Was not able to make it past xylophone, possibly provide a more feedback to the user for if they are on the right path.\r<br\/>Keep up the good work.\r<br\/>I am able to get into the xylophone by standing on the button and running, which breaks that aspect."},{"author_name":"Mikhail","author_uid":"42789","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:35am","epoch":1472531400,"text":"Good game.

The ending is a bit abrupt but of course that was due to lack of time.

I can't get enough of them. I always love 3D when it is done well. I'm super jealous! The picking up mechanic is great and really liking the puzzles.  Only needs a crosshair I think. I will be coming back to this one for sure."},{"author_name":"TeamKawaiiju","author_uid":"65838","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:43am","epoch":1472531880,"text":"@Drumsmasher17 and @simple_blue, the trick is reading the darker glyphs on the wall behind the xylophone. We were very concerned about this puzzle being too difficult when we were planning it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@olkeencole Image effects are a beautiful thing. I didn't know they existed until this weekend, haha.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>-Jeff"},{"author_name":"simple_blue","author_uid":"109556","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:53am","epoch":1472532480,"text":"@TeamKawaiiju I was thinking that, but I still had a hard time reading which ones were darking. One idea would be to make the order darker, remove the box around the first two, but then make glyphs not on the xylo darker, so the user would be able to figure out that you hit all the ones that are actually on the xlyo, versus having the ability to tell darkness. My apologies if too critical."},{"author_name":"simple_blue","author_uid":"109556","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:54am","epoch":1472532540,"text":"@TeamKawaiiju The game seems very reliant on being able to tell darkness. Also for the switch room, possibly make it so the switch comes back up if it did not work."},{"author_name":"irwatts","author_uid":"56905","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 4:56am","epoch":1472532660,"text":"I'm not sure if I'm too dumb or it's a bug, but I can't get past the first room.

DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THROUGH THIS NORMALLY.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This was fantastic. A few things.\r<br\/>First, xylophone room can be ran in to from the start, which traps the player below and forces a quit. Can be fixed by increasing distance.\r<br\/>Second, the urn room was really hard not because of the puzzle itself, but because the four urns were not in a line. This, coupled with the fact that the walls had the same pattern, made it very confusing as to what EXACTLY I was doing. I eventually figured it out, though.\r<br\/>Third, grabbing an urn and jumping on top of it lets you fly. This means you can get out of the level during the &quot;final run.&quot;\r<br\/>Lastly, I had no idea what the scary magic zodiac symbols were so I just jumped over them and carried on. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Awesome job all around. I'm impressed. :)"},{"author_name":"catchthefloaty","author_uid":"38619","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 3:11am","epoch":1472612760,"text":"really fun game. loved the puzzles."}],"images":["ld36\/65838-ab2042db56637196bdd21ea4e5af5823.jpg","ld36\/65838-876420747640e20d06bdfdf823bf614a.jpg","ld36\/65838-8b14e9c158ac10eb26f1efa972470464.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/bs7dnhtfbn2dvsa\/Topeka_Jones_-_Raider_of_the_Lost_Temple.zip","text":"Windows (Original upload)"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mediafire.com\/download\/4dbs9mhx7953do5\/TopekaJonesRev1.zip","text":"Windows (Post-Jam Revision 1)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"441","g_author":"65838","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"429","g_title":"Topeka Jones: Raider of the Lost Temple","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"19","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\/\/570486\/65838-shot0-1472521716.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/65838-shot1-1472521716.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/65838-shot2-1472521716.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Take on the role of the intrepid explorer, Topeka Jones, as he makes his way through a lost temple in search of the legendary idol.
