Pharaoh's Purse by Vanea

[raw]
made by Vanea for LD 44 (JAM)

You are the ancient Pharaoh Ramses XVII. You've been hanging out in the afterlife with your friends, Khufu, Tutankhamen, and Cleopatra, as well as your boy Osiris. However, in recent years, you've seen most of your friends become suddenly bankrupt and you realized you might very well be next. So you hopped into Ra's boat and rode with him into the day, and back to the mortal world. Your mummy, preserved in linens, accepted your spirit, and now allows you to fortify your temple against intruders. There is no one here yet, but they will come. It is up to you to protect your wealth and ensure that your afterlife vacation will never end.

This is our first game ever made and published! That we made it in three days is just insane to us honestly.

So, a few things to take into account before you play. Firstly, pressing Esc clears your current selection. The Urn MUST be placed first, to 'unlock' new spots to place towers. New towers must be placed in the gray circle. Sneks have short range, we recommend they be placed towards the edge of the circle.

Cute graphics and music is picked very well. Also it creates a nice mood. At start is confusing but it's a nice towerdefence. Good job! Keep doing games

@victorcrafty All assets were actually made by our team. I was the artist, Vanea the coder, and LunarEclaire the composer.

Nice tower..ehm..pyramid defense take on the pharaohs curse. I liked the music a lot and the graphics are nice too. Maybe make it clearer that the urns need to be placed first (one at least). I grabbed a snakey basket first and then couldnt do anything but restart it (could not drop nor place it anywhere).
Good job!

I like the artwork and sounds! But the game needs a bit of clarity work. I got stuck when clicking on a snake to build first, because I didn't know that I had to start with a soul urn. And same thing when I built a lot of soul urns but didn't have enough to put anything in them. It would be good to be able to cancel a build/refund something! Because you can get stuck easily.

Lovely artwork!
