Yay, I got the world record! And the game called me a coward. :-P
Awesome game! Very cool and unexpected traps, simplistic 1-bit graphics, fantastic music! I love the music in this game.
Sometimes there’s no way to avoid death, and the game feels unfair because of it. It mostly depends on your luck, not skill. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are escaping a deadly temple, after all, against all odds! It adds more excitement to the game, though at the cost of players’ patience.
I think this game really needs a gamepad support, because my fingers got very tired of pressing arrows after playing for an hour. Sometimes player movement feels too sensitive, which caused me many deaths. An analog joystick on a gamepad should allow for better movement precision (though that might be an unfair advantage).
I’ve submitted my high score, but it’s not appearing on the leaderboard. :-( Is there a moderation period? Because I really want to be up there! EDIT: It’s there now!
Also, the Linux version is missing the
.pckfile. It would be great if you fixed it!Overall great job, it’s one of my favorite games in this jam!
Thanks so much! The feedback is amazing! I have now added console support and the .pck file
The music was open source : https://soundcloud.com/alexandr-zhelanov at Open game art . org
Cool game! The enemies where very unexpected in this game. Highest I’ve gotten was 18. I feel like the leaderboard is like a luck meter at this point XD
I've finally done it
Does the leaderboard not update immediately?
No, sorry. It has to post it to the server and receive it again
I hate the bombs so much lmao
As of writing this comment I'm tied for 10th place on the leaderboard (22). I've been trying to beat it for ages and I'm going to go back and keep trying after posting this because this game is so fun.
The music chosen is really good and mixing it with the fast percussion parts works pretty well. The art style fits well too.
I've only found one bug that makes arrows sometimes disappear. I think it's been happening when a wrecking ball falls on an arrow but I'm not sure.
The traps all feel unique and make the gameplay quite unexpected. Some more sound effects might be cool. Sounds for each trap would make the gameplay feel even more eventful, like a sound for the wrecking ball falling, spikes coming up, bombs exploding etc.
Thanks so much for playing and all the feedback! I really like the idea of sound effects for each trap. Will try and add that.
This is a super simple and fun little platform game. I overall liked the chosen music and the games visual style.
Nice & tough game, good job!
Thanks
Fun game, feels like a lost arcade game. Since it's random, some runs can feel unfair.
Thanks for playing and the feedback.
Hi, for anyone who has played the game, or who will play the game. I was wondering what you all thought of the future of this game. If it should stay as a small jam game or maybe released as a mobile game or on Steam etc. Any other suggestions are also welcome
The game is differently a fun little jam game. You could perhaps make a free mobile version of the game. To be honest I would not buy this game if it was on steam.
Very enjoyable game. I like the little hat animation and it is getting very challenging after 5-7 points.
I love the music and would prefer to have it transition more smoothly between respawns. This could be either with fade-out/fade-in effect , use a different sound/music when dying or even just keep playing the music without restarting.
Thanks for playing! Thanks for the feedback. I tried to do a fade transition during the jam but couldn't make it and moved on. I will hopefully add it in soon.
I have added a fade transition and kept music playing
A really well-made and polished game. Loved everything about it! I thought I would just play for a few minutes, and ended up being in the game for much longer because it was so addicting :DD It was a very good idea to include the leaderboard, that really motivates people to beat the highscore!
Thanks so so much!
This was pretty cool, and I especially liked the art. Well done :)
Thanks for playing
I love the visuals. The gameplay feels unfairly hard - like the spikes appearing at the ground, there's no way to tell that they'll be there.
But overall pretty good! Really like the atmosphere
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for the feedback! I could add hints to the spikes being there e.g. different floor tile
Thanks for everyone playing and giving feedback!
I have finally fixed the bug where the screen moves faster than the character. (among other bugs)
This means it is possible to beat the highest score!
awesome pixelart! the hat animation is beautiful!
Thanks so much! I drew the explorer during the game jam and thought the hat added a nice touch. :)

Really fun game! The simple graphics go very well with the gameplay and the randomization is very good, I especially liked the speed increase, it becomes quite tense.
Only "critique" i could think of is that sometimes there are unescapable cenarios, especially when jumping, like an arrow and a wrecking ball raising at the same time, maybe a small double jump could help.
But overall it is very good, an impressive that it even has a leaderboard, congrats!
And my record was 24.
Got Highest score last night! Also did a lets play as I'm trying to get a lot of submissions played, check it out, and let me know if you want me to add any more of your information to the desc.
Thanks for playing and making a video! You gave some good feedback. You could add that I have now fixed many of the bugs you mentioned
Yay first of the leader board with 26 :D
Though I found it very mean that the screen is moving faster than your character at some point xD
Overall an awesome game, very fun to play !
Good job !
Thanks for playing! 26 is brilliant! :D
Sorry, the character's speed is meant to keep up with the screen movement at the same rate. I think the numbers are slightly out.
I love the style of this one good job
The game is fun to play and the pixel art is quite nice. I love how you can "succumb to cowardice" or "succumb from eagerness" for going off screen.
I really liked the art of this game and its fun to play. Only thing I think need change (and its my opinion) is player movement is a little fast compared to camera movement.
(edit: ok my bad maybe camera gets faster afterwards as mentioned in comment below. I didnt get pass score 10)
