About the Game

You are a grave robber and find yourself on the bottom floor of the maze of an Egyptian pyramid.
While searching for the exit on the top floor, you collect valuable treasures, potions and other items of equipment.
But be careful: the secrets of each pyramid are protected by guards who seek your life and become more and meaner with each new pyramid.
So be quick, dodge the monsters and always look for ammunition.
How far will you get this time?
