Welcome to the Temple Of Minimal Benefit. Run and jump your way through the temple's dangerous traps to reach the treasure inside. Be warned, simply getting to the end is not good enough for the temple god, as each room has a unique Law of Minimalism.
The game can be pretty difficult, so I suggest you play Normal first.
The Post-Compo version has slightly edited movement and stages to be less annoying.
You are an evil, bad person, and your game is addicting as hell.
The level of polish on display is amazing! The game looks great and the levels, infuriating as they are, are clearly very carefully planned. I wouldn't be surprised if this game went viral like how I Wanna Be The Guy did. Big kudos, although I will never, ever play this again. I can appreciate what its trying to do.
Excellent entry. Im holding off on actually Voting untill I have played a fair few games as comparison, but this here is a good entry. Fits the theme nicely and is very well done.
I didn't bother getting past the room of turning because it was too frustrating. I'm not into these "I wanna be the guy" type games I guess. I think if I understood how jumping worked better, it might not be so hard, but I couldn't figure it out (namely the jump height).
Very cute and nice otherwise, and good interpretation of theme.
Sweet game. I'm embarrassed that it defeated me; I love frustratingly difficult games but I couldn't get through the room of minimal pits. I may come back later.
This is great! But I rage quit on the room of minimal pitfalls (hard mode xD). =X
My only complaint is about those damn spikes. Perhaps this would change the level design a lot, but... I think they should only kill when touched from the direction they are pointing at.
Wow...I'm amazed. I love the level of challenge behind each room's rules (I've reached the third one so far), not to mention the amazing visual polish. Brilliant entry, congrats! =)
This is one really though platformer. Although the idea is good, some levels were just stupid (min. Light) and others were not innovative at all (min. Time), I enjoyed the rooms with jumping and turning and greed the most, maybe you should have focused more on this things, and maybe combined them, that way you could create some sort of complex puzzles. Needs a restart button, but overall I really liked it. (PS.: Deaths <= 10 ... ARE YOU FRICKING KIDDING ME?)
This is by far my favorite game from the compo. I finished it with "minimal deaths" and got the secret treasure. I enjoyed every moment while I played this game. It reminded me of the best moments of playing VGs back in the 8bit - 16-bit era. Exemplary game making and level design talent.

(Also, if I understand you correctly, the music wasn't made during the compo, which breaks the rules. Was it supposed to be a Jam entry?)
