Imhotep, Pyramid Builder

TL;DR; If you want a game to keep you occupied for an hour or 2 or wish to see crowd simulation at work, then at the discount price it is worth a bash. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend paying the full price. But please, read the rest before you judge. This is a relatively simple (and as the developer pointed out - unique) game. I suspect this game is more an exercise in optimisation (whether it be code, compiler or underlying maths/algorithms) and crowd simulation technology rather than an attempt to make a successful money-earning game. However, the graphics are simple and well done and the game feels and looks finished though it is limited in scope. The aim of the game is to build a pyramid and to do that you need to build fields, bakeries and huts (and extra tax houses if you want to spread out a bit - but the starting one serves) and then employ workers to transport water -> field, field -> bakery, bakery -> hut/tax and bricks -> pyramid. There is probably some ratio of fi...

dont buy this game, it looks oke but when your in the game you have no idea what to do. you only see unclear pictures en the guide is unclear as well. if you play for 2 hours you have won or lose, there is an easy way to win and you can do this over and over so after 2 hours of gameplay the game is useless and you waste your money

I knew what the hyroglyphs did because i had translate on but i got to a point where there WAS NOT EVEN ENOUGH STONE to build a pyramid. WTF

This game is simple and limited. With that said I really liked it. It's a good start to a twist on an RTS/building game. I hope to see more maybe different buidlings and a you create level. I know this is the first of a new game dynamic so I dont want to be negative about its limitations or lack of content. Bottom line is that it is a fun game but you will get bored of it after a couple hours.

This game is simple, yet stupidly fun for a couple hours of entertainment. People should recognize that this game is not deep in content or action, but provides a quirky (and what I believe is unique) style of play. As earlier reviewers said, this doesn't seem to be made in the interest of making money, rather I see this as an investigation of new programming styles (and possible a new type of sim game). As long as you don't overestimate Pyramid Builder, you should have a good couple hours of fun with cats and egyptian dudes. Recommended to buy on sale.

This game was exactly as described on the store page/video. I found it fun for the 2 hours or so I spent building my pyramid, and I could see myself playing it again in the future if new features were added or changes were made. The cats that appeared around the workers were interesting. It was enjoyable managing the balance between food production workers and the amount of houses for builders that they could sustain. The land surface is not flat and therefore provides a challenge as to where to place buildings and fields as usable spots are limited. The game provides the option to translate the hieroglyphs when you hover over the button, and I recommend leaving that turned on because the game does no make much sense otherwise. The developer has made an official guide available which is findable through the main options menu. This guide explains to you the mechanics of the game and its workers and is essential to read unless you enjoy muddling through and figuring things out for yo...

I kind of like the idea of the game , but the biggest problem I have is that YOU CAN'T FLATTEN THE TERRAIN !!!!!!! Seriously game creator , you have this huge map , and you can't build shit anywhere because the terrain is so uneven !!! You need either a flat world , or the ability to equalize it !!! Get programming.

i think its a great game

little challenge and over in 2 hours

THIS GAME IS AIDS BUT BUY IT ANYWAY
