The tripwire icon is really hard to see, it took me a few times (and a sxecond look at the description) till i realized that they must be there. The timer is kind of annoying if you are still figuring out how it works.\r\rThe music fits the game nicely.

Amazing :D\rI just played your game, and a tutorial is REALLY important here, i spent 15 minutes to find how to kill this thieves, but thanks to @lonesurvivor I found out there were something else than blocks :p\r\rFinally, good music, nice graphism, matching sounds, gameplay amazing, path finding (really?!), concept matching the theme... Even build a strategy is funny, helping with the pathfinding (strike to the chest) and helping with actuals walls, I could kill 25 of them :D \r\rYour game deserves much attention, an to be evaluated a good tutorial, you might add something as a fix like "Hey, click around the block on the top to change selected tool !" and everything will be fine ^^\r\rThanks a lot mate :D"},{"author_name":"owndbyu","author_uid":"107902","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 12:13am","epoch":1472515680,"text":"@Efmi_\r\rThanks for your comment!

Instead I had this "Free Play" mode without pressure of time (waves of enemies) where players could get used to the game and its controls first. A lot of people said that helped. This game could have used something like that too (I understand creatign a tutorial for this would have taken some time) - because it's a very solid idea otherwise. Just that it needs a lot of time to even understand.

Ended up at 198 thieves killed (goddam thieves, stop stealing my treasure) I really like that one used per object tower defense theme.\r\rI think two things would benefit the game :\rMore time between levels. Or just a "go" button to start the wave : since you can't put traps during the game, it's just a question of planning how you'll put your traps.\r\rGood job and congratulations on the game !"},{"author_name":"owndbyu","author_uid":"107902","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 8:59pm","epoch":1472676840,"text":"@Rakart Haha thankyou! wow 198 you gun!\r\rYeah good point, after playing it again I totally agree there needs to be more time between levels!\r\rThanks so much for your comment :)"}],"images":["ld36\/107902-5257d5a7ac9c0e67a593f3dc32d2ba44.jpg","ld36\/107902-0d711b13c7d85133acf75889f8f3f6e4.jpg","ld36\/107902-e7e78cc3de5be8aad13374eb5a7e6960.jpg","ld36\/107902-b3c7c23cf2fc0f4ecb0602fe0a4c8d0c.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/owndbyu.itch.io\/pharaohs-treasure-ld36","text":"Windows (itch.io)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"926","g_author":"107902","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"902","g_title":"Pharaoh's Treasure","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"16","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/107902-shot0-1472460089.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/107902-shot1-1472460089.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/107902-shot2-1472460089.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/107902-shot3-1472460089.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Pharaoh has entrusted you to protect his precious treasure from nasty thieves. You must utilise the ancient technology of the Egyptians to stop them!\r\n\r\n===================\r\nTUTORIAL\r\n===================\r\nTo stop the thieves you must place traps and triggers. The current trigger implemented is the tripwire, the current trap is the boulder.\r\n\r\nTo select the tripwire\/boulder you'll see a block in your hud, click to the left\/right of that to swap objects.\r\n\r\nTo link the tripwire\/boulder go into linking mode, then left click the objects you want to link and then click finish. (You can click cancel if you stuffed it up)\r\n\r\nThe boulder is directional (you'll see which direction it is in by the arrow). To rotate it go into select mode and left click it. You can also do this with the tripwire.\r\n\r\nBest of luck! :)\r\nAdrian and Dave\r\n\r\nP.S.\r\nThank you for the feedback guys! You are legends!","title":"Pharaoh's Treasure"}
