Ranked from 23 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
The game has you diving deep into a dark tomb to plunder ancient spellscrolls, also, from the mechanical angle, the game has you slowly master the depth of the character controls to be able to beat the game within the time limit.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes! I made all of the code myself and my partner Thomas made all of the sprites and sounds.

Very cool. Traversal feels great, and I like the artstyle. A small map might be nice, but by no means a necessity.

Developer

Thankyou so much! We wanted that exploring and learning the environment be part of the process it takes to be able to beat the game in time. I'm glad you enjoyed.

really fun game everything is nice about it i would suggest to add a bit of music it can get kinda lonley or thats just me but overall really good job!!

Developer

Thanks again for playing! We were planning to include music but ran out of time, we might update it sometime to include it!

Very fun and I love the power ups, good job

Submitted(+1)

It's a fun game and the powerups feel great to use. Some of the crouch jumps are difficult to do but otherwise I enjoyed it. The art style is also nice and fits well. Good work

Developer

Thankyou so much!

A very interesting concept. I really liked the game.

Submitted(+1)

Very nice level design, blocking off parts that you can only go through by finding the other power ups, the ending felt anticlimactic and nothing special, but who am i to say that since my own ending is missing some of that umpf :)
Good job on the game!

Also maybe some delicate music in the back would be nice so its not so eary all the time? unless thats the vibe that you're going for then no problem

Developer(+1)

I'll be honest, the lack of music is more due to the fact we ran out of time than a conscious decision. Yeah the ending is a bit meh, if I ever revisit this game i'll be sure to redo it. Thanks for playing! We really made an effort in the level design so i'm glad someone is appreciating it.

Submitted(+1)

The game was fun; however, I think there were some errors with the level design because I was not able  to pass some areas; but, it might be due to me. Overall good job.

Developer

All the platforming bits are possible, but some of the crouch jumps are pretty hard. Thanks for playing and i'm glad you enjoyed!

A very delicated game. Combined the characteristic of Metroidvania games and roguelike games. You have obtain different kind of abilities to unlock different paths. At first you will be un familiar with the path but as you play it many times, you will have time to finish the game. The two long jump and crouch into a tunnel part is probably the hardest part, took me a while to figure it well. I think it would be better if there is a stronger connection with the theme. A well designed game overall. Great job!

Also, if you have time, please take a look at my game, thank you.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It seems you understand pretty well what we were going for. Thanks for playing.

Cool! I like the metroidvania concept, it makes the game much more enjoyable. The controls feel nice too.

Submitted(+1)

Nice game here, pretty solid metroidvania base, unfortunatelly I got stuck on a room after getting 4 power ups and didn’t finish the level :(

Developer(+1)

Ah the crouch jump got you, it's probably the hardest bit of the game but I promise it's not impossible. I'm glad you enjoyed what you got to play though :)

Submitted(+1)

Tihs is a pretty fun game! The graphics were a little confusing in terms of what was going on and honestly I didn't even notice the timer at first. But I do like the simplicity and the challange trying to get through while learning the new abilites. Good Job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! If you don't mind me asking, where you playing in full screen? I was having an issue where the time counter appeared super small when played on larger screens.

Submitted

That might have been it yeah, I think the issue would just be with the UI scaling for idfferent resolutions.

Submitted(+1)

I was able to beat if with only 2 seconds left hahaha nice game!

Developer

Nice! it's supposed to be pretty tight and not a whole lot of people have managed to get through the game so congrats!

Submitted(+1)

I loved this game, I thought it was really fun! I wasn't able to get past the part right after you get the ground slam spell, but maybe that's just a skill issue. Great job!!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! The part after the ground slam where you need to make a kind of precise crouch jump, or else you fall into a hole where you need to make a super precise crouch jump is super difficult, we included these sorts of sections cause we really wanted the player to try several times and master the movement truly, but maybe we went a little too far with those haha. Thank you so much for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The art style and gameplay is really great. Often i could not get through the smaller passages despite crouching, also a better treat of the player bias would be cool (like adding coyote time etc.). Still very cool game!

Developer(+1)

There is a bit of coyote time but I added it in a very spaghetti way and it's not super helpful, thankyou for the suggestion. Thanks for commenting and playing! Makes me happy to hear people enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed playing this game; it was quite fun, and the graphics were nice. I got a little confused at some points, like where you get the double jump spell. I was stuck down there and couldn't get out. had lots of fun playing.

Developer(+1)

It's supposed to be a little confusing! hopefully it wasn't super frustrating, i'm glad you had fun! Thank you so much for playing.
