Protozoic Escape by AnaglyphCoding

[raw]
made by AnaglyphCoding for LD36 (JAM)
You are an explorer stuck in a vast and mysterious temple.
You must use your interpretations of cave drawings in order to boost your chances of survival.
Can you escape all 20 rooms of the temple alive?

The goal is to use items around you you reach the small red button somewhere on the screen and advance toward the final level.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
A to walk left
D to walk right
SPACE to jump
E to pick up items(torches, parachutes, pow blocks etc.)
ESC to pause
P while paused to toggle lighting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:
This is my first time packaging external resources in a java program. Please let me know of any difficulties you encounter.

Nice game! I really like the graphics style :)
On the first level i got the parachute and decided to play around with it, died in the lava pit to the right and after the game restartet, I suddenly hat two characters, while only one was controllable. The game seems to count them both as your main char, because picking up the parachute gave it to both of them. Hope this helps ;)
It is quite difficult, but fun to play!
+1 for java :P

well done, a little bit hard towards the end though, however i like the graphics, the mechanics with the cloth to glide above lava and the torch that scare ennemies off are cool ideas, too bad you got no music :( but hey other than that it's a good entry :)

This was really cool. Lots of uncommon mechanics that made it feel unique. I can't believe I beat the state where you have to jump over the lava past the cages. Good work.

Great game cool concept, it reminds me of Indiana Jones if he had a game, anyway love the simplistic art style, it was hard at times but fun to keep trying and try to beat it, well done and congrats.
