How to play
- The sun is going down over a ring of 255 ruined sites. Find all 32 relics (coins, rings, jewels and idols) before the 20-minute clock runs out.
- Run with the arrow keys or A and D. Jump with Space, Up or W. On a phone, use the arrow pads and the big Jump button.
- Quicksand swallows you. Some pools open and close, so wait for the sand to firm up. Sand snakes rest flat in the pools; hop across on their heads while they are down.
- Jump onto a hanging chain to swing over a wide pool, then press Down or Jump to let go. Let go late in the swing so you clear the edge.
- Stone wheels roll through the ruins. They will not kill you, but each one that hits you costs 100 points. Campfires and scorpions are deadly.
- Holes with ladders lead down to the catacombs. Each catacomb passage covers three sites above, so it is a shortcut, but brick walls and patrolling scorpions block the way. Climb with Up and Down.
- You start with 2000 points and 3 lives. When you lose a life you start again at the left edge of the same site. Press P or Esc to pause, and M to mute.
The map is the same in every game, so you can plan a route. Your best score is kept on this device.
