An 8 Bit Diamond in the Rough

Good evening everyone and welcome to The Magical Mystery Blog.

This week I travelled to an ancient pyramid to annihilate enemies and restore balance to the pyramid.  Traps n Gemstones is a game for many mobile devices and it allowed me to accomplish such wondrous, adventurous feats. Traps n Gemstones is basically 8 bit Indiana Jones goes to Egypt.  You play as a nameless archaeologist who must find and return all Egyptian relics to their rightful place in the pyramid. By doing this you will restore peace to the ancient structure, capture the villain who hid the relics to begin with, and unlock new locations to explore. As you roam throughout the pyramid, you encounter various enemies like scorpions, mummies, and many others. You also stumble upon multiple puzzles, each requiring their own unique solution with hidden gadgets.  The plot ends when you find all the relics and return them to their pedestals, but from there you can go through the pyramid discovering secret chambers and more treasure.


This game is produced by Donut Games and is available for mobile devices for the small price of three dollars. To be honest with you, it’s the best three dollars I’ve spent on a game. It reminded me of growing up and playing 8 bit games on the Nintendo Entertainment System.  I give it a 8/10 for challenging gameplay, innovative puzzles, and bringing back a graphic style that everyone knows and loves.
