your game is amazing! it feels so polished!
I swear, you 3D artists are wizards. The graphics are great. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but some of the UI was obtuse. I also wasn't exactly sure what I was meant to be doing, and the controls were a little unresponsive. I wish there was a bit more explaining to be had. Good job overall!
The rules are a little bit unclear to me
Beautiful graphics, great job and an awesome entry!
An incredible mini game, with just the right difficulty to not be to simple he is not easy to beat. bravo to the graphic designers.
Congrats on the game! Took me a while to get the turn by turn concept but once I got the hang of it the game was super fun, I'm impressed that the game is so polished and works so well. The ambiance with the graphics and music is great, puts you right in the universe of the game. I love the mecanic, although it took me a while to understand what the numbers on the arrows were, I though it was the number of gems present in the row at first. I got a win on the 3rd attempt which makes me happy as the game looks quite difficult. I appreciate the controls with the P key, super helpful. The player character isn't super visible. The moving rows mechanic is super fun. Again congrats it's a super fun game, and pretty deep once you understand the rules.
Very very polished and beautiful. Like others, it took me a while to understand how to play, perhaps some simple tutorial UI could help with that. Overall, I thought the concept was great and everything just looked sooo good!
Great job :)
Same here, really enjoyed teh game but the goal and controls where unclear at first but really a great job making this. I love the indiana jones theme to it even if that might have been unintentional
Really nice GG ! It took me a while to understand the beginning of the game. But after understanding, the game becomes much more fun. A lot of work on the polish and the art, well done!
A great polished treasure hunter/indiana jones game. Love the dynamic shifts in the pyramid and the graphics were really nice and polished.
I did sometimes get stuck in one room as a result of the dynamic changes. But when all works it was really fun and addictive :smile:
Like the others I had problems to understand what to do. At first I didn't see my character, so I thought I would control the mummy. Maybe you could highlight the character at the start. Nice graphics and sound. Cool game, well done :) Has the image on the top right any meaning? Is it possible to know where the items are without guessing?
@helen Yeah we should probably expand the explanation a bit more :sweat_smile:, the top right image shows the cooldown of your XRay ability which is bound to the E button. It reveals the location of the gems for a short time. Thanks for playing!
@zwikkelbaard Oh man, I missed that ^^" thanks - now it's easier to play.
This is impressive but confusing—I had a hard time figuring out whether I could actually go through any given doorway. The board shifts are well communicated and I was able to outrun the mummy for a good while at least, though I also couldn’t figure out where I was meant to drop off my gems or what “encumbered”-ness did. As many others said, the visuals are terrific, and the music added some nice atmosphere too. Well done!
Neat little puzzle game! Like any good gamer I didn't read the instructions and just jumped in so it took me a bit to figure out. I finally understood the turn wheel at the bottom and once I got that I had a fine time. I didn't realize there was the xray ability until after I beat so it is possible haha. I got that you couldn't take sertain directions because there wasn't a door there, but I think the doors could use a bit more contrast to reel set them apart and make it obvious. Also You can exit through a door and come out where there wasn't a door which didn't feel right? Good job though!
Very cool idea ! The only problem is that I had to quit the game 3 times before I had a game without bugs. Otherwise, it's a great game guys !
I really love the color of then poster and the play interface, good job!!! Also love the idea, use ancient mummy and grave match the theme very much!!!
It sounds like a fun concept, but when playing, it feels like there is very little player agency. The game just kinda does its own thing, and every now and then, I can move to a new square. Am I missing something?
It's a fun game. It's pretty challenging and took me a couple tries to figure out what was going on. I think the game would be just as good without the timer. There were a couple times where I got stuck and there weren't any moves so I had to wait until the level shifted again. I don't have a suggestion on how to fix it though.
This might have the best graphics of any Ludum Dare game I've ever seen.
These graphics are stunning! I wish I could have gotten the game to launch to my main window and not my vertical monitor D: It was just playable enough so at least I could enjoy the game! Really good job overall!
Great polished game! I like the idea, it is fresh and fits the theme just fine, also setting and graphics an music suport it really well. Although I enjoyed everything, it was hard to understand the logic and sometimes I couldn't see if there was a passage to another room. But it looks like finished product! Great work!
Top notch art and presentation, some great animation and VFX, but the core gameplay is a little jank, the character seems to get frozen or something regularly and I got out of bounds twice accidentally... There's also a really long delay between turns that just puts me to sleep.
The core concept is neat so I think it's just an iteration thing, more focus on snappy gameplay and responsiveness and a little more testing to spot bugs and you'd smash it.
Despite the issues it's really well done and the models are so good. Awesome work!
the game is very interesting, I liked it, the idea is good, continue at the same pace and you will become more professional
I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above
