Skully is a puzzle-platformer game developed by Canadian company Finish Line Games, released through Steam in 2020.A little skull awakens on a sandy beach of an uninhabited island, gaining sentience after contact with enchanted clay and having the ability to move around by rolling. Bestowed life by an earth spirit called Terry, the skull - nicknamed "Skully", because why not - is out to explore the world, tagging behind Terry, who wants to seek his estranged elemental siblings whom had since driven apart after a feud centuries ago and now rules four different corners of the island.Of course, little Skully - which the player controls - isn't a rolling skull for the entire game. Thanks to Terry's magic, every now and then Skully can immerse itself into clay pools, and transform into different golems with various abilities. And soon enough, it's clear that Terry and his siblings aren't willing to collaborate and settle a centuries-old feud. Somehow, it's up to Skully to prevent the rogue elementals from destroying earth.The game is available for the PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. | |

Sound-Only Death: A non-dying variant, but Terry finally losing it an devouring Brent, Wanda and Fiona are only heard in the background of a level near the end. When Skully meets Terry again, he's already assimilated all his siblings. | |

Sibling Rivalry | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_19209d54 | comment |
Sibling Rivalry: The game's plot is kicked off by the feuding of four elemental siblings which threatens to destroy an island, and the quartet's eldest brother, Terry, trying to set things straight only for his attempts to backfire hilariously. Unlike other examples of the trope however, the four siblings do eventually make amends by the game's conclusion. | |

When It Rains, It Pours | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_30f48597 | comment |
When It Rains, It Pours: There's a stage where Skully needs to flee from a rain, which delivers buckets trying to dissolve it. Even in Fleet Footer form and dashing at maximum speed Skully barely makes it to the other shelter. Justified because it's magic rain delivered by Wanda. | |

Suspiciously Cracked Wall: Tends to show up every now and then, where a wall blocking Skully's only way to proceed has web-like cracks on their surface. Skully needs to access a Strong Golem to punch the wall down. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Terry, in his final form, has been ultimately defeated and all his elemental siblings released, but the Heart Of Nature has grown unstable with a visible crack. Skully ultimately decides to use itself to seal the crack, performing a Heroic Sacrifice - despite Terry begging Skully to stop, because there's got to be a better way. Eventually, the Heart is restored and everything's back to normal, just as Mother Nature reveals herself to the siblings. As Terry, Wanda, Brent and Fiona holds hands, the screen fades out as the story ends. | |

Elemental Embodiment: The elemental siblings are made of the elements they represent, Terry having a body consisting of earth, rock and grass, Wanda as a humanoid made of water, Brent a living tornado with a face and Fiona as a lava humanoid shrouded in flames. | |

Lily-Pad Platform: The swamp and lake levels has Skully (either in skull or golem form) crossing the water with gigantic lily pads. They're either fixed on the spot, floating freely, or tends to rise and sink at random - missing a jump leads to Skully losing a life. | |

Cave Behind the Falls | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_50c23153 | comment |
Cave Behind the Falls: The waterfall in Wanda's swamp has one such cave behind the cascading water, which Skully can enter by jumping through. Some health loss is inevitable, but there's a conveniently-placed clay pool behind for Skully to heal itself. | |

Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity: Skully needs to scale a steep cliff (in skull form) in order to reach Brent's hideout, and the wind elemental periodically sending powerful breezes capable of pushing Skully to it's death isn't helping. | |

Mighty Glacier | |

Skully and Terry's first confrontation with Wanda doesn't exactly go as planned, with a pissed-off Wanda sending a tidal wave that washes Terry aside, and Skully needs to outrun the water or lose a life. The fact that Skully's sole golem form at the time is the Mighty Glacier isn't helping. | |

Attack of the Monster Appendage | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_a24495b8 | comment |
Attack of the Monster Appendage: Levels set in swamps and underground pools will often have gigantic black tentacles sticking out the surface, attempting to knock Skully into the water. The tentacles are fixed on a single spot and their owners remain unseen. One of the last areas have Skully trying to avoid a gigantic stone hand summoned by Terry who chases him around a cavern, which can be spotted via Worm Sign. | |

Run or Die | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_b6060b7 | comment |
Run or Die: If lacking a golem form, Skully's only means of dealing with enemies is to flee by rolling away at maximum speed. Heck, the Fleet Footer and Jolly Jumper golem forms doesn't have attack abilities either and can only speed or jump through obstacles. | |

Cycle of Hurting | |
| Skully (Video Game) / int_c121be7b | comment |
Cycle of Hurting: There's a lot of these during gameplay; getting stuck in shallow water in Skully's skull form and trying to jump upwards without success, running in Fleet Footer form through a rainy area only to be caught in a corner, unable to access an available Golem form in time, all which shaves away Skully's health via water erosion until a life is depleted. | |

And they're unable to see eye-to-eye, with Terry being the only one actively taking action to pull his family together. | |

Action Bomb: The game's most common mook enemy, sentient water-blobs with faces, will explode themselves whenever Skully (either in skull or golem form) approaches, and getting caught in their blast radius deals damage. They don't die after exploding though, simply reforming themselves, and only Skully's Strong Golem form can defeat them for good. | |
