The Elder Ruins by amkingTRP
A sort of puzzle / action platformer. My heart wasn't really in this theme, so I didn't really do much beyond basic programmer graphics, sound, etc. I quite like the general mechanics, but didn't really have time or inclination to create decent levels for it.

Simple mechanics with lots of depth.
I hope you continue with this, I'd love to play more levels with new puzzles!
Great atmosphere through art and sound, and the puzzles were engaging. A bit lower time to kill would have been nice though :)
The enemies added a small amount of challenge to the puzzles, but their A.I. was lacking. The last boss was a little underwhelming because you could just stand in one spot and unload on it without risk of dying, but I liked that there was a conclusion to the story afterwards.
Loved the learning curve, I've played a lot of games this jam where it was way too steep.
Overall, well done and congrats on finishing a game for the jam!
We learn more and more how to play the game just by the level design and that's a sign of promising games.
Really digging the atomsphere that came out of this. It might have been simple but really soothing.
For real, if you want to do something with this after the game jam, something good can work for real !
And you should have 20 reviews for now so congrats !
