How it feels

a gentle, whimsical puzzle game where you guide a group of mummies through trap-filled chambers in a lighthearted, LEGO-like world.

What players say

Players love the cute voxel art and mummy animations, but split on the controls: some find them clumsy and point out the lack of mouse support due to its console roots, while others discover holding both mouse buttons works. The difficulty is a surprise, the early levels are very easy, yet later ones ramp up so fast that only about 5% of players finish all 30 levels.
