You are an alley cat that's been possessed by the ancient Egyptian god Bastet. Your mission is to fix the pyramid power plant by putting all the gems back in the area under the benbenet. Once placed, you can escape to a safe distance.
The tekhenu or obelisks will be your waypoints, as you negotiate a rage inducing granite maze .
Avoid the giant ancient circular saws , spikes and flame shooting faces.
The intro cutscene where the cat looks left and right is absolutely adorable! The animations are so fluid and full of character, which makes the whole possessed alley cat concept shine. The pixel art and the ancient Egyptian power plant theme look amazing for a 48-hour solo project. It is definitely a hardcore platformer! I think I fell on the spikes at least 10 times in the first couple of minutes, but despite the high difficulty, the controls feel responsive (the wall dodge and crouching are nice mechanics). It's quite challenging, but definitely beatable for those who love high-stakes platforming! Fantastic work! If you have some free time, I’d be super happy if you could check out my retro-tech ASMR cleaning game as well!
@ynukym-academy - I had a quick play - it works really well with a graphic stylus lol ( I use a wacom for digital painting ) - does your game work with Mobile / Multi-Touch? I'll rate tomorrow as it's late here and not open yet. ✌
The graphics are great, lovely colors and shading.
The gameplay was quite difficult, and a bit frustrating at times. But I got the feeling that was intended. It really sucked me in. I played for about forty five minutes, died close to three hundred times and got all the gems. I spent some time searching for where to go next before I checked the itch description again. The top of the pyramid!
Almost at the top, I fell down into a pit it was very difficult to get out of. I just wanted to hit some spikes and restart at the obelisk I had touched near the top, not the one close to the pit and have to do the whole climb again. In desperation, I tried some keys on the keyboard. Maybe there was a key for resetting at the last checkpoint? Maybe R?
Big mistake. R seems to reset the game? 😆
Too bad, I would really have liked to see the end.
I got a screenshot earlier in the run, back when I hadn't even died 200 times :P
Really fun and well made game. The level design was great!
Here's a little piece of fan art of the lovely protagonist :)
@vidarn Ah nooooo! Yeah, it's very frustrating. I just tried for a best time myself, got it down to 25 minutes haha. I think 'cos I built it in sections, I probably made too many routes mono-directional.
If you wanna see the end, I forgot to remove the debug so you can just hit 1 on the keyboard and fully stack the gems. You still have to get out. ( Wall-Dodge + Left Arrow to do a super-jump - timing is everything )
I may do some tweak to the wall dodge if a lot of people complain, I know I still struggle getting it 10/10 times.
hohooooboi! That was punishing! but in a fun was as I am not great at platformers :D Lovely art and audio and I LOVE the way the cat snuggles down to crouch. Great Job!
