Ruby Eyes

A game about becoming beautiful.

You are but a wee skeleton residing in the Necromancer's Tower. You realize that your skull would be so much prettier if you had some rubies where your eyes would be. Rumor has it that the necromancer holds some very impressive gems. Maybe you should go take a look?

very good game, but if you die you can sometimes see that you have negative hp xd

Really good, but VERY hard! There's so many stats (which is not inherently bad) but not too many chances to raise them. It'd be really awesome if stronger enemies were introduced a little slower, cause by the time you get to the fourth or fifth stage, a relatively well-played run can go downhill REALLY fast. It may also be nice to get experience from enemies again after killing a certain amount of them, to give you more chances to improve your skills! That or making loot just a tad bit more common- or both!
(UPDATE) Having played the new update, it does help quite a bit! I actually managed to beat it on my first run, and it is really nice to enjoy getting to play with all of the power you build up as you go. I'll definitely keep an eye on this game!

This is really cool, looks like there is a lot of depth to the game, I'll need to try it a few times :)

I feel like 90% of the difficulty in this game is learning what the various stats mean. So for my own sake, here's the key:

Jaw Luster - attack damage
Rib Cage Volume - damage gained from trumpets
Tooth Embouchure - rubies required to blow a trumpet
Glamour - maximum number of rubies
Marrow Quality - maximum hp
Bone Density - defense
Calcium Intake - heal from milk
Socket Depth - Vision Range
Spook Factor - reduced enemy vision

Finally got a good game and managed to win. I found the best strategy was to focus on attack strength. If I could upgrade attack directly, I did it. Otherwise I focused on making my doot doots more effective. Then I got the mystery upgrade that gives you one attack point for every kill and I went on a killing spree. Once I was at 50 points per hit I was unstoppable.
And, lemme tell you, that ending graphic was all worth it.

What’s the rate for the soul and is it for only the first one you kill of it
