Game Description
Take a journey through time and explore the marvels of the ancient world in this 3D action platformer
How does your game tie into the theme?
I think ancient civilizations are really fascinating, so I made a game where you race through and explore famous structures and architectures from the past.

I love the use of many different ancient settings to provide lots of variety, there's a surprising amount of content! Each level felt unique to the era as well, and not just a reskin, really great job! The ending was a fun way to tie it all together :)
The controls felt really snappy and satisfying too!
Nice ancient 3D Speedrun platformer. It reminds me of the good old Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia days :)
Amazing 3d platformer, I had a great time playing it!
Very nice game, i love it i got 395 secs
Thank you for playing! Great time :)
Nice 3D platformer! It felt kind of like moving around in Minecraft, but with ancient structures! I'm impressed you built all these environments to explore / speedrun in just 9 days!
I got to the Colosseum before having to quit since I was feeling a bit motion sick, but that's not a fault of the game (Minecraft also makes me motion sick). Overall I really enjoyed it! It's a very atmospheric game.
A very simple game. But SO fun. I was a big fan of the old counter strike jump maps and this reminded me of them. I had a lot of fun. It's weird though that the camera always rotates to the right a bit.
Thank you for playing :) I'm not quite sure what you mean about the camera, it might be your mouse?
Possibly. Even when I didn't move the mouse, the camera rotated slightly. Maybe it was just my run, I'll try again!
That's weird, it does not happen for me. When I do not touch the mouse the camera is still. Over the years I've had times where dust or something gets under the mouse and it makes the cursor drift a little bit on its own.
Anyway, thanks again for playing :)
What a great entry! Not only does it feel like a complete game, but you managed to create four levels. I was impressed with how much you were able to accomplish. The art itself could use some polish, but the level design itself seems pretty solid.
Very fun! I liked how snappy and quick the controls felt. I think the jump maybe could have done with a fraction of a second more hang time in the air and it would have felt even better!
I fell. A lot. The checkpoints were a big help! The soundtrack was epic!
Pretty fun game. I really liked the Rome level. I would have loved seeing more traps :D
Game would benefit a lot from a better jump imo. Great entry!
Thanks for playing -- do you mean like being able to jump higher?
Really cool short platformer. I enjoyed playing it although I was falling a lot. Good work!
Great work on this one, well thought out timeline and different environments for each.
My times are..
.. not very good I know!
I learned a lot from this tutorial, it might help you too! :)
This was very fun! I loved the level design. You used the theme very well. My favourite was Greece. My total time was 233.7. Great job :D
Great game, I had fun with it! Also good that there is a total time score. Makes me want to beat it ! :D
Great use of the theme, well done for making so many assets that transcend such different worlds!
