Skeler Boy Kickstarter Trailer
Skeler Boy is truly a psychological horror adventure. Due to make its way onto Windows PC, Android, Game Boy, and NES. Reaching out to developer ManiacBoyStudio, it looks like Linux will also see support.
The engine we use is “game maker studio” we could also use Unity, but for now the GMS works well for us. Skeler Boy will be compatible with Linux 🙂
Game Maker Studio is an interesting choice for a game engine. Since it primarily focuses on Ubuntu based distro’s. Nevertheless, it’s a pleasure to see Linux support is part of the “PC” platform on Kickstarter. And rightly so, this is definitely a very classic style horror experience.
To create a truly immersive 3D feeling, Skeler Boy can also be played using classic 3D glasses. You know, those old school ones with the red and green lenses. These were widespread in the 80s and 90s.
Features:
- Intriguing 2D top-down adventure

- Conversations, objects, riddles and other surprises
- Pixel-art visual and 8-bit soundtrack
- Use the classic 3D glasses for an immersive experience
