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

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.

Pros and cons of Skullduggery! app for iPhone and iPad

Skullduggery! app good for

Haha, great game for time munching, wheres my joystick?! Takes me back to Donkey Kong #OG
Potentially the best iOS game ever! I love how its like Little Chomp, but includes so many amazing and unique ideas!
Very good, but it feels too short for the price. The last level isnt even available yet. Otherwise this game is awesome. The gameplay, controls, ambiance, musics... its almost perfect!
Its a twist Ive never seen before. Difficulty settings. Perfect
Its really cool its like your getting slingshotid by your own brain,on boss levels you get chased so you gotta be quick about it
If you are looking for a game buy this it is worth your money p.s add a far future world and a bonus that can only be accessed by getting all the assets overall great game! :)

Some bad moments

Fun to play but this game gets impossibly difficult to progress in - its just far too difficult.
This game starts with a good idea, but falls short by being too repetitive and frustratingly hard on the boss levels. If at least the progress was saved for these, it would feel a bit fairer... Reminds me of Battletoads or ninja gaiden... when we didnt have any saving option... And for today thats bad.
Im not a big gamer but I was so hooked on this game!! Theres just something about running from skeletons thats way too fun to pass up!!
This game is a lot of fun. I would give it more stars (perhaps five), but some of the levels are impossible, even in casual mode. They need to work on adjusting the skill level.
Visually the game is amazing. Simplistic But challenging game play. Would like See power up and other options.
I agree with another reviewer, the casual level is difficult for non gamers. Skill level could stand to be adjusted. Found no pleasure in playing whatsoever. Wish I hadnt spent the money. The graphics are excellent however.
