The Fall of Elena Temple by GrimTalin

Games itch.io

The Fall of Elena Temple is a minimalistic puzzle game for Playdate. Explore rooms, avoid perils and collect all coins to progress. Rotate the crank to undo your previous falls, keeping what you’ve collected. Missed some coins? Rotate! Falling in some spikes? Crank!!
An old-school puzzle game with a faux platformer look, **The Fall of Elena Temple **will test your forward thinking and logical skills. Plan your falls carefully, as your undos are limited. If you’re not paying attention, you’ll find yourself unable to restore back to the top, with coins still needing collecting!

Features

  • 20 puzzle rooms to test your forward thinking and logical skills
  • Grab the undo crystal to enable going back up to five previous positions before falling
  • Rotate the crank counterclockwise anytime you want to move Elena back, keeping everything you’ve already picked up
  • Collect all the coins in a dungeon room to open the passage to the next one
  • Navigate through teleporters, locked doors, spikes, flying arrows, snakes, crumbling platforms and many more perils
  • Crack a smile at Elena’s musings!

Playing on Win/Mac/Linux
