The 2 man player game is quite simple to finish and very exciting along the way, I like how the quest is straight forward, this gives you or a accompanied player to quickly find your way out before the timer is out, the jump system somehow got some little bug, if I'm near the jumping region I get the jump ability, but once all actions are performed I can use it 2 more times before the spell gets removed from my unit card. To remove such error just turn the condition 'if a unit finishes the spell jump, remove ability from unit'

I had no problems with the terrain except for the cliff sizes, there is a part where I can't see where I'm going since the cliff size are too high, you might want to reduce it or give a little height increase of the camera.

Overall, nice little map in set for a quick game performance.

It's alright for me, but I can't drop items. Please fix that, because I don't want Mr. Joe to be badly damaged not caring for his health when he sees a water bottle in front me.
The guardians and worshippers are a bit too strong.
All in all, this is confuzzling and fun.

The guardians and worshippers are a bit too strong.

The ides is that Mr. Joe run, not to fight, to kill those who have to kill, the rest should not worry.

Thanks for testing.

Well, I get lost a bit and even I died at the first part.

I took your advice and now you can drop coins to grab more bottles.

I tried it many times, it is not impossible, it's just err and learn from that.

It is a bit hard, monsters are to strong, i died so many times + why 2 slots if only one player can play? But it has potential, it is fun and i liked the music in game

It is hard but not impossible, I tried it and won, a friend tried it and won.

why 2 slots if only one player can play?

The other slot is for observers.

But it has potential, it is fun and i liked the music in game

Thank you very much!

Really interesting map and got me hooked till the end. Your English is not so bad and is understandable. What is the purpose of ancient gold? I never got its use. I would love to see a smoother jump. The creeps were a little bit bland for me. U should try to make the player use his brain on how to deceive the existing creeps than overwhelm him with numbers. Like placing a rock in middle and making them go round and round in order to not get hit. I suggest placing slow moving more strong creeps in less amount.

If you make another map you can add more time and throw in 1-2 more side quests like the shield that u have put in this one.

Quite an interesting map, a short escape/maze game. There are some nice features, a litte bit higher difficulty.

Art
The terrain is not really beautiful, there are some details but lots of empty spaces... or more like empty corridors - they can't be filled with doodads because that would stuck them, however, it doesn't look very good. You know, it's not natural. Some of the rooms are quite nice nonetheless. Overall, it's about to be average.

The music fits - that's a good thing.
+
Some nice places, good music
-
Ugly corridors, some stuff looks very unnatural

Game
The idea is quite nice, simply an escape/maze game parodying Indina Jones. Basically almost the only thing you have to do is to run. However, the difficulty is quite high, when I played it the second time, it was really easy but the first time - I din't have the shield - I had to wait two minutes to gain some hp or those tentacles would have killed me.

The spells are nice, the sprint is something you really need in some parts - the net is not so useful, but maybe it's good when you're fighting with the monster you have to kill to open the gate. There could be surely more places like that. The jumping parts are a nice little feature, that looks good.

To stay alive, you have to use the items - water, eventually the Sacred Chalice and the shield. That's good, it forces the player to do even something else, not just running. However, there are just three items and the coins - I don't see any use of the coins.

It would be really nice if you replaced those coins with actual amounts of gold that would make a score - and a highscore that would save after every try and you could improve it the next time - that would really increase the replayability and the quality of the map.
+
Fast game, use of items/spells
-
A little bit boring after some time, very difficult if you don't know what to expect, only three items, useless coins

Too harsh?
Improve the game, at least the coin system and you will have 3/5 for sure.
