Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36.

Reminds me of Seiklus, although I played that game a long time ago.\rSpoilers:\rA cogwheel that clicks right into dinosaur bones? Genius.\rHowever, I did not get all the progressions. I was the cogwheel and came to a fire place (after you build the wood bridge). It looked like I could get the next update there, but I guess I was there too early or too late? I could not progress and did not find anything else.\rWere there hints in the cave drawings? I could not decipher them."},{"author_name":"cushycode","author_uid":"111095","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:43pm","epoch":1472560680,"text":"I quite like it!

It reminds me a lot of Dustforce's aesthetic, which can only be a good thing!\r\rAs for things to improve, there was a painfully high chirping sound in my right headphone at a certain point in the square wheel's song, which took away a bit of the atmosphere. I also ended up needing to ride the elevator four times, so I'd probably appreciate if that was a little faster too.\r\rNone of this stopped me enjoying the game, though!
