To those who haven't seen any of the Indiana Jones trilogy, you are encouraged to go watch them, because they may be the reason people want to play Secret Inca. You are playing as the explorer Jack who has discovered an ancient Incan Temple. Believing that there are many treasures inside, Jack ventures into the temple to seek his fortune. Even though it's been around for centuries, the traps and animals still make it quite a dangerous place to be. But that won't stop you or Jack from exploring its depths, braving the dangers, and trying to escape with everything you can carry.

About Secret Inca

Many of us have wondered what it would be like to be a professional explorer or treasure hunter and what kind of risks go with it. This game shows a pretty tame example of what one such explorer might encounter. You'll be using your platforming skills to run and jump through the areas without any means to defend yourself. Everything harmful poses and lethal threat and you need to ensure that you don't run into any of them. It's unknown what the average lifespan of a professional explorer is, but you don't need to contribute to the lower side of the statistics.

How to Play

Secret Inca is a 2D platforming game about an explorer going through an ancient temple using the keyboard.

The goal is to collect as many diamonds as you can, find the key, and then head toward the exit door. The key and life counters are shown in the top left corner, while the diamond counter is in the top right. Jack doesn't have health and any harm from an enemy or a trap will instantly kill him and send him back to the start of the level. If he loses all his lives, then the game is over.

When the level starts, Jack will spawn in one side of the chamber. You'll need to guide him around the area, looking for diamonds, and avoiding danger. Things like elevators can help him reach new heights while large blocks can be pushed around for platforming. Threats like bats will fly around in certain patterns while hazards like spikes will be littered about on flat surfaces. When Jack collects the key, more diamonds will appear for him to collect as he makes his way to the door.

Tips and Tricks

This is a slow and contained platform game where you're just trying to get all the collectibles in a chamber. Jack's movements are sharp while his walking is quite slow, so try to get a feel for them in a safe space. Certain diamonds are riskier than others so decide which ones are worth your time.
