First ever game jam, be harsh ;)
Made in roughly 10 hours because of various reasons. It's definitely missing content, the music does not loop how it should, sound effects are bad, bad camera stuttering, bad dialog system, repetitive gameplay, unsatisfactory ending.
Anything to add?
Jokes aside i am fairly happy with this result considering it is my first ever try at making a complete game, especially in a game jam type of setting. I had big plans for each and every one of the artifacts but lack of time and technical difficulties prevented me from doing it.
Also i restarted like three times.
Hope you enjoy it!

The maze gets a bit boring after a while, so I only managed to collect 4 of the artifacts. The story is good and the music as well. With some other mechanic (puzzles, fights etc.) this could be an interesting game :)
Anyways, after convincing my computer that your game was not gonna set it on fire, I was able to play it. I really like the graphics, simplistic, yet good. The music didn't loop properly as you said, but other than that, its well done. Gameplay was simple and tended to get repetitive eventually, but could easily be expanded, so potential is there! Overall a very good game, especially for your first Ludum Dare. Good job!
On a technical level, when the camera moves it distorts the edge of your player sprite which is a bit jarring
But I really like the odd bits of history and background that you get as you walk around. Good first entry!
@blinry @wheerd @FaeLD @Hackingroelz @kndx123 Thank you very much for the feedback, for a while i was actually worried that the map was too small and simple XD I was struggling with the room editor and was getting a bit frustrated so i had to rush it, completely erasing any semblance of plan i had of putting hieroglyphs on the walls as landmarks :(
I'm also extremely happy a lot of you actually liked the music, it means a lot to me (i have a past as a musician).
Thank you!
The game itself is not very exciting, it is a maze, but considering you made it quickly and that it is your first jam, it is cool.
Please do finish the game, with whatever big plans you had. It was a bit boring, but still somewhat pleasant (probably thanks a lot to the music ;)). It you could prevent the feeling of being lost aimlessly wandering the maze by adding some content it could be a really nice little game-experience.
also, add some text in the background in the map to tell us what to do, i didnt even see the character for a solid 30 seconds, and could not find witch buttons to press :P
but after that i had a solid 4 min of fun.
