As the game theme was Entire Game On One Screen i decided to made a simpe adventure. Traverse the pyramid in search of gold! Collect keys, click buttons, step on dangerous traps. Have fun :)
Very nicely put together game; could have done with sound effects & music, but otherwise flawless! First one I've actually looked at the source for :) It's good to see a game inspired by the theme, rather than fitting the theme coincidentally... *cough* all those snowman games *cough* :P
Traps are basically just invisible walls that make you restart instead of not letting you past. Not really a fun thing to be almost done and die, and just have to memorize where all the traps are. It runs well, though.
Thank you guys for all of the response so far! Traps are crap I agree, I was adding them 2hrs before deadline and I wasn't thinking about balance enough :( Will do in the next LD!
I beat it eventually, mostly by sticking close to the walls and being suspicious :-)
I felt the traps were a bit too brutal -- invisible, no warning, instant death, all the way back to the start, player has to remember where the trap was. Still, I did eventually get through so it's not impossible :-)
The controls felt smooth and responsive, although it was a bit weird to move my hands to the mouse for opening locks.
A little audio -- even just a couple of dings and pops made in cfxr -- would go a long way.

Good job otherwise !

Good work!
