👁️ Cyclops' Treasure

Cyclops’ Treasure is an action-puzzle challenge about greed, risk, and weight. Grab as many treasures as you can, but each one you carry makes you heavier and slower. Choose carefully—drop treasures to move faster, or push your luck to snatch more before the cyclops finds you. With limited vision that hides what lies beyond the corner, every step is a gamble between reward and ruin. The most priceless artifact in your collection will prove to be your last if you fail to flee its owner.

Very beautiful game and I love the idea of not seeing the entire room all the time. Good idea! Great submission

Beautiful art! But I didn't understand why I was picking up objects (I started throwing them away right away). And at the end, when I run away from the main monster, the game seems to start from the beginning.

I wanted to record a video, but I can only upload a gif (accelerated 3 times)

@sid37 You're right, unfortunately, we didn't have time to add the counter mechanic... It was supposed to provide a goal and restrictions, but time didn't spare us. So, we recommend simply accepting our challenge!

Try to escape the dungeon with 5 artifacts!

P.s. As artist im happy to hear that you like our art!
Thank you so much for feedback!

@jasminej2003 happy to hear that! We tried hard to make a game with new mechanics and a pleasant style. That's why we appreciate every comment under the game!

The art was for sure the best part of this one, shame there didn't seem to be enough time to fully create the gameplay loop according to past comments. Would've loved to see where this one would've gone if time wasn't so limited.

Certainly a very nicely done game, looks amazing and the sound design is spot on. Maybe the gameplay could have a bit more depth to it but certainly it is enough for a jam game considering the game is otherwise very well polished. Well done!

Really nice art style and core idea for the game. I wasn't big fan on the limited visibility because it led to sudden deaths pretty often so I wasn't able to plan my way to the artifacts and to the exit.

Fun game overall... It has been said already but I liked the idea that the room is not shown fully.

Liked the visuals and idea, sad you didn't quite set a goal. I have expected to get some ending if I escape with all 4 artifacts but the game just restarted :c

Think the goal could even be of different difficulty like you can escape with the ring or with a few artifacts or take them all. Also a secret "are you stupid?" achivement for escaping with 5 rocks

I guess players wanting to contribute with development of the game is a good sign. Cool game

I love this take on the prompt, overweight & greed is such a cool design. 5 stars, will recommend. Also I love the idea in comments about escaping with 5 rocks, that would be lowkey hilarious
