Is it possible you could include instructions on getting free linux distro w/ VM and then some instructions on getting SDL installed and how to run your game?

I really like the Egyptian theme in this game!

@Peach Pie Productions
Hey, thanks for the comment ! We'll make sure to step by your game tomorrow. :)

@KakaDev
Hey, we'll try to use the 48 hrs we have to improve the portability, if we can't make it in time we'll make sure to put detailed instructions on how to get everything working from Windows. Thanks for the comment !

well....

I cannot play :S

sarkriss 2016-12-13 18:29

Hey everyone. We're gonna configure a virtual environment so everyone can play easily just by downloading VirtualBox.

We'll upload that as soon as possible. It's not optimal but it's the best we can offer for now...

Sorry for not being able to release a Windows version.

Thanks for stepping by, congratulations for your own games and have a wonderful day !

Really cool game mechanics and it's a somewhat challenging game, which is a good thing! Also, it's fun.

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 20:19

Great game, challenging mechanics, it's such a pity that i can't run it at spare time during work(.

tompudding 2016-12-14 00:03

I really liked the music and the Egyptian theme. The room changing mechanic was disorienting, and without warning could kill me instantly which was annoying, especially if I was right at the end, but it was exciting too. My best score was 51 which is probably but there you go :)

Very weird game

elmogames 2016-12-14 13:29

I am sorry but i dont have linux. Maybe next time

stadoblech 2016-12-14 16:59

you know that you are limiting your ratings because this linux only version?

mrjackphil 2016-12-14 18:30

Can't run Linux...

awesomerex 2016-12-15 01:58

I have linux, but not the required library. You should distribute a statically linked executable.

sarkriss 2016-12-15 10:50

This is the best tuto I can point to for those who really wanna try it out :
http://www.storagecraft.com/blog/the-dead-simple-guide-to-installing-a-linux-virtual-machine-on-windows/

Maybe we'll improve the game and continue working on it and on a stable version a bit later !

Thanks for the comments and yep, we're well aware of the Linux-limitation.

Have a nice day !

My Highscore: 120

Great first entry and very fitting music!!
I wish it would be more transparent how the score is calculated, because you say in the description that the score is made out of health, collected coins and remaining time. But this does not tell what's the best strategy, should I run as fast as I can to the door to have more time left at the end or should I collect as many coins as I can before time runs out. I think that the second one gets you the highest final score.
Also, maybe the position of the exit should also change, to prevent the player from farming coins right next to the exit and implement some kind of risk-reward mechanic.

I can't play because I have Windows
