I really love the way the level is formed as you play and the snapshot of your final layout at the end is brilliant.
The only thing I was a bit unsure of was the combat and I never found any relics..?

I really liked playing this. It was like a long-range Bomberman game set in the Tomb Raider universe. I thought this game did a lot of things well. Nicely done.

The end game pull out was a nice touch. I feel the game could have used more explanation over what the goal was.

Loved it!!!
Have to say:
What relics are to?
Its too easy! I made it directly to the end, but, if the difficulty isn't growing up, meh

I thought the concept was really interesting. I enjoyed how the level built itself and then showed it to you at the end. I didn't feel a sense of progression, however, which could really be improved. I would like to see this idea fleshed out more!

A slow dungeon-crawl, creeping through the darkness.

I found 17/17 artifacts and scored 3350 points.

This had a old school Diablo feel, exploring a generated level. The music is also well done. I managed to find 17 relics the first play through before ever finding the exit - the joys of rng!

Tile based generation was great and I love the zoom out at the end to reveal the full path. I would like to see this game taken further, seems like a nice start!

Eerie little game. Like the moving tiles. Sound was good too heh.

@Hypermagical: you are the star. well done!

About the relics: currently the more buildings/ruins you destroy the greater will be the probability for the relics to appear. The probability also changes dynamically as you keep destroying those buildings/ruins.

Thanks a lot for playing!!

I rather enjoyed it, though I got really confused towards the end.

Didn't quite get what was going on, but finished it. Shooting mechanic wasn't particularly satisfying, but overall it was solid.

Loved it !! I had a lot of fun, congratulations.

Level generation is nice, audio and graphics are a bit lacking in conviction.

The tiles popping in as you wander around the map was a wonderful effect. The major thing that made the game somewhat difficult to tolerate after a certain amount of time is that there isn't a point of reference or any environmental distinctions after a while. Nothing really separates one area from another aside from the way the tiles spawn in.

I enjoyed the game in a weird way though, wandering around blasting everything I saw was satisfying for a few moments but grows old after a while. Especially when the exit is nowhere to be seen.

Overall it wasn't a bad game but I felt like I didn't have a lot of purpose for doing anything I was doing, aside from, you know, points and stuff. And points and stuff can only carry a game so far without growing dull.

I like of mechanic and visuals of game. Nice level generator.

thewhitellama 2013-12-20 02:20

Wow, this really makes fun! I beat the level on the first try, so maybe it's a little bit too easy. But it's still enjoyable. Music is nice and fits with the graphics which are okay.

cakencode 2013-12-20 03:26

I got all the relics but nothing seemed to happen? I ran around and unlocked most of the map but still nothing... at least it was fun and engaging enough to keep me unlocking tiles.

gokuhd 2013-12-22 04:44

The way the level is constructed is similar to Bastion, very nice idea. I like the concept of the game too, good job.

zephyr-raine 2013-12-22 23:38

Great concept, but the audio quickly gets onto the nerves. Love the map !

jupiter_hadley 2013-12-25 19:02

Fun game, love the map I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to have a look :) http://youtu.be/fAaMjCotTMM

celsyum 2014-01-06 19:35

great concept , need better graphics

nicealexanderas 2014-01-06 19:36

Fun game play also interesting idea! :D Great work, loving the feeling of destroying those things with particles and the awesome sound effects :D

jaj 2014-01-06 21:59

I actually really like the feel of the game, and the adio is really good, but I think it was a bit too easy.
