| Description | The whereabouts of the ancient shrine of gold, is a matter hotly disputed among many communities of ninjas around the world. Some ninjas are positive that such a place doesn't exist, but they are mistaken. Only a few, those who have lived long and successful lives, are honoured with the knowledge of the position of the shrine. It is rumoured to be full of sacred gold, said to be made of pure, compressed time, that gives you everlasting life. The shrine is said to be situated in a particularly rigid spot in time itself. A door in the entrance chamber of the shrine is connected to another at the bottom of The Pit of Drones. You, a young, determined and unusually talented ninja, have managed to extract the information on how to find the shrine and have just reached the door at the bottom of The Pit, having already made your way past many a patrolling drone and turret. Passing through the door into the entrance chamber, you hear the faint clank of machinery. Dropping down onto a platform, you are greeted with several vigilant yet rusty, old drones, which continually patrol the rooms in an attempt to keep out any intruding ninja. The musty air reeks of oil, the walls are covered with scorch marks and mines, a white haze billows through small cracks as pure time leaks through the solid walls, and dotted around the place are more zap drones who have long since lost the ability to move and just sit silently, still. The only comforting thing is the warm glow of the gold lying in the deep vaults.
Your job - collect all the gold that left over from previous ninja looting parties in the first three vaults, then try and discover the way into the fourth hidden vault, and a way to freedom. stories ftw. enjoy. |

Dear NUMA,
ChrisE here! I'm just enjoying my holiday out here in the tropics... sun... sea... sand... an ancient temple full of sacred gold... Yeah! That's right!
You didn't believe me when I said it existed, but I didn't mind. It meant I got to keep the treasure for myself, but I've taken my fill, and I thought I'd let you guys know about it.
Some of the safety mechanisms still work... and the jumps are tricky, but we are NINJAS. There's also a cool teleporter mechanism, if you can find it...
P.S. There is definitely NOT a curse.
— ChrisE

Gold-Filled Time-Compression Vaults?
Yes.
There's an apse for that.
Meh, stage seemed cramped, and predictable.
But, I really liked the description. 3.5/5?

I'm going to be honest, I agree with atob.
apse has always been one of my favorite mappers here, but he has done much, MUCH better than this.
2011-04-02
Aww, thanks atob.

Not entirely incompetent
I liked the review.

atob strikes once more with his
"Hey look everybody, the featurers are incompetent" appraoch.

2/5
The nan'd drones seem like true glitches, and the free drones feel far too restrictive. The chamber on the left with the thwumps is a frightful mess.
I honestly can't find anything about this to set it as above average.

Sub 1900 AGD
Less badass, but quicker.
This map gets insanely easier with each retry

Badass AGD (but not all that fast)
I don't like how the drone paths seem to want to make you wait so much (or at least do near impossible things to get through). The gameplay is fun though, a bit touch and go.

1) The map looks nice, I will play it later.
2) "This video contains content from SME. It is not available in your country."

There are two reasons I didn't.
1) It only applies for half the day, and featuring an awful map is harsh.
2) There is no reason two. [ussu.co]

Oh wow
