About the Game

๐Ÿ“– Introduction :

To your partner :

Hello Golem !

Your mission, and you accept it, is to find everything you can about this old fool and his inventions.
We NEED his incredible creations (including his infinite coffee cup) !!!

Now GO !

The Concilio Magorum

--------------------------

Hello sadi-- *khof* I mean magic questing friends !

In Lovely Traps Dungeon, you will guide our dear golem friend through the mad wizard's mazes and twisted contraptions in an attempt to recover his immense knowledge ! ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ

P.S : Golems are just moulded clay so don't worry about petty things like pulverisation...โ€‹

๐Ÿ˜ˆโœ’๏ธ Game made with love and a bit of madness โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŽฎ Gameplay :

  • No lives or "continue". You melted, got compressed, crushed or rolled over ? You will respawn at the last visited checkpoint. At least in story mode. Otherwise : restart !

  • Third person platformer, sometimes sidescroller, with puzzle mechanics

  • The Ascent mode tests your platformer skills. Try to reach the secret clouds lab and find the ultimate artefact !

  • Grab magic gear to get abilities !

  • Classic WASD or ZQSD | left stick controls with mouse or right stick to orient view

  • Safe no-fall walk with shif key or X gamepad button

  • Mouse wheel or gamepad Up and Down control zoom

  • Slide on inclined surfaces, jump from them while keeping momentum !

  • Beauuuutiful graphics ! (or at least we hope so)

  • If something can be pushed, just move towards it, the golem will handle it

  • Dodge death using skills. Unlock them in the challenges room !

    Default one is a "dive" with an invincibility frame.

  • Time attack : there is a timer on top of your screen and a proof screenshot is taken at the end of each level.

  • You can manually make a high definition screenshot. Please first set a key in the Input menu.

  • There is often more than one solution

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Performances :

The game is as optimised as possible, the goal being to run smoothly on my favourite device : the SteamDeck โฃ๏ธ

It tries to auto-configures but of course, you can tweak visual settings, key bindings, sensitivity, accessibility options...


HAVE FUN ! ๐Ÿ˜‹
