Raiders of the lost gems by Domantas
Play as a brave little adventurer and collect all the gems to obtain the trophy in this tiny puzzle game!
The egg at the end is reachable! But the solution to obtaining it is a bit more difficult than the levels themselves. If you are completely stumped and still want to see the solution, here's a video showing how to reach it: https://streamable.com/ixvocn

Solid game!
I got to level 20 but couldn't do that one. Maybe my brain is fried from LD, or perhaps I'm just dumb. It's late... I'll try it again tomorrow.
This is a really solid entry, though. If I had one criticism it might be that the player sprite has no outline but everything else does, so he gets lost a bit. Also a lighter background would make the blocks' outlines show up better. But that's super minor, and I'm only mentioning it because there's nothing more substantial to criticize. The graphics are already really nice and legible.
And I like that rotated not-quite-isometric projection you're using. You don't see it a lot and it looks great.
Oh, also, the effect when changing levels is really nice. I like it when LD games have little bits of polish like that.
I got every gem, but am I missing something about the egg? Heartbreaking that I cant seem to get it. Great job!!
The amount of mechanics needed and their rate of introduction was very well done. All in all this worked very nicely!
The way to get the egg at the end was brilliant, I didn't think about the fact that part of the old level remains and could be used.
What an amazing game. Loved the puzzle mechanics & got through all the levels °yeahi° :smile:
