Nice little puzzle-y game, I had fun circling the pyramid figuring out which route to take. The lightning looked pretty cool, but sometimes it made the stairs really hard to see.

really nice vibe, i especially like he higher up the pyramid you go, the more ethereal the music and visual become. nice work.

@paul59 Sorry to hear that! What version of Firefox are you using? Which OS?

If you feel like running it, waiting ~10 seconds, and pressing space, you should hear music (assuming it's only a graphics issue).

Nicely done! I like how the puzzle actually stumped me for a bit. I also like how towards the end you see more of the sun, it looks quite nice, but once you get to the very top, a new puzzle element occurs around the light and using the corners to rotate your view and find the stairs in the silhouette. Music has a lot of interesting elements. Thanks for the awesome game!

Ahh... Not really sure what this game if doing here, I can't see know connection with the LD theme. Apart from this I can say that it's quite boring puzzle game with little strategy and thinking involved. Overall graphics are quite nice though if not for this primitive shape as a player.

Very nice puzzler. Not quite as easy as it looks first. I liked the music a lot, sounded very ..original? And beautiful sunset skybox too. Well done! :thumbsup:

Nice presentation for how simple it is, I had to do some thinking to remember what the other side of the pyramid looked like so I could plan my way up.

In some cases it didn't seem like the controls were 100% responsive but I was still able to reach the top!

Wonderful short game, the music got a little repetitive but I love how it was dynamic. The top of the pyramid was awkward with the camera angle and lighting. I loved the puzzle itself, can kind of see how you traded your progress for more progress which kind of fits the theme i guess. Overall enjoyed it.

Interesting little puzzle! Not sure how it related to the theme but it was easy to understand what I was supposed to do. The graphics and music worked together nicely. Managed to finish it!

Took me a while to realize I could move down without being on stairs. Once I realize that, it was a nice little puzzle game, though the connection to the theme is a bit of a stretch. The lightning looked fantastic, though it made it such that I couldn't tell where the second to last staircase was. Good job!

A great puzzle game! The music is nice, the graphics as well and the game is not too easy (as it seems to be) or too hard! Great job!

Catchy little puzzle; took me ages to solve just because one can't see the stairs so well at the top but it didn't get boring at all! It is really intuitive to play and it's cool how the player needs to figure out themeselves that they can slide down the levels without stairs. Loved it. Can't see the connection to the theme though...

Nice puzzle, I liked it! The gameplay is intuitive, I loved how the graphics looked (this lighting <3), the music is great too, maybe a bit too repetitive! ^^
I had hard times seeing the last stairs though :)
But otherwise, very nice game! Congrats ;)

P.S: Thank you very much for making a Linux version! :D

Interesting. I could see this becoming an Indiana Jones style puzzle game. Throw in a few traps and some more puzzle levels and you're good to go.

Nice puzzler. Was it just me, or was the beginning a bit dark? Audio and graphics were nicely done... put you in the right mood, and the puzzle was challenging.

I was stuck for quite a while because I didn't realize you could drop down anywhere, not just at the stairs haha. Circling forever wondering if I got randomly generated a broken pyramid.

Anyway, once I realized that I think this 3d maze puzzle got way more interesting, a big-grin moment. The music alongside is very pleasant to the ears, and I like how it crossfades with the victory music the closer you get to the top. My pill boy is very happy to praise the sun and its glory.
