This was fairly fun to try and finish. Like other comments have suggested, I think the game had some room to fit in more horror elements in it to fit the jam a bit more. I enjoyed the dialogue with the sarcophagus and found it fairly amusing, as with the whole concept of dragging it around. Though I will say it was fairly common for the rope to clip through walls around corners, causing the sarcophagus to get stuck. Not sure if this was intentional mechanic or not, but I felt it added unneeded pressure when trying to escape.

Overall, I believe the game just needs some finer detailing and improvements to the atmosphere, but otherwise a solid game.

Really cool game mechanic, could make for a fun multiplayer game. Pretty funny and good audio design, especially liked the "animal crossing" style voices. Definitely fleshed out with some better assets and I think it could be pretty fun as a full game. The last level filtered me though haha, the spike in difficulty really got me.

Good game! The setting really creeped me out and falling was scary. Love the dialogue sound from the mummy

The dialogues were really funny, but also so long. I wish I could accelerate them.

It doesn't seem too much horror, but time limits and the ground falling added a lot of pressure

I loved this so much! I thought the dialogue was funny and goofy without being too silly somehow.

The visual design was really unique and cool, I liked how you went with the pixelated textures but used smoother models, Sarcophaguy's model reminded me of those old toys Mighty Beanz.

I thought the crumbling floor was really cool, having the ability to jump over pits was not something I expected to be able to do but made gameplay much more interesting as I could jump over a gap I had previously made.

Overall it doesn't feel that spooky, but I did like the time limits they added pressure to the game in a good way.

I loved escaping from the pyramid with Sacorphagus/guy!

It was so funny, especially the dialogues and the death scene with Sacorphagus falling lol.
I found the game a little difficult, but that was because I'm terrible at it. I finally managed to do get out thanks to the tips.

I liked the idea of the pyramid eroding because of the player., really good work!

This is absolutely a nit-pick, but as someone that isn't super into funny dialogue I was wishing for a way to speed up the dialogue lol, but that is more my problem than yours :P 

I think the erosion theming is pretty clear here and I like the concept. I didn't entirely think it was also necessary for the mummy to specifically say that it would ERODE since the curse is making the ground erode but that's ok lol. Controls were responsive, thematically made sense, and the difficulty seemed right.

If anyone sees this on the submission page but can't get the game to run try using a diff browser. It ran basically not at all for me in chrome but completely fine in firefox.

Thanks for leaving a comment! I was considering adding a way to make the dialouge faster, and even I added a way to skip it for testing purposes because even I got tired of it, but removed it because it wasnt polished. Thanks for suggesting using a different browser, im using edge and it works fine, so if anyone else stumbles across this try using another browser.
