POST-COMP: We've added sound and made the screen shake less :).

The character is pretty fun to move around and the jump feels nice. I wish the temple was darker; some music would go a long way to set the mood.

Tight control and rad graphics; cool top-down platforming concept. Excellent!

Argh, so many damn spikes XD
Pretty neat though.

Some sound would have been nice maybe some rumbling to give a cue that the temple is falling.

Hard but fair. I liked the shaking screen, it added a sense of urgency.

Oh man that camera shake got to me after a little while. :) Nice work, great visuals. Some audio would have been nice and I think it would have helped to have a countdown timer on screen but it's really polished otherwise.

Nice work! I didn't fancy the screen shaking but the levels where nice to play and every of them felt different. I had no sound at all so I don't know if it was normal or not (was playing on Safari).

If only this game had music and sounds! This was awesome, I enjoyed every little bit of it. Really nice Link to the Past -feeling. :)

It's simply the type of game that makes me happy when I see. Just great, five stars!

Reminds me a lot of ALttP. Great introduction of the 10 second time limit after basic mechanics have been properly established. Hope you guys can add sound in later.

Difficulty was great. I had to retry some of those escape levels an embarrassing amount. Well executed and I really like the animations on the main guy. Good Job!

I like the jumping "hop" :)

Well put together package. Gameplay was not very engaging, though. Could see this forming the basis for a deeper game similar to LttP.

This was fun. The controls feel tight and I like the effect of the temple shaking when you're trying to escape. It gets really tough towards the end.

Awesome! much easier to play from my desktop system and not on the big screen... shaking not so bad (but still annoying) on a non 30+ in screen. Awesome Job!

Nice job - screen shake is a bit nauseating, but it does add some tension :)

Hard, but has an overall nice feel to it, especially with the precise controls!

Very cool sprites. I also thought that the dialogue was pretty funny. I couldn't get too far though : (

Finished the game... Had some difficulties on avoid those spikes xD

Pretty difficult jumping puzzles and excessive screen shaking like others have stated but great visual style similar to snes Zelda. The second half of the game felt like Indiana Jones escaping a collapsing temple. Good stuff. Would like to see this expanded to a fuller temple!

Not much I can say to add to what others have said. Liked the game, not the shaking screen, I'm a bit dizzy right now.

I liked the difficulty in this one. Some rooms are very hard.

I really liked the SNES like graphics!

I don't if it was my computer or the game itself... but at times it felt a little unresponsive (like, it would have a small delay before jumping or keep moving in a direction).

Other than that, nice game. :)
