V0.9992 #9: Dune Ruins, an old city in the sand
Floppa Odyssey's Dune Ruins is now a real level: an old desert city half buried in the sand. Dive under a palm oasis, cross quicksand on sinking stones, race a boulder down a ramp, bounce light between mirrors and wake the Stone Sphinx. 16 Golden Shrimp to find.
What's in this build
- New level: Dune Ruins. A palm oasis to start at, rolling dunes, red rock cliffs and the ruins of an old city.
- Climb the stepped Sun Temple: a grand stair, then stone lifts round the sides up to the sun altar. A gong hangs on each step.
- The Mirror Court: hit the mirrors to turn them and bounce the sun crystal's light onto the sun door.
- Quicksand slows you down and pulls you under if you stay in it. The old stones sink when you stand on them, so hop quickly.
- Up on the mesa: step on the plate and race a rolling boulder down the ramp, or take the sand slide down to the oasis and steer clear of the cacti.
- Sand geysers erupt every few seconds and throw you high up the rocks.
- Sandstorms blow through now and then. While one blows, a hidden stone stair appears round the Storm Obelisk.
- Boss: the Stone Sphinx sends sand waves across its hall and drops stone blocks. Push a block into its paws to make it bow, then jump on its head.
- Plus a secret cave under the oasis, Dusty the trader's lost gems, golden scarabs, scorpions, a pillar hop ring race and buried treasure.
