7min 23s, the very last word did confuse me, not sure what what the clue for it, every other puzzle element felt neat once the clicked in place. Wery well done on that part. My only complaint here is the controls could be maybe bettter indicated mid game, as that felt confusing from time to time.
Graphics wise the game is simple, and delivers what was needed.
Sfx were okay, I don’t think I heard any music though.
Overall cool concept well executed!
this game is soo fun. the visuals look great and i love how you interpreted the golden idol game mechanics. i would love to play more of it!
Thank you for playing!
Took me 6:35s. Cool deduction set up, I ended up brute forcing my way through some of the word banks. A very refreshing approach to the theme. Poking around the old coins and relics for clues was a blast!
Thanks for playing!
took me 14:07 to beat it and im not quite sure i got all the hints i sorta just tried to build a story that seemed plausible around the obvious hints. But it also really works that way around learning the story by trying different combinations. Very unique approach to build a deduction game i like it!
Thank you!
Nice take on deduction for a gb screen, reading the coin and the tablet then filling the sentence from a word bank is the golden idol loop cut down to two buttons. and the half buried zurth block on the title screen sets the premise before a word of text. nice job
Thank you!
Hello, this game was really fun. I didn't get the last words, I manage to solve the first three panels and it was super fun investigating the relics. can you give me a clue for the last, cause I thought the response was flying rocks hahaha.
Thanks for playing! (for the final puzzle, you have to piece together what’s in the striped bowl)
