Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Alright that was very enjoyable. I had more fun trying to shoot stone at the people than trying to actually make a pyramid but anyway, it was great.
Excellent mood, and the game is so polished too.
Refreshing experience.

Very nice graphics, and it was a lot of fun to try and build a tower just to have it all topple over :)

Nice job, I found it a bit difficult to keep the mouse "in bounds" but a cool idea.

I wasn't able to built something that would looks like a pyramid but it was still enjoyable, espacially throwing rocks on the workers. Also the worker dance was funny.

It would be good to lock the mouse in bounds, because I was always moving it outside (it might be problem for web version only).

nice idea that would deserve some further work. maybe like on floor blueprints for different structures, palaces or columns and such. I like the npc animationzs that are sometimes non sense but funny like dancing or rolling on the floor. One of them poor dude finished crushed by a stone though :(

Nice graphics and audio but it's really difficult to place pieces where I really want to ^^

Thank you ll for playing and for kind words! Indeed, web version doesn't trap cursor for some reason.

I did my best to reenact building the pyramids in the most accurate way possible: making a giant stack of single blocks. I got to the point where Ra decided it was worthy of being his tomb, and then it fell over. I *don't* think it crushed him, but who knows. At least now I know that the Egyptians never intended their pyramids to be tombs, it's just that their leaders would always have said tomb fall on them when they were viewing the finished project.

I built an impressive monument to my god-king, but failed to squish any peasants in the process :( Great game, I like the low poly look and the music is perfect, well done!

Great job! I love the music. The controls were hard to operate (web version.) Very fun to play though.
