Very nice little game. It starts with very weak enemies but adds many new enemy types over time, all with their own behaviour. It can get really chaotic and difficult to react fast enough when they fly, dodge instantly and spawn right next to you and explode, but I like it that way. There are easier modes and an invincible mode if you really want that. I like the bullet time, fast pace, enemy variety and humor. It could be a bit faster when stamina is low, sometimes particle effects block the view, so I couldn't aim at enemies and I would prefer a double jump instead of drop when I hit space twice, but complaining about a solo developer game with this price tag would be more than just a bit weird. And ignore the playtime, I played it offline for ~90 minutes. So around 4 hours to reach level 13 of 14, if you're dumb enough to jump into lava all the time and kill yourself because you think you can double jump. :P

About This Game
Play as a robot archaeologist in search of lost treasures. Use your bullet time laser and platforming abilities to explore dungeons, fight monsters, and collect treasure to complete the museum. Use hazards in the environment to your advantage to outsmart your enemies.
Content
Intro + Tutorial: Meet the characters and find Pasqualdo (the town leader) in the mushroom forest to begin the tutorial.
The forest: Get teleported into the forest and find your way to the temple entrance (hopefully alive.)
Dungeon Part 1 (Temple): Procedurally generated dungeon with seven floors. Fight alien warriors and lava slugs. Platform across lava. Solve puzzles and navigate to the final floor.
Dungeon Part 2 (Caves): Secret caves system beneath the temple. Meet new monsters who are invincible to your weapons. Learn to use the environment to destroy enemies and reach the exit.
Boss battle: Located on floor 15. Defeat the boss to find the final pickup and return to the town.
Post Game: After defeating the boss, you unlock alternative game modes including B-Side Dungeon, God Mode, B-Side God Mode, Wave Mode, and other secret boss battles hidden throughout the town and temple lobby.
B-Side Dungeon: Redo the 15 floors of the dungeon but with new enemies, the lights are out, and all old enemies have been buffed up by one tier (more health, faster movement, new abilities and behaviors.)
God Mode Dungeon: Redo the 15 floors but with permadeath. Die once and you need to start again! There is also a time limit! Chop chop!
B-Side God Mode: Redo the 15 floors but with both the B-Side and God Mode modifiers active. i.e. buffed enemies, lights out, permadeath, and a time limit! The most brutal challenge of them all!
Wave Mode: Accessible in the town after beating the main game. Attempt 30 waves of enemies from the temple, including enemies exclusive to the wave arena.
Collect-a-thon: There are over a dozen unique trophies to find to 100% the game. Rewarded for things like beating the different game modes, modifiers, or by solving special puzzles on specific floors of the dungeon. Read the hints on the empty trophy pedestals inside the museum to learn more! There is also a stat boost, energy crystal, and journal to find on each floor to complete the museum!

Note from the developer
Thanks for your interest in Lost Temple Treasure! This is a special game to me -- developing this game kept me going through a very difficult time in my life and I am so happy with how it turned out.
Lost Temple Treasure can be replayed many times with different game modes. Once you finish it the first time, the mechanics become familiar and it is fun to try it again under the time pressure of God Mode and with the advanced difficulty of B-Side.
There are lots of secrets to find and things to collect. If you get them all, or need help or hints, feel free to contact me directly via Discord! I love hearing about people's experiences with my games, and am happy to help where I can to make the experience as good as possible.
Let me know with a review how you go with the game!
Have fun!

p.s. if you like Lost Temple Treasure, you'll probably like my other games! Please check out Eco Ronin and Running Robot Man 4 (both are on Steam. RRM4 is basically LTT but with more mechanics and different worldbuilding, and is much more fleshed out mechanically. ER is in early access and is similar and unique in its own way. Thanks! Enjoy!
