TRAPS N' GEMSTONES is an adventurous platform game, among gamers typically known as the "Metroidvania" genre, from Donut Games, the developer behind chart-toppers Traffic Rush, Sunday Lawn, the "Rat On A" series and many others.
THE PLOT
Precious relics have suddenly started to disappear from a well-hid pyramid that has been guarded by Bedouins for generations, who claim to have spotted an unknown perpetrator.
As a freelance archaeologist and expert on ancient explorations, you've been secretly called in to Egypt to help them solve the mystery.
Arriving at the pyramid's entrance empty handed, your journey starts off by searching some well-known chambers for items and weapons to help you on your quest.
But as you get deeper into the pyramid, you begin to realize that this mystery will require more than just a whip, a sharp mind and a good amount of explosives to unravel.
GAME FEATURES
- Easy to use D-PAD controls
- Non-linear gameplay: Walk around and explore freely
- Non-destructive gameplay: When failing, you don't restart from the beginning, but at the entrance of the current chamber
- MAP OVERVIEW: Keep track of visited areas
- INVENTORY OVERVIEW: Keep track of found weapons, items and relics
- VARIETY IN GAMEPLAY: Run, roll, swim, slide, ride mine carts, etc
- NO IN-APP PURCHASES: Buy the game, get everything
- Real-time sound spatialization: Hear the sound dynamically adapt to your surroundings, from large chambers to underwater swims

I love this game. It is challenging because there are many places to discover and go to complete the game and some things are difficult to master. In fact just mastering moving and jumping the little man in certain areas is not easy. You have to use two hands sometimes to master some movements, and I have a tremor that makes it harder. There are only 25 items you need to find but getting through some areas, like the water, with all it's traps can cause you to kill the man. However you don't have to start over each time you die. It's a great game that I find fascinating and one which I can't put down. You'll find the same thing I'll wager. I RECOMMEND THE GAME HIGHLY.

At least it was good until I tried to play it on my LG3 with Android Lollipop! Now I have no way of using the whip. There is no dot to press like on different phones and tablets. It works very well on my Nexus 10 with Lollipop! Please fix!

Very good game. Only one thing is needed for developers for my opinion: please make an option reset/don't reset highcore after the death. It is very interesting just to find all gems everywhere and it's very bore to pick up all of them from scratch every time.

It's a fun game but way too short for the money. Should only be 1.99$ at the most.

Nice graphics. Fun little puzzle but nothing overly difficult. LOT of backtracking. Reviews I've seen called it a Metroidvania game but I wouldn't go that far since there are no bosses. Don't understand why the gems/coins are there as they don't mean anything short of attaining a high score which doesn't reward you anything. This game is more akin to Pitfall. Still, a fun little game .

Excellent platform game. Lots of exploration and discovery. I enjoyed it so much i sat down playing it for 3 hours tonight. Found all the relics, and now i am sad to see the game over... but i didnt find any of the secret rooms, so that is something to look forward to on my next playthrough. The only thing i feel the game is lacking are bosses. Still, a fantastic game. Good job to the developer!

I strongly recommend this one. It's got that Metroid/Castlvania vibe to it. You won't regret buying this, if classic platformering is what you're looking for. Its hard to find them on Google Play (above average one's, that is), but they're out there. Try these as well; Rico: A tale of Two Brothers, Acsent of Kings, Pizza Boy (by Acne Play), Meganoid 2, Bloo Kid 2 and Mini Dash. I totally love Traps n' Gemstones!

After all the small games donut has made this is the best yet. They went from the short skill games they are known for and comes out with this gem. A straight metroidvania adventure puzzle game that is huge challenging and most importantly its fun as hell. Worth the money for all the content and im guessing dlc later with new areas. Great job guys very impressed.

A pretty good game but a bit short for the price. More levels or a follow up would be very welcome.

It's not often I find a game that I spend more than a couple of hours with, but this was one of them. It's not often that I play a game to utter completion (100% secrets, items, rooms and symbols) either. And in the process, none of it felt like a grind of frustration nor boredom. Of course, the ultra responsive controls helped lots, as well as the infinite lives with checkpoints upon entering each room. Plus, to top it all off in a platformer, there is no double-jumping (cheapness) anywhere to be found! Every secret can be obtained without needing to think about finding some non-existent springy/bouncy boots or shoes!

Great mobile game. Please make more. A shop to upgrade equipment with collected gems NOT IAPs would make it perfect.

The look is amazing, like a snes game in an Indiana Jones type setting. The gameplay is like a platformer with multiple play styles, barrel shooting, cart riding, swimming and exploring. The story is a typical one but good and funny. Just wish there was an option to toggle score collecting and 100% collecting, making the coins and gems stay gone after getting them and maybe something to spend them on, its one hit your dead so maybe on hearts or bullets or a secret chamber locator on map.
