Hi !

I’ve made this quick game :
The Temple of Doom

It’s open source.

Escape the temple !
Controls : Arrows, Space Bar

It was very fun to make, I hope you have fun playing

I like the controls and style, but i somehow don’t know to get over that wall after the third diamond

[felixmariotto]

Thanks !

You mean here ?
You must jump on the column to jump on its second level, so you can reach the “footbridge”.
Do you think I should lower the difficulty here ?

[Fyrestar]

Oh! Yeah i thought that could work, but the tentacles are super close behind if you collect all diamonds, maybe making that a little easier for beginner would be good

Good work

[felixmariotto]

Yeah it’s super hard when you collect all the diamonds !
Thanks for playing

Funny and cool atmosphere

[felixmariotto]

Thanks ! No reply yet from Chris Keya for using his music
I will add it later on if he agrees

[Mugen87]

I love the simple and minimalistic style of the game. And it’s open source! Like it

[Aerion]

WOW @felixmariotto! Am absolutely LOVING game! <3 Keep up the great work!

[DolphinIQ]

VERY cute game! Also runs smoothly on my primitive work laptop. Gonna try more at home

@Mugen87 @Aerion @DolphinIQ thanks for the kind words

[moritz4]

I got 49 seconds. Good game

[prisoner849]

By the way, any plans to make it playable on mobile devices?

[felixmariotto]

Yes, but actually I’m still thinking what would be the best option…
I could put run forward/backward on left thumb, and jump/switching track on right thumb, but I’m afraid it will lead to untimely track switching and frustrating deaths.
I could also make a kind of virtual joystick on left thumb, with which you go forward/backward and switch track, but I wonder if it will be convenient…
Because I don’t know what is the less worst option, I’ve postponed doing it.
Any opinion on this ?

I thought about that layout and a “button” for jumping on right thumb )) or the other way round

[Aerion]

@felixmariotto : You are welcome! For controls, I would enable the player to move left if holding right then left, and left if holding left then right. so there is freedom of the movement

[DolphinIQ]

Hey, Im back in full glory!

It was a fun challenge finding the gems (i kept missing the one on the bottom of the stairs ) and switching the rows. I found lag spikes frustrating as they would make those switching jumps a lot harder, especially in the last part.
This definitely needs some catchy chase music to make it a true gold experience

Awesome work!

btw awesome idea to give it mobile controls

[Aerion]

@DolphinIQ : Where the HELL is the 7th gem? LOL!

[DolphinIQ]

@Aerion Try to look behind walls and on lower elevation

[Aerion]

Hehehe, thanks @DolphinIQ! I found it finally! Also, I don’t know about you guys, but apparently Link has entered the Temple of Doom Realm!
