Woo-hee! You've descended into an ancient tomb, ready to loot its wonderful, err, loot. However, it seems that there's something strange going on in the tomb. It's like.. There's some mechanisms that, well, change things.
Hope you like it! Arrow keys to move, space to jump.
I spent about 15 hours total working on this (6 hours on Saturday, 9-ish on Sunday). It was done from scratch using libGDX, Artemis-ODB, Android Studio, Psycle, Audacity and GIMP.

Nice. Super smooth graphics and sound.
Platformers stress me out, but the Super-Meat Boy style of instant respawn makes it a much better experience.
The graphical effects and music give this game a really nice atmosphere! The gameplay is pretty standard, but the smooth controls make it fun to play anyway.
This game is one of the most complete feeling that I have seen in this LD. I live your sound, and the little things like the effects when jumping and landing. I think that your art style worked very well with the platformer style game that you put together, making this a very fun game to play. Some of the jumping challenges seem a little harsh, but that may be my inexperience with jumping talking. Overall very well done.
Very nice! Loved the visuals and the music. The main character was just so cute <3. I also really like the way the level seamlessly (for the most part) morphs around you as you progress. It made me really feel like I was getting lost in an ancient tomb. Great work!
The platforming feels very nice, other than some bounding box problems - at least to me, it looks like spikes are smaller than they really are. Someone else mentioned the occasional tile tear, too. Otherwise, really nice!
controls feel immediately familiar, as if I played this game before
music is really cool
art is nothing special, but works well
Really liked this entry, feels like complete game.
Well done!
This is right now the most enjoyable game at this compo. Art is top-notch and definitely so music and sfx (though sfx could be gained a few db imho ). Control is fluid and I like how you've worked with dialogues, screenshaking and such.
Impressive work for 48h
top notch quality right here, the sprite, easthetic, and music overall are high quality, put very well together
the game theme nothing exceptional, but the puzzle execution quite good, control is smooth and really fun
probably one of the best 2D game so far
somehow graphically its remind me of "Lone Survivor" :D
This is a very well polished entry indeed. Incredibly impressive for 48 hours. Those spike stairs were a constant reminder of how much I suck at platformers :P
*Entire room shakes* "Something is funny..." "Did I get a new haricut?" "Must be it."
Haha. Really love how polished it is, and +1 for LibGDX! Could have included WASD, though. I think you should continue it.
Oh, much better screenshake than mine too ;)
Awesome artstyle, great pixels! Got that good retro vibe. Solid game!
Really groovy, man. The way that the levels shifted around made for a nice twist on classic platforming.
The controls feel really excellent, which is a great accomplishment for a platformer made in 48 hours. Also, like others have said, the music and graphics are spot-on.
I love the art style! :P
Looks so finished and pulished,
congrats for the entry!
Solid level design, I always thought there needed to be more pyramid maze type games out there.
Other than a few glitches (not able to walk over a tile, teleporting during a tomb transition) everything about this game is wonderful. Well done.
22 minutes to beat i may go back and try and do a faster time very fun. Only one bug if you get "Crushed" by a platform it thinks you're hitting your head and puts you in a jump state and makes it so you can't jump the way to fix it is get crushed again and spam the jump while being crushe. Vary fun.
Hi, nice game and congratulations ! Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
@steph88 Thanks! I added the game to the site, feel free to include it in the video. :)
This game has simple yet fun mechanics, AWESOME graphics and fitting music. The theme was fulfilled and the level design was perfect. As a LibGDX developer I downloaded the source and will try to examine and understand it. The last level was too hard for me to beat tbh, but I had fun. Great work!
@lb1s Thanks! Feel free to tweet me @dManabreak if you wanna chat about the source, I'm more than happy to share my thoughts. :)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Really fun (Slow start thought)
Feels polished, although occasional tile tear.
Fun game. I think this'll be at least in the top 200.
