TRAPS N' GEMSTONES is an adventurous platform game, among gamers typically known as the "Metroidvania" genre, from Donut Games, the developer behind chart-toppers Traffic Rush, Sunday Lawn, the "Rat On A" series and many others.

THE PLOT

Precious relics have suddenly started to disappear from a well-hid pyramid that has been guarded by Bedouins for generations, who claim to have spotted an unknown perpetrator.
As a freelance archaeologist and expert on ancient explorations, you've been secretly called in to Egypt to help them solve the mystery.

Arriving at the pyramid's entrance empty handed, your journey starts off by searching some well-known chambers for items and weapons to help you on your quest.
But as you get deeper into the pyramid, you begin to realize that this mystery will require more than just a whip, a sharp mind and a good amount of explosives to unravel.

WHAT. A. GAME.!!

I have purchased other games by this developer, and they were simple and more “ quick-fix” games so I was nervous about this one. I was soooo wrong! The amount of detail and exploration potential is insane! It has that old school feel with the graphics, but its hours of fun! I looked online and found a website that has hints to help you... they are worth it! I haven’t been able to put this game down! It’s well worth the $5, and I hope they have a sequel. This is perfect if you have time on your hands- road trip/ vacation/time off/ or just to have some great fun searching for the relics!! Great job on this one!!

Slightly ruined by ads

For a paid app, I was surprised to still be bothered by an advertisement at a certain point. Hit the wrong button on your controller and instead of closing the ad it takes you to the app store page for what it's advertising. That's the kind of cleap clickbait BS a cheap app maker would use.

It is for that reason that I am docking it 1 star for what normally would be a perfect metroidvania type game.

Fantastic platformer

This game kept me engaged throughout the entire adventure and left me wanting more! I'll play any similar game that Donut Games puts out in the future.
