Kherinos - Pyramid Builder (GMTK Game Jam 2024)
Idle / Simulation game where you must build a pyramid in the desert of Egypt. Will you be able to satisfy the Pharaoh and ensure his favor ?
GAME JAM
This game was made for the GMTK Gam Jam 2024 in 3 days (I started 1 day late).
The theme was BUILT TO SCALE.
I might make a bigger version of the game since I had tons of ideas during the jam :D
UPDATE
For confort, I updated the build but didn't change anything to the gameplay / graphics to keep the same game made during the jam. Here are the changes :
- fix the major bug "slider to choose the size of pyramid wasn't working" T-T
- a little slider for the volume
- limit fps to 60 to keep your PC quiet

Nice game! Finished in 16mins 5 secs (biggest size), but with almost no clicking. I started clicking the left side of the pile of bricks, to bring them closer, but then realized there are more bricks than neccessary. I would like to request an even bigger size!
As suggestion, since it's linear, the ramp could elevate the moment all workers required to finish the current floor have already went up the ramp. This would shorten the waiting time.
Fun fact: Pyramid construction and public works where used as a mean to keep the populace (mostly farmers) occupied from the idle months of the Nile River flood. They had almost no slaves.
Thanks a lot ! Ah ah, I could increase the maximum but I think I'm gonna work to make a real game with more mechanics and a really big Pyramid :D
Sadly, the ramp is connected with the floor and if it goes up, the
slavesworkers already on the floor below would be elevated... But I agree it's a bit sad to see them waiting xDOh thank you for the lesson ♥
Ethical% speed run results here:
(Clicker upgrades only, No workers)
24m 53s
Are you serious ? xD
22m 42s
thanks for the fun idea. can think of some ways to go faster but i'm done clicking for now
Oh my god ! You guys are crazy :D ♥
found that moving all of the stones into the pyramid area before finishing the first layer speeds up the build due to the blocks automatically being raised to the next level avoiding slower movement up ramps, but they stack on top of each other and it makes it hard to click on them or see which one you are moving. So far that has been something I wanted to try and cut my time down
23m 44s with moving blocks first. faster for me, but not a substantial improvement. man my finger hurts. guess ill try again tomorrow.
18m 41s. dropped a couple blocks and 1 bugged out but satisfied with this time. got to level 3 clicking power then stacked a bunch of blocks on that level. miscounted and had to do the last 10 from the pile on the left. also zoomed out when the left pile got too far away so i could continuously click a block all the way to the pyramid. thanks for the game dev and thanks for the challenge commenter
Updated version will be up tomorrow with sliders working if you guys wants to go for 4 hours pyramid clicker xD
The try hard is real xD
Uh.. sorry... Im just too impatient to be ethical xD
Nice
Love the music. Really adds the vibe
Yes very nice.
Sad that the slider is not working...I would have created a pyramid of such proportions that even the sun would envy it...
AND if you click stones to much the workers do not touch them anymore....
Yeah, I realized the slider bug between 19:00-20:00 but I really wanted to respect the rules :)
For the stones not taken by the workers, it's because they only take the stones on the left of the slope. I'll rethink of that later :)
Gorgeous and brilliant game!
Thanks a lot ♥
