Egyptian Labyrinth by Logun
~~ EGYPTIAN LABYRINTH ~~
EDIT : Post Compo with better controls (just change EDSF for classic arrows move, don't listen to the splash screen saying it is old silly EDSF keys) + Souces fixed.
EDIT² : .capx added.
TL;DR ?
Start with "A", move with "EDSF" (stupid choice, dunno why I did that), open doors with spacebar and put a torch on the floor with "J", restart by clicking on the stone panel.
~~ Description :
You have to escape from this Egyptian Labyrinth, before you get out of air (5min). Your only chance : find the Golden Key which will reveal and open the only exit door.
But you are lost in a shapeless labyrinth, a constiniously changing maze. How could you open that chest if you can't find it anymore when you finally get the key ?
Only the light of your torches can fix them. Put torches on the ground and continue to move. But there is not a lot of them in those ancients ruins...
~~ Pro tips :
1) Walk carefully in the corridors, pits are everywhere !
2) When you find a chest or the Golden Key, put a torch on the floor, and try to keep that light alive.
3) If you are out of torches, you will use your lighter. Not very efficient, but better that nothing. Try to find new torches on the ground ! (can't carry more than 10)
~~ Details :
- I don't know if the game is pretty easy or very hard. It could be very different from one game to another. Didn't have many times to tweak it. Give me feed bacxk I will enhance it in post compo.
- Sometimes the game bug when you die and restart, click in the center of the splash screen must help. Temporaly fix. Better is too reload your web page.
- I designed a logo and a proper splash screen, but hadn't proper time to put it in the game, so there is a very ugly starting text at the beginning.
-Some items appears twice. Will fix it in post compo too, you can stillf inish the game, just a bit easier ^^

Other than that, great job!
Also, looks like I found a bug: I managed to find the key and the door, but the key disappeared from my inventory when I tried to open it.
And another thing: You can't use that shout sound if you didn't make it. It's against the rules.
Otherwise the game is simple, solid and fun.
P.D: Sorry. I've made op-out the ratings of my game by error :-( You can vote it now
I thought the game was very hard at first, but once you understand you have to walk carefully, it's pretty easy.
It's an egyptian temple afterall, not a kindergarden !
Instead of that, Nice Game!
The torch\maze mechanic is really clever and interesting, adding a lot of fun to the game
It's a hard title, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. A little difficult to grasp at first, maybe even because of "uncommon" controls.
Has some minor bugs, such as: the game still runs on background sometimes, after you die and go back to the "intro\help popup".
