I had a really difficult time after the fire starting coming down. Good job though.

I didn't get how to rock jump, but I found how to ladder-cheat-death :grin:

Fun game though :) Hit boxes are a bit strange, but we get used to it :)

Good graphics and fun gameplay, however I get stuck at one bit and the jumps are very exact.

When the fire start coming down, I fall down, and never came back to 3. floor. Nice game, but it's a little bit hard for me

I made it! We're saved! Wait, what? xD
Very fun and great gameplay, even though it starts as a fairly unoriginal platformer!
Loved it, well done!

I've uploaded a slight fix that makes finishing the broken ladder level much easier and more reliable.

Made it! Snakes probably should not fo as far as your spawn point is, so you won't respawn/die immediately :)
Otherwise, I think there could be more responsive controls and a better binding to the theme

It's a fun little game. I like the difficulty progression with new elements (gaps, fireballs, rocks) introduced as you climb the pyramid. The ending was a nice touch too! It's nice to see a complete game finished in time.

Nice take on the ol' snakes & ladders. I think if you die a full reset is in order as it's near impossible to get back up once the fireballs start up! Good ending though. :thumbsup:

Nice effort, i enjoyed the graphics, the gameplay was funny too, and jumps were very exact/difficults. Also i had some issues to find a sacrifice, but maybe it's my point of view who is different. Perhaps if you add a weapons who needs to sacrifice something to kill snakes and add a challenge, it could be funnier =). Nice game =)

Great looking game that is fun to play! I think the difficulty of your game scales up very well as you play through. I would love to see more levels, challenges, and twists to the gameplay. I thought your artwork looked really nice. Congratulations on making a complete game in 48 hours!

A nice climbing puzzle - the game escalates quickly which is fun. The graphics are cute and make it obvious that you gotta climb up to the top of the pyramid tot he altar, what to avoid etc without the need for a guide.

Once I reached the top the ending was funny, but then my screen just stayed red forever? It wouldve been good if it gave the option to replay.

@limnori: The red screen was actually intentional, to leave player some space to wonder about what just happened and if it was a good ending or not. But I see your point - it might have been better to give player an option to continue.
