"Take control of Dareo as he infiltrates an explores an abandoned Temple in search of its history and use. Traverse through eight main levels and two optional bonus levels in search of what is at the bottom of the giant structure. Beware though, even though there are no aggressive life forms in the Temple, its creators devised areas of incredible difficulty to prevent its secrets from being revealed."

After working on the game for over 15 months (it was originally meant to be finished by the 1st of September 2010 for the sixth YoYo Games' competition), it's finally complete.

Game Features:

- 10 levels ranging in difficulty and theme (4 Arcade, 3 Quality, 2 Bonus and a Final level).
- A large overworld to explore.
- 17 different music tracks.
- 9 secrets, double jumping unlockable and much more!

Difference Between Lo-Fi and Hi-Fi Versions:

- Lo-Fi doesn't include overworld and level music, includes standard music (main menu track, credits track, level begin, level complete, level perfected and secret unlocked music).
- Hi-Fi includes all music tracks of a decent quality.


I encourage all constructive feedback. If you happen to find any bugs/glitches during the game please do not hesistate to send me an email/message/comment letting me know of the problem.

Thanks!

Version 1.1 Update:

- Fixed a glitch where after completing the final portion of the Final level and skipping the cutscene didn't open up next area. (By replacing .exe file and keeping saved game file this should auto-correct.)

I just realized I never got around to playing the finished product; I've only played beta versions of it. I'm also really sad that this never got the attention that it deserved. Downloading it now!

Nice job man! Nice to have the finished version, good on you for sticking in there even when it took longer than you expected, most abandon their game after that. The graphics are nice, the sound is nice, the level design is nice, over all a sweet game! I remember you releasing the first version on yoyo and I loved it. I hope to see more from you in the future :D

Thanks! There were a few times during dev where I just about abandoned it, but I'm super glad I didn't. Considering I got this one under my belt there will definitely be more in the future!

Haha yeah, the Z coins were a bit of an extra thing I threw in because one of my testers who I watched test the game over Skype for 7+ hours joked about having some sort of collectible like a coin or a marker as such where he died, I then went and implemented two in every level for some fun! ;D
