The Lost City of Phound

Our Global Game Jam 2021 entry. We finished something playable and challenging and I think that's largely due to PICO-8 being an amazing tool.

I think there could be more balancing, once you work out a strat to get to level 5 you should be able to win on most runs unless you have a terrible start.

Instructions

Reach level 5 and find the crystal skull before you lose all your workers to traps. Make sure you find enough treasure along the way to buy the necessary equipment to find and get the skull.

Keys:

Movement: up, down, left, right

z: use/buy currently selected item.

shortcuts to directly use/buy items:

s: pick
d: dyanmite
f: vision

I loved this game, its pretty fun! Best way to beat level five, you usally only need a single pick and as much eyes as possible!

Thanks so much for playing and sharing your experience :) How do you like to tackle the earlier levels?

Oh and another player discovered there's a hiddent meta game. You can skip the skull on level 5 and then see how high you can score. The vision time scales with the level so it will get challenging.
