The Lost City of Phound

Published 2023-06-12


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.

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.

Movement: up, down, left, right

z: use/buy currently selected item.

shortcuts to directly use/buy items:

s: pick
d: dyanmite
f: vision
