Skeleton Man's Amateur Skater

Entry for Ludum Dare Jam 44. April 26th-29th 2019.
Theme: Change the genre of a classic video game
Idea: It's Super Mario, except featuring a skateboarding skeleton.
Pull off some gnarly tricks to earn as many points as possible.
I started work on the graphics assets ahead of time and as such,
unless I create new assets from scratch after the jam begins
I will be opting out of the graphics voting category.
