Jump the gaps, smash the bones, grab the gems
Skeletons have overrun the land, and one stubborn, bearded Viking is not having it. Vikings vs Skeletons is a side-scrolling platformer of six levels, each hiding three stars, where you run, leap lava gaps and swing your sword while grabbing gems, coins and hearts. Reading a skeleton's movement and striking at the right moment works far better than mashing the attack button.
How to play Vikings vs Skeletons
- Head right through each stage, jumping the lava gaps and climbing to higher ledges.
- Attack skeletons when they come within reach, or hop over the slow ones.
- Collect gems, coins and stars for points, and grab hearts to restore health.
- Reach the end of the stage to continue; run out of health and you have to try again.

Tips to play better
- Let a skeleton finish its swing, then step in and strike while it recovers.
- When your health is low, jump over lone skeletons instead of trading hits with them.
- Clear any skeleton standing near a gap before you jump, because landing beside one leaves no room to fight.
- Explore ledges away from the main path; tucked-away spots are worth checking for extra gems.

Vikings vs Skeletons FAQ
How do I beat skeletons without getting hit?
Watch for the wind-up before each attack, stay just out of reach, and hit back the moment the swing ends. Charging straight in usually means trading damage.

Gems, coins and stars add to your score, while hearts top up your health so you can survive the tougher stretches.
