yeah lol indiana jones influenced this game quite a bit aesthetically. loved those movies as a kid and I would play the lego game a lot. but I didn't intend to make the protagonist look like indiana jones ^^; I feel honored have them compared to him tho!!!
if I were to choose a specific source of inspiration for this game, the primary inspiration for the gameplay was actually a roblox game called flood escape! it's a multiplayer game where there's 3 levels, and you have to press blue buttons to make your way to the green button, which unlocked the gate to the next level. I played it a LOT a few years ago, and played it quite a bit during the development of this game to get inspiration for level design.
flood escape is a pretty high stakes game and takes a lot of teamwork, and I always found it really fun. I would find myself stressing to find the fastest way to the button as well as going through some parkour and tricky-ish jumps to get through the gate. I basically just "stole" this concept, ditched the multiplayer, and used it for this game. was pretty fun to mess around with ^^
sorry for the long response. wasn't my intention. I just like talking about this kind of thing haha
