The game is great. It really captures the eerie atmosphere of classic exploration games for old computers. The graphics are very well done and very Spectrum-like. The music is also fantastic. The only thing I would gripe about is that the last (biggest) part of the game is mostly in black and white, while I think I understand the reason for this, I still would prefer color.
Reviews for "The Ruins of Machi Itcza"
Really cool project. My one critique is that I got stuck on the last key. At that point the map is very large. I think the map should show the locations of the keys you have seen. Otherwise I have to get out the graph paper and make my own map. I don't like doing this because last time my girlfriend's friend saw me and started teasing me.
wow i was only playing this to look if i can nominate this for the best of July! congrats!
Nice Atari style game, not the worst way to blow 20 minutes. Still, it is just a generic retro style game; nothing that sets it apart. The pixels and puzzle solving reminds me of Fez.
It's a great retro game. Can imagine playing this on an NES. The ending confused me at first but it made sense.
