Thank you so much! We are glad you liked our game. ❤️
Yup, your reference to the Golden Idol games is spot on. I saw the developers at a games convention giving a speech about The Case of the Golden Idol and The Rise of the Golden Idol games a few weeks ago. They are from Latvia, we are from Estonia, and the convention was in Lithuania (these are all three small Baltic countries in Eastern Europe). I was inspired by the game mechanic and wanted to try making something similar in this jam. 😅
If you're curious, they just put the recording up on YouTube.
You are totally correct in your criticism. The third scene/puzzle is not that well executed. We thought that might be the case, but ran out of time to test it and improve it. 🥲
Would love to try creating more puzzles in this format. I hope there will be more Arcjams in the future to further experiment with it. 😊
