Pharaoh's Tomb

Description: In Pharaoh's Tomb you play the role of an old-time explorer who has to collect as much gold as he can in a complex of ancient Egyptian tombs. The task won't be easy though, as many different enemies (mummies, leaping skulls, scarabs etc.) and traps will try to put his life to an end!

Pharaoh's Tomb has been developed using the Gold Yard isometric engine and it's been licensed to Miniclip.com, the world largest online gaming site.

PATH DETECTION
The hero is able to automatically recognize the shortest path to walk around obstacles and enter doorways (even if he's not perfectly aligned with them) thanks to a simple path detection algorithm.

CURVED WALLS
The game engine can easily handle collision detection with curved walls or objects.

MAP
Pharaoh's Tomb has a built-in mapping system that progressively reveals rooms as soon as the hero visits them. Also, a flashing room shows where the hero is at all times.
Two different types of map visualizations are available:Transparent: allows you to play and keep track of your position on the map at the same type Opaque: gives a clearer view of the map and hides the game enviroment.

STREAMING
Although the whole game is about 550 KB long, only the first 210 KB have to be downloaded for the player to be able to start. This includes the main menu, the interface, sounds and the first four rooms. All the other rooms are downloaded in the background while the user is playing. This feature allows us to add a virtually endless number of rooms to the game enviroment without increasing downloading time.

PERFORMANCE & COMPATIBILITY
Pharaoh's Tomb is designed to run smoothly on a CPU as slow as a 433 MHz Celeron (Medium graphic quality) and is Flash 5 (or higher) compatible. Pharaoh's Tomb is both PC and MAC compatible.
