Turtemple by jandourek
Description: A short adventure/puzzle game about 3 sacred turtles that hold the world together. It's up to you to keep them alive from evil cultists, who want to throw the universe off-balance.

Note: We were a bit too ambitious and the game ended up being fairly buggy and unpolished. We still hope you enjoy it! :)
Known bugs: - The final cultist just straight up doesn't attack if you leave and re-enter the room. (Fixed in Patch 1) - Items and turtles can sometimes get stuck in walls or doors. - Picking up the second shield will cause the first door to close, so make sure you take anything you need out, or just don't pick up the shield.
Changelog:
Patch 1 (21/4/2020) (Note: We encourage you to play and rate the original version of the game first. The patch only adds an additional challenge that stopped working shortly before release.)
- Fixed bug, where the final cultist would stop attacking if you left and re-entered the room (so basically every time).

Didn't care for the game play personally. There are definitely some tweaks that need to be made.
Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.
I struggled so much to get rid of the last cultist ahah
It's a shame because otherwise I was really enjoying the game. The graphics and music are great. The puzzles are interesting and fun. I would love to see this developed further.
Most of the game flaws were caused by the lack of time, you see. Like, we had some ideas on some screens, animations, sounds and stuff, but we did not make it in time. There's lot of unused material in our folders, but we're pretty exhausted now.
The main problem was, a puzzle game like this really needs time to think out well all the puzzles, 'cause that's the whole gameplay. We're glad we've thought out and implemented the three rooms :D
I see why the game is unforgiving, but it's also very short. Once you figure out how to do stuff, you can finish it in no time. Keep in mind both you and the turtles can die by the same means. If you ever died and did not know the cause, I assume a turtle fell to a bottomless pit.
But hey, I don't want to dismiss by my rambling any of your feedback, we've glad you played our game and found stuff to like about it.
Bless y'all!
