~ Templo Trek ~

"Templo Trek" is a hyper-casual mobile game inspired by historic locations in Mexico that contain many stairs or are of great heights. The game is easy to pick up but hard to master; challenge your friends to see who can climb the highest!

*Note: Some parts of the game do not have final art, had some issues right before uploading so that will be coming in a future update. For now we've got goods ol' @KennyNL assets.

HOW TO PLAY:

1. There are simply two buttons: The left button is to Rotate, and the Right button is to Jump. Press the "Jump" button to jump up a step in the direction the player is facing, and press the "Rotate" button to jump up a step in the OPPOSITE direction the player is facing.   

2. Pressing the correct button will let you continue climbing; pressing the wrong one will lead to your failure. 

3. Standing still for too long will also make you fall, so don't get stuck thinking too hard about your next move!

*Tip: The first button press of every attempt will always be the Jump button

The Future / Goals:

Making the game as a solo developer is a challenging yet fun experience. After being burnt out of game development for a year or two, this Game Jam has re-sparked my longing for developing games again. Despite getting the main gameplay loop mostly done, I've still got many plans for this game, starting with:

1. Making the game art/UI more consistent within the style of the game. Art is my weakest subject in game development, so I will probably be asking for help on this end from friends or others who may be interested in helping out.

2. Online Leaderboards and Friendly competitions. I've wanted to do this from the start, but after a hiatus of not programming, I was definitely over my head to try and complete this before the end of the game jam.

3. More themed maps and player customization. I did Chichen Itza for this first one since I thought it would be the easiest to "sell" the idea of climbing stairs.

4. Different game modes. Think, "What if this game was more like Temple Run and had power-ups?".

And much more; I just need time and a bit more practice/ experience.
