Anything with Pyramids and Egypt im hooked ^_^ smart choice!

Liked the concept and the art but wish the 3 blocks at start to be faster, it's kinda slow start but then when you hire builders its so satisfying to watch, also loved the music!
Now we know how the pyramids was build :D

I really enjoyed this game! Simulation games like these were always my favourite since i was young but i have to say I dont really know what the other 3 buttons do i just spam clicked the slave button and the "speed"? button like 3 times 😭 and got like 5m 46s. Really great music and art and I loved the over all vibe!

Submitted

Really captivating artwork and the music is great. These types of games are fun. It must be really cool coding up one of these systems and watching it start to take off. 

Developer

Yes it is. My computer could run in Editor with 200 workers xD

Submitted

Quite tough in the beginning when you can only click and the stone gets off from under the mouse. But the theme and the visuals were really nice

I wish it had touch controls. It would hurt my finger less. Also I was not aware you could move to the left and right of the screen, or zoom out for a while. It's a simple, yet beautiful game. The worker Ai seems surprisingly complex.

Developer

Yeah I refined the code for the workers 3 times xD

So sad I missed the line of code for the slider "side of pyramid" T-T

Submitted

Simple but fun. Wish there was something more to buy/upgrade rather than slaves well-paid professionals, but I guess simplicity is sometimes way better than overcomplicating games ;)

I agree with you ! :)

I wrote down tons of ideas on a list but I couldn't do much more in 3 days xD

I got the pyramid done in 6m38s. It's fun to watch them go

the concept is great and the art is just really beautiful, I was thinking this would work really well as a screen saver

Submitted

cool art style! i love the idea of the mouse  how it can control the view, it is creative but i may not get the point that i can buy the mouse?to do with what?

Developer(+1)

Thanks ♥

It increase the strength of the click. You can push the stones with more power :D

Submitted

I was about to quit when I found out how to make workers do the job for me, while I just watch and listen to the music! :D cool idea, I like the style and music, and how cozy it is to just watch them work :) great work!

Developer(+1)

Always better to look at workers working than working yourself xD

Submitted

Cool! I like the style of the game, it's simple but nice. 

The guys are really addictive to build!:)

Submitted

I love clicker games, and building a pyramid brick by brick is a fun concept. However, I did not really get to watch the pyramid be built. I was either clicking on the bricks and not seeing the progress being made, or I was watching the pyramid and doing nothing. 

Submitted

Oh soooo satisfying. I love myself a good idle clicker! I could see how this could become a whole thing like cookie clicker!

Submitted

Really enjoyed playing it. Very satisfying.

Submitted

Really well done! Minimalist and relaxing

Submitted

Nice! I like how it fits the theme. Super satisfying to play. Well done!

Submitted

Love the idle building vibes of this! And the Egypt theme is cool 😎

Submitted

Sadly, I seem to have encountered a bug where all the stones got stuck in the same position. But it was a refreshing idea to be able to physically see your progress in a clicker game. That definitely increased the enjoyment.

The beginning was a bit weird for me, as I didn't understand I had to click the stone that often (the click had so little impact I thought I was supposed to do something else), but then I really enjoyed it. Nice little atmosphere and nice little spin on the idle game to actually see the workers do something and the progress.

I’m getting money, thank god pyramid builders are no longer slaves in 2024 lmao. Pretty creative game, tho a little repetitive, still very polished, the music and art fits perfectly.
