Pyramid Heist by kazoo

[raw]
made by kazoo for LD36 (COMPO)
A 2D skill-based platformer where you play as a chicken that must steal ancient artifacts from an egyptian crypt. Mastering the movement mechanic and dodging projectiles is the core focus, but there's also a boss fight and a special ability for those that make it to the end.


Controller is absolutely recommended.

Controls (Controller):
Left-Stick: Move
Button 1: Jump and hold to sustain flight
Button 2: Secret Action (You'll know when to press it!)

Controls (Keyboard):
WASD: Move
Left-Click: Jump and hold to sustain flight
Right-Click: Secret Action (You'll know when to press it!)

Tip: Try tapping Jump + a direction to move. You can hold Jump down to perform maneuvers. Have fun!

Great game, love how the flying gets less and less strong, feels as realistic as a chicken in a pyramid can get

This has a really good mechanic for flying and a neat idea for the projectiles. Unfortunately I couldn't get all the way to the end, but it was lots of fun until that point where I got stuck.

Couldn't beat it. However, plays really nice. The jumping mechanic is definitely different, but in a good way.

Instant respawns would be nice, kind of lost my patience even at the second or two that the death animation plays.

Funny game! I included it in my compilation video series of Ludum Dare 36 games, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/XIU4hYAXhy0
