Thanks for making this game, I enjoyed it a lot! I'm curious though, is it possible to get 13 keys or is the 13th key a tease? I'm definitely going to check out your other games because I love these kind of games.
Reviews for "The Ruins of Machi Itcza"
I found the gray areas boring and the ending was anticlimactic, but other than that this was a really fun metroidvania.
Great puzzles to test your skills. Well done!
I really enjoyed this game--the platforming was well done, and the puzzles/challenges in it were difficult enough to keep it fun and interesting. I was disappointed in the ending (I was hoping this would be a place where the game would shine!) but overall I definitely enjoyed the game.
Love the game and the ending. The level design is solid, particularly with the way the levels tie together. My only really complaint is that the controls could be a little tighter, and while I understand the point of the color changes going out, the black and grey gets a bit bland, particularly since it makes up such a significant portion of the map. Perhaps just make the colors noticeably duller but not quite completely gone. Pretty minor nitpicks, though.
For those confused or complaining about the ending, reread the intro, you're collecting the keys to unlock the meaning of life, so the ending makes a subtle philosophical point. Life is about the journey, not the destination.
