Hey, good job on the game! I really liked the art style and the music fit really well. The sound effects were also very good - human made sound effects are always a plus. I actually managed to finish the game -that last level was a bloody ballache but very fun overall. Nice work!

Really nice game. I loved the sound effects and the leveldesign was nice too. Well done!

Great game ! The controls are responsive, love the music and the levels are well designed, you run out of space AND time ! :)
Plus we are happy to see a "temple raider" theme, we had the idea as well !

A really, really nice game (one of my favorites so far actually).
It's really dynamic and challenging, and the controls are so sweet! (especially the wall jump).
I like the die and retry aspect with the reset function.
Awesome work!!

Awesome Game!!! Great job guys!

Ceasar14 Aug 2018, 09:25

Awesome job dude. 10/10! Loved the gameplay.

Love it! The theme made this game what it is. I love the intense when everything is just closing around and you make the jump just in time. The wall jump was really cool, but I had a personal problem with it, being used to wall jump in Super Meat Boy: I was always trying to wall jump on the same wall, which isn't really possible.

Very fun game! Good job on the gameplay, and it is a cool take on the theme!

Very very cool game , the best of all I have tested so far

The game bas been a blast! The occasional wall sticking was a bit annoying at times, though. Also, it could use a bit of the spare time to jump if you lose grounding because you slipped off the edge.

Nats14 Aug 2018, 13:18

I love it!
All is good, gameplay, music, level design.

I would like more levels !!

Very good work ! :)

@klerembot It was a deliberate decision to make the wall jump work like that; we felt that simply being able to climb the walls would be too easy. You're not the only one who has mentioned this, though. Not sure how you would go about solving this :P

Wow! Good job! I liked it a lot. Nervous and very addictive! The graphical part and the level design are really neat

MZA15 Aug 2018, 16:48

This is good platformer. Really enjoyed it. I was stuck on a level for at least 15 mins though. Maybe its my reactions or maybe the level is way too difficult. Is this level:

Best game of LD42!

mrjorts18 Aug 2018, 14:44

Enjoyed this a lot. Learning the sequence of the walls coming in and planning your route around them is a fun and unique type of platformer level design. The last level was especially enjoyable to figure out. Great sounds too.

drikdrok24 Aug 2018, 07:47

Easy 5/5. Super polished and fun. I really dig the soundtrack! Great job guys!

danielblanco3d24 Aug 2018, 16:42

Impressive level design, everything is so well finished...and it fits the theme in a really clever way.

MutsKun24 Aug 2018, 19:57

i loved it, one of the few LD games that really got me to feel excited while playing.

Wassim24 Aug 2018, 21:17

Good game, Nice sound effects and levels!
Good luck!

bog1324 Aug 2018, 21:23

Nice polish !

doomshmuck24 Aug 2018, 22:03

Nicely done, very good game. The one thing is that a lot of the levels felt like they had a good amount of trial and error and only one real solution, which doesn't feel great in regards to game design.

Xyloking1725 Aug 2018, 01:19

really loved the game. best so far I've tested. Took me forever to beat the last level, but I loved the challenge. Really great game.

Firebelley25 Aug 2018, 16:51

Really well done! Some of the levels were quite challenging. Nice work!

GreenAndSubmarine25 Aug 2018, 17:53

Nice game! Levels seem to be well planned, sound and art are pretty cool. Pretty nerveracking!

CristiHKJ26 Aug 2018, 11:40

Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D

reizoukin26 Aug 2018, 12:28

Great, simple game! The moving walls have a really cool visual effect as well

Logicon21126 Aug 2018, 23:40

Game is really great. Would love to know where to find the other Tomb Robber games. Glad to see another team with an ongoing series.

Nice game, I hope to see more updates and improvments sooner.
If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got:

Really fun game, truly. The graphics, introduction, mood, audio were all so perfect. Not being able to jump upwards on the same wall was a bit jarring, but that was part of the game and made it challenging. I couldn't beat one of the later levels, wish it mentioned level # at the top.

Overall extremely well done, you should definitely think of doing a post-jam update to the game, this is really fun and something I'd expect a lot of people would enjoy!

Wow nice game really loved it ! Awesome job ;)

Renier27 Aug 2018, 19:52
