GAME
You're a adventurer who got trapped into a temple, the Temple of Loneliness, and you want to get out, but getting out comes with a price. You have to complete a series of challenges (puzzles) in order to get to the treasure room, but avoid the spikes because you only got one life.

The game is simple with cute graphics. There's some known bugs that I couldn't solve in time but they are so little that you wont even see them.

Please leave your comments if you liked the game about what is cool or not and, if you want, vote for my game if you really think it's good and it deserve your vote ;).

Thanks.

It looks cool and the puzzles are nice, but jeeze, death is way too harsh, it makes the game super frustrating to play! Especially with how long the intro is to go through every time. I quit out of frustration after just my fourth death on spikes!

Yeah I know I didn't have enought time to play test it completely. I should've make it restart only the level... But thanks for the comment appreciated :)

I added a version that is fun to play. In this new version, you now have 3 lifes and when you die you can press r to resetart from this level. This version can't count for LD but if you want to finish it without rage quitting it's probably better.

Cute graphics and decent concept but as you've no doubt already realized, having the player have to restart the game after every death was a huge oversight which will cost you dearly muahhahaha. And now that I've rated this version, I'll go ahead and give the 'fun' version a try :D

Your HowTo screen ruined the surprise :P hah.

Very neat concept, like Sokoban and gladOS had a baby. My only beef is that dying made me restart the whole game, including the "tutorial" levels. Otherwise, very enjoyable.

Extra points because we apparently have the same laptop model! :)

Quite excellent indeed. A bit on the baby-punching status and the original version with the menu screen after death and all, but still one of the best I've seen so far.

The game is fun, although not very original. I have to rate you very down on graphics because this is a 48-hour compo entry and you are supposed to make all the assets yourself within the 48-hours, but these graphics are from the Oryx tileset.
