Description
The Earth Temple consists of simple puzzles and jumping challenges.
The main mechanic of this temple is Pressure Plates. These require the player to locate a heavy object (Rock) and place it on the plate to allow for the plate to remain active, keeping the attached mechanic (gates) active allowing the player to progress.
The goal of the temple is to obtain the "Earth Orb" behind a locked gate. The player must figure out how to open the gate in order to reach it.
The player is introduced to the mechanic early on with a simple puzzle showcasing the relationship between the pressure plate, gates, and rocks. This gives the player the knowledge to compete the simple puzzles to complete the level.
To avoid the return journey feeling too similar, after the player picks up the orb the cave begins to crumble and the route back is altered. This allows for an alternative experience for the return journey.
Playable version available on request.
