Ahh, the marvelous technology used back then to construct enourmous landmarks This game lets you soak in nostalgia as you can relive the glorious days. - Includes 2 FREE theme packs - Realistic and authentic game play - REAL TIME!!!
--- This is my go at ancient technology I'm fairly happy - the game is quite polished, has sound and most of the graphics have been revised aswell
webfreak001 has made an unofficial custom level browser over here: https://imer36.webfreak.org/ So if you want to make some custom levels or (if anyone made and shared any) play some custom levels head over here: https://imer36.webfreak.org (Again this is not made by me, I have no control, I'm not moderating it, so there may well be nsfw stuff over there knowing the internet - you have been warned)
Making your own level: You need 1. Your texture Just a texture with the building 2. Your level json Containing level settings The format is described here: (or on webfreaks website)
Very cool game! I had a similar idea for my project but the it evolved in something paced very differently. The controls where good but calibrated to the point that it's not easy to get the shape right. Btw I encountered a bug when I tried to drop a lot of blocks quickly, the game kinda got stuck while looping the collision sound.
Holy crap that blew away my expectations. Hit the theme perfectly and you did the pyramid building mechanic differently and much better than others I've seen this LD. Thanks for not forcing us to have a minimum grade before proceeding cuz that would've been rough...
Really nice game here! I like this building concept by dropping the elements one by one, easy to play (harder to master), and the previzualization window is a nice touch to understand better.
I enjoyed this game; it was nice and simple. The game is funny in a good way, with its story and how you get graded after construction. Really great job with this.
Love the concept and high-five for creating it in SFML. Game gradually gets harder which I like a lot. Game is also very easy to understand how to play and very simple. Great work.
I think this is one of the best games I have played this LD. A very simple, but fun mechanic, that is well executed. Simple graphics that still look good and serve their purpose well and crisp sound effects. The building is a lot of fun and not too easy, but possible if you are patient. Also, the interpretation of the theme is hilarious ad very creative. Well done!
Fun game, but completely FAKE! My game has proven that it was impossible for aliens to build the pyramids without external help (I'm not saying it was Egyptians...)
Very challenging, fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/hC8B45eG0n0
Awesome use of SFML! :D The Linux build doesn't really work for me (and I'm frightened of that because I too have made a Linux build of my SFML game, so it probably doesn't work on other PCs too...) but I ran the Windows version through Wine with no problems.
The idea itself is great, too bad it's so short as I had a lot of fun building all that stuff. Well, at least I'm sure I wouldn't be a good alien worker.
Graphics matches this type of a game, but I'd love to see some more work on the background as it's really plain. Sounds are good too.
Bonus points for simplicity, I hate to read through 8 pages of tutorials!

Very nice game! Great idea, not so many levels to play but great replay-abillity due to always wanting to get a higher grade.
very simple to play, very straight forward, congrats for that.
Dunno if it is intended but it is possible to turn the blocks upside down by swinging them around pretty hard.

I probably should've put a cooldown on dropping
I think highlighting of the current part would be better than darkening it.

Sphynx' head get's stuck on the ufo :)
