In Pyramid Quest you play as an adventurer who delves deep into the corridors of ancient pyramids. His quest is to amass as much tresures as he can, while not running out of power. He only gets one chance to exit the pyramid alive.

If you fail, the game will end and you will have to start over, since you only have one life.

(Web version currently not working due to some weird bugs. :( )

Controls:
Move: WASD / Arrow Keys
Interact: E / ENTER / X / ALT LEFT

This was a fun game with some interesting level design, however I don't really see how it fits this Ludum Dare's theme.

@Lolshouse That is quite funny, since the you only have one life mechanic is close to the one you have in your game (which is fun to play btw.) just that we do not have a checkpoint :)

Interesting game, I love puzzle-doors mechanics and top view. With good graphics, the game would be amazing, good job!

I got stuck in a place after going through two holes where there were no keys, and only locked doors. Music is nice tho

Not bad! Great level design, and great to see an online high-score :). The camera felt like it fell behind a bit at times and, well, the art could've been better, but hey, nice work!

Like your hand drawn style, music has this nice egyptian vibe. Criticism: too much space for such puzzles, you could reduce this game into 8x8 grid and set maximum amount of turns to finish.

The music is gorgeous!

Interesting. Music is cool, graphics not so much. Oh, I think you could try to generate the maze procedurally! By the way, if it's your first game congratulations! Keep up the good work! :)

Good game, but it doesn't make a fun game. I was not motivated to do anything in the game... It's just collect gold and get score, like in the traditional Atari games...

Great job with the camera! I can't place what makes it different than usual but for some reason it was just more pleasant than most.

I don't see how it fits the theme. Camera is really weird -- if it was intended (for player's confusion) it works but don't do this ever again :D.
