game.

Skelets is a different kind of game with about an hour of content (if you count achievements as content). Both single player and multiplayer have you collecting diamonds to win. You can use a variety of weapons found to attack your opponent for their diamonds. When one side has all diamonds, the match is won. Single player has 5 maps where you play as one skeleton versus a growing number of skeletons. It goes up by one each time. Versus has the same 5 maps, but they are all 2v2. You can only play local (or remote play) versus. Some notes; There is no easy way to continue, you must go back to the main menu each time. Also pressing enter will forfeit your match.

This is a game.

It's definitely good for a quick play, but I will say it gets repetitive quite quickly. I did have a lot of fun with it though! It only took me about an hour total to 100% the game, so not bad! Still had a good amount of time to it. For how much it is, I'd definitely say it's at least worth a play. I had fun while I played it. :)

I've always wanted to battle for victory against others as a skeleton. Thank goodness for /skelets/ because I was able to live that dream even with some small issues. Skelets is a local multiplayer skeleton brawler made by Sokpop. Take control of a skeleton, plunder riches, hunt other skeletons with guns, explosives or rockets and try to be the first one to collect all the gems! The gameplay is simple, but they do not explain anything except the "space" action when you're near a weapon and the basic WASD movement. It took a few attempts to fully grasp all the controls, but it wasn't so fun watching the CPUs one shot me with the gun, but I couldn't do it to them. ): The only other problem I had was when the CPUs would freak out in a corner, jump around constantly or have perfect aim, but it wasn't awful. All in all, it's a decent game if you're bored and just want to hunt some diamonds, shoot other skeletons or just rush away a few minutes.
