This is a platform game. The concept of the Ludum Dare was "Entire game on one screen", and i made a little platform game about a explorer in a pyramid. You (the player) will die at first, but you will win if you escape more times than you die.
==The story==
The Pyramid of death is a cursed pyramid where the player tries over and over to escape from the pyramid. The curse will end if you escape more than you die :-)
==Controls==
[Left] Move left
[Right] Move right
[Up] Jump
[Enter] Start Game

Code: Game Maker Studio
Graphics: Photoshop & Aseprite
Sound: Bfx

Looks good. Nice graphic. Good implementation.
At first, at was not easy for me to see whats going on. Plus, its not easy to win ;)
(and honestly, after a while the sound gets a little bit a
annoying :D)
Neat little game. Cant give any ratings though. Did you Opt Out of them all?...
win on the first try, haha !
Well done, the game is pretty fun and the graphi style is good :D
It's not letting me rate this entry and I have no idea why, anyone else having this problem?
I really like this game too, reminds me of Spelunky a little ;)
I'll be back later to see if I can vote.
We are both egyptian lovers ^^
Very simple and funny game. I tried and retried a lot. But I can't rate it !! Let me know when you solved this problem, I have stars for you.
Oh man god it's hard. Just getting out of the first level is the next to hardest part! Good game though, challenging and great fit for the theme.
Love this one! Fully embraces the 'one screen' theme, and very playable, tight controls. 5/5 from me :)
This is amazing, i do like the theme. Great
But the first floor has a problem , sometime 'i' can't fall, please fix it.
Nice! The controls feel just right, you say you've got to escape as many times as you died to win, but I feel like I won just by getting out the once. :P
Pretty cool little game. Not too much in such a low res pixel art though
@Norgg If you escape at first you win. The idea is that is enought dificult to die the first time :-S You are a good player :-)
Man, those lava traps =P
That was a lot of fun, reminds me of those kind of twitchy, timing based platformers like Super Meat Boy. Great work!
Cool! Breaking the curse is almost impossible! D:
Good job, I enjoyed playing this (Also pixel art and sound were really really cool)!^^
I like the minimalistic pixel art style. Also the whole "win more often than you died" concept is really cool.
That was fun. Really nice idea and I love the monster design, especially the ghost following you.
The trapdoors might be slightly too narrow. You can get stuck sometimes and take damage trying to get in exactly the right spot to go down.
Fun little game, lovely graphics, and it's interesting that you need to escape more times than you die to actually win!
Fun game, like the graphics. Sometimes annoying to fall in holes.
It's all so tiny! Was kinda hard to see what was going on as you sprint through, it was mostly the incoming bullets that were an issue and luckily their damage was low. Fun little game though, nice simple controls and challenging difficulty to it. Good job
Great little game here. did it twice and then decided to stop :) good work though! Nice execution
Preety nice overal)
Took me a while to figure out that I should fall through the hole in the floor
Really cool graphics style and I like the egyptian theme and the pyramid.
Excelent graphical style! Fast simple platformer, loved it! Please add some music!!!
Using the UP button makes the game screen go up. :(
Ben.
Not bad, quite simple concept but good implementation of the theme and very fun ! Thanks !
I like this game a lot, It is incredibly fun to play. Put a timer on it so I can do speed runs!
Yeah, looks like a game from my childhood! It's neat!
Well done!
falling through these holes could be more intuitive. Nice pixel graphics.
A really solid game. Of course, wish it had more to it, as the idea, concept, and style was really fun. I would play it a lot more with some depth!
Great game. Simple concept but well executed and really fun. I died more times than I care to admit! Nice pixel aesthetic too.
Nice little game, I love the cute graphics! Good job on creating a level with so many traps on a single screen! ;)
Boom, one shot! Second game I found on this LD with a whole level on one screen and a very tiny character. I still think that's a good idea and it's nicely done here.
Great game! I have to agree upon that those lava traps at the end are quite unforgiving. If the theme was different, this game would be really fun to play with multiple stages! Good job on this, man (;
Game is fun. But I was expecting to see some additional difficulties when u complete 1st escape then 2nd etc.
Overall - good.
Hi there. Okay I see the point... it seemed unwinnable, maybe not, but the guns on third tier up kept getting me. Like the sounds. Nice design. Good job!
Damn, couldn't beat your game yet. But it's a really cool idea and a lot of fun. Well made :)
Awesome game all around!!! Would love to see it with randomly generated level for some extra evil points :D
Very cool graphics style and cute sound effects! I really like the way you laid out the obstacles and having that ghost chase you really adds more pressure and challenge. Well done!
Cool idea with the escapes/death ration to win. On my first try I didn't realize how to fall trough the whole on the topmost level, because I wasn't standing close enough on it. So the ghost killed me like you planed. :)
This feels very solid. A great entry!
The graphism are minimalist but, it's not choc me because it's going well with the univers. good entry !
Nice game, graphics are simple but well done. You made different traps, that good :D. I like the win condition.
Wow, you did a lot with one screen here, that's great!
The control scheme was very tight, too. When I got in the zone, a few times I surprised myself by quickly making a set of jumps (for example over the first lava part) perfectly just by reflex. That means your controls were set up well, I think!
I did experience two difficulties. First, the very first time I played the game I started looking at the screen. There was a lot of stuff and I didn't know where my character was. But within a second or two I started to take damage, quickly. I died before I even learned where to look on the screen. Perhaps the ghost should leave you alone in the initial room, and only chase once you pass through the first door. That way a new player can practice the keys and even figure out that he's at the top of the pyramid. Of course this didn't matter anymore once I learned.
The second problem was technical. I tried it in two different browsers, but it happened in both. I kept having trouble getting my guy to fall through the first door. I died many times from the ghost killing me in the first room while I was walking back and forth over the hole and not falling down. Because I died so many times up there, I did not try for the challenge of escaping more than I died - I died WAY more than I escaped. ;)
But those were minor problems and I thought the game was very effective once I got out of that first room. Nice job taking the theme seriously and stretching what you could do!
Overall a really clever idea but I cant get past those 2 large lava pits! Arghhh... Frustrating!
Cool idea. I didn't have any trouble escaping. It should have been even harder!

Wow, love the game. Those lava traps at the end are really evil xD.
