A screenshot you can hear:

In short:
Will you make it to the entrance of the Temple? And what will you find inside?
With a little patience, a few swearing and a few attempts, you will find out!

Inspirations:
I reproduced in the browser, as faithfully as possible, the first level of a game released 39 years ago (1983) for Commodore 64 named Aztec Challenge.

The graphics are obsolete by any modern standard but the gameplay and above all the music are still excellent.
With regard to music, several remakes of that hypnotic melody have been produced over time and I have included them all (asking the authors for permission).
In this way it is possible to face the first level with the original theme (PAL or NTSC) in the background or with one of the other remakes.
The original game is quite difficult, I tried to smooth out this difficulty a bit without making it too easy.

Technicals:
Technically, everything was written in plain HTML / CSS seasoned with a good dose of Javascript in ECMA6 (then compiled with Webpack).
The game is responsive and should (hopefully) work on any device even though IMHO it definitely performs better on Desktop.
The graphics resources were (patiently) taken from the original game as well as the music and sound effects (for these my friend Anton gave me a hand by hacking a snapshot of the game and by removing the music thus allowing me to record the sound effects smoothly).
Old games are a great reservoir of ideas, teachings and gameplay: I personally find them great for practicing doing something in modern programming languages.

Have fun to those who will try it!
