Every square dreams of becoming a circle...

Meet Cubert -- he's exploring the ancient pyramids, trying to get rich and avoid the traps.

Well, it's our first game ever :) Needs bit more polishing but it seems that we're out of time.
The idea is to collect as much coins as possible (at least 70%) before the time runs out, avoid collapsing walls, and run out of the door. There are two boosters -- speed booster and one that allows you to fly over obstacles. Levels can be configured by editing the *.map files.

TODO:
* Add health
* Add more levels
* Go to the next level when won
* Add enemies that also steal coins
* Fix messages to a proper English :laughing:

Graphics and sounds are original.

To run you need Python3
`pip3 install pygame`
`python3 ./game.py`

Also we'll be providing Linux64 and Windows self-contained builds on the GitHub.

Tools: pygame

Nostalgic design. The reason for the loss is not clear.

Great submission for your first game! The sound was really loud (like, really loud), and when I was lowering it, it played the loss music, and it *hurt*. Other than that, it was pretty good!

@zabenderman we're still figuring out the PyGame :-D Thanks for your feedback. Planning to keep working on the game further as per TODO list to get something solid :)

@fatemperor It's raise against the time where you need to collect 70% of all the coins. But because walls are collapsing on you, there's a chance that they'll cover more than 30% of the coins laid out. We wanted to make it difficult :laughing:
