About Spirit Bound

Trapped in this stone-walled dungeon, you (the spirit) must find a way to leave... 

Spirit Bound is a 2D Puzzle Platformer where you take control of a spirit who is lost in a dungeon and desperate to find a way out. Too weak to interact with the physical world and too weak to use your spiritual powers to phase through. You, however, possess a power to reanimate and take control of the bones of skeletons and raise them up from the dead.

Controls

  • WASD/ Arrow Keys - Movement
  • E - Possess/ Unpossess
  • R - Restart (In-game)
  • SPACE - Jump (Skeleton Only)
  • Made in Unity Engine for the Pixel Game Jam 2025

    NOTE: There are a few bugs that were unresolved by the time of the Game Jam and will be addressed later afterwards. Down below is the bugs I have encountered and some work-arounds (as of 18/05/25)

    • Possession - If you see just a pile of bones and you are not able to move then unpossess and repossess and that should change from the Bones to a Skeleton which you can then control normally
    • Tilemap Collisions - Can be jagged in certain areas so it isn't a smooth walking experience - I recommend jumping to move instead until this is resolved
