We’ve been asked many times by perplexed players how it is exactly that a pharaoh dances, so we prepared a new trailer to explain.
Now that you know some of the steps you need to take to survive in the land of the pharaoh, try the demo. When you’re practiced enough, you can preorder Pharaoh’s Dance for a reduced price of $4.99. Pharaoh’s Dance will be available later this month.
A demo for our new game Pharaoh’s Dance is now available. If you approve of its contents, you can preorder the full game now at a discounted price. All this and more can be accomplished on the Official Pharaoh’s Dance Internet Webpage.
Pharaoh’s Dance is an action-platformer-roguelike that takes place on a giant spinning carnival contraption. As you ascend, your air supply will deplete. Dive into the abyss and hope that fate brings you the good fortune of oxygen. Collect coins, sell crystals, slow time, and live the high life to the tune of a dynamic jazz-inspired soundtrack. Gamble your way to the top and enjoy riches—or fall forever into the abyss like so many others who have come before you.

Multilytheus started with a Maya file called “hallway.ma.” As new rooms and the various paths between them were plotted out, the size of this file increased. The file, however, was never renamed, and all of Multilytheus continues to take place in one hallway, although it may appear to be a complex network of tubes.
The other game we will be showing at BostonFIG is Pharaoh’s Dance, an action-platformer-roguelike that takes place on a giant spinning carnival contraption.

I fall into a series of rooms painted with garish colors and patterns, as if a circus wardrobe exploded onto the walls. I move slowly along the bottom of large rooms, finding it impossible to not look up at the various pillars jutting out from the walls and floor, suggesting that I need to find a way to traverse them.
