HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (108 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Buggy

while it’s a great game, sometimes, it has this bug whenever I defeat the adventure or fight, the action button doesn’t work and I have to restart the game and re-defeat the adventures. Also, it would be nice if they updated it to the console version.

★★★★★Jul 14, 2026
Endless crashing

Love the game and it’s very fun Kirby meets dead cells, but it crashes anytime I’ve been on a floor that had intense combat for more than 5 minutes. I had to kill the chimera over 8 times just to experience the story bit by bit because it kept crashing as I was trying to enjoy the story and then it crashed while I was evaluating boss items which required another 2 victories against the chimera. I finally managed to skip all the dialogue I had already read and enter the next zone but it’s really frustrating to deal with these crashes. I’ve probably had the game crash over 20 times since playing it. Otherwise the opacity on the controls should be able to be adjusted and easier to read and click on item skills without triggering other buttons like your quintessence. I’d be happy to give 5 stars once the bugs are fixed.

★★★★★Jul 8, 2026
My favorite game of all time.

That said, I ended up playing it on the Switch instead. Still fun on the phone if you don’t have a Switch. My second favorite game is Dead Cells and third is Hades.

★★★★★Jun 17, 2026

What happened to death?

I played this game on the computer, my favorite skull was death in the mobile version in the mobile version it was fixed now the most unplayable and bad skull among the legendary

★★★★★May 28, 2026
The best game ever

I absolutely love this game it’s my favorite all time game and it just makes me happy that theirs so many possibilities of setups that I think this absolutely needs a expansion to it that has more opportunities for players to mess around with like for example more than just physical and magical attacks this already perfect but everything has the ability to improve just don’t change the fast pace of the game 👍👍👍👍👍

Store description

Skul is a fast-paced action rogue-lite where losing your head is encouraged. Featuring 100 playable characters each with their own unique abilities and a ton of items that can create wild synergies, the battles are as electrifying as they are challenging. The Demon King's Castle in Ruins The human race attacking the Demon King's castle is nothing new and has happened countless times before. What makes this time different though, is that the Adventurers decided to join forces with the Imperial Army and the 'Hero of Caerleon' to lead a full onslaught in hopes of wiping out the Demons once and for all. They attacked the Demon stronghold with overwhelming numbers and succeeded in its total destruction. All of the demons in the castle were taken prisoner except for one lone skeleton named 'Skul'. Dark Mirror Mode Once you're through with the main story, test your skills and limits in the new challenging 'Dark Mirror' mode! FEATURES -You’re the last hope of the entire demon race! Play as Skul, a tiny skeleton on a path to slay the pompous heroes and save the demon king from the corrupt army of Carleon. -Losing your head never felt so right: try on new skulls to borrow the powers and dashing outfits of their previous owners and create synergies with unique items to defeat your enemies. -What is dead may never die: you will not rest until you have faced all the challenges of this action-packed rogue-lite platformer. -Let your hollow eyes feast upon vibrant, cartoony pixel-art 2D animations as you help all sorts of demonic creatures return to their original state. -From the Mummies of Egypt to the Minotaur of Greece or even an official Dead Cells crossover… Will you spot all the fun easter eggs scattered across the game? CAREFULLY REDESIGNED FOR MOBILE - Revamped interface – exclusive mobile UI with complete touch control - Game Center achievements - Cloud Save – Share your progress between iOS devices - Compatible with MFi controllers - iPhone 15 Optimization (including Pro Max)
