I wasnt sure what to do once I died, I restarted the game every time, for some reason after some of the restarts hitting enter did not press 'A'. I wasn't sure if falling through the floor was something I was suppose to do, given that it deducts life I guess not. After entering a room I sometimes entered onto a baddie, which made the game very difficult. I liked it, thanks"},{"author_name":"lalanl","author_uid":"19437","time":"Sep 6, 2013 @ 5:25am","epoch":1378444800,"text":"I kept thinking the doors would open if I walked into them with a key, but I couldn't figure out how to open them."},{"author_name":"lordjosephdeburg","author_uid":"13718","time":"Sep 14, 2013 @ 11:45pm","epoch":1379202000,"text":"plays well and reminds me of the original zelda. cool game"}],"images":["ld27\/5232-678a0fd19b846d300968ba68ab56aea7.jpg","ld27\/5232-7ff2fc48d9bb1f8d776064d17bb9ac93.jpg","ld27\/5232-01fcbcfbd0bb82b40dc44de75caeb6c7.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/bit.ly\/16GOvNF","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/bit.ly\/15daqST","text":"Windows (w\/o XNA redist)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"23226","g_author":"5232","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"23256","g_title":"Sacred Scarab","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"341","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/5232-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/5232-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/5232-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You've managed to find your way to the very top of a great pyramid.
