Skillfully Puzzling is a puzzle game/RPG merge where you build your character to traverse several puzzle elements. Join Stacy as she uses her STR, DEX, and ??? to launch boulders, jump high, and more!

This is a short game I made for GMTK Game Jam 2024 (Theme: Built to Scale). I wanted to make a unique concept for the theme, so I made a game about "building" as in building characters in RPGs. I hope you enjoy! =D

Cute female protagonist game! Good music! Puns using the jam theme! Nice! Woo RPG! Puns and female-protagonist are tags btw

Can softlock myself if I don't level up DEX and get on the other side of the second boulder. Ah well. It made sense. Annd the reset command is given next screen. heh. ... Where I can get stuck by standing on the gap between two rocks. hmmmm

Ooh, but adding INT just in-case we accidentally level grinded! heh. Nice!
