Bones Beneath Instruction Manual
Explore the Egyptian underworld in this precision platformer! Jump, whip, and dash your way through a challenging, interconnected world that weaves linear gauntlets with open-ended exploration.
- Conquer over 200 rooms spread across tombs and otherworldly biomes, with each zone presenting unique challenges.
- Traverse the underworld in style with ancient powers which grant hover, wall jump, and dash abilities.
- Worried about death? Mystical ankh statues will quickly resurrect you so you can retry challenges right away.
- Battle terrifying gods and befriend charming creatures who call the underworld their home.
Obtain three abilities that change how you traverse the world and unlock new zones organically. All granted by powerful Egyptian gods!
- Amon's Second Wind - A gust of wind allows you to hover in the air for a short time. Handy for extending your jump and saving yourself from plummeting into spikes.
- Bastet's Feline Finesse - A slick wall jump that lets you rebound or slide down walls with ease.
- Horus's Holy Falcon - A fiery eight direction dash that protects you from harm while damaging enemies.
Controller recommended, but keyboard supported. Controls can be found in the options menu and are listed below.

Hey Blue Herb Software,
You were my Gem of the Stream! Check it out:
Every. Single. Block trap. But I loved it! You've put together an amazing game. The controls are tight and responsive, the pixel art is great and the music is a tomb-raiding bop. I've played a little bit more since the video and got past the first boss (defs not on the first try either). I'm keen to play more, even if I struggle with it. Highly recommend for people to play this one!
I have created a Discord as a space for game devs to talk about their experiences and share their games. Would love to have you join!

Thanks for playing! It's always fun to watch people struggle (and succeed) through the levels we made.
