A cracked phone screen may appear like a surface problem, but the damage might run deeper than you think. Skelematics is one of the most aesthetically unique games showcased during this year’s Global Game Jam. It invites you to take a look at the bare bones of your electronics, find a connection between the glitches, and make a crucial fix that will restore life to your phone. Not sure this game would realistically solve your tablet’s issues or extend its warranty, but it’s certainly worth a try! The judges were amazed by the unique aesthetics of the game, using blueprints of the phone as a gameplay background. Judges also gave extra creditfor the easy mechanics and the low bar for entry.
