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.

Getting the gems means nothing and the game can feel complete after getting all the relics in all the right places. If you’re a completionist like myself, finding the secret rooms and secret symbols was easily found through walkthroughs on the internet. The story fell flat for me and how easily you could die was frustrating. For $5, I wouldn’t recommend it. For free with ads, I’d recommend trying it out and then I would have possibly paid $2 if I really liked it. I’m a big fan of platformers with good stories, and would suggest FancyPants Adventures (who’s music is SO GOOD) or Cat Bird for better stories and harder challenges. -- Snickerdoodle4242, 2020-04-28 ### ***** "Slightly ruined by ads" For a paid app, I was surprised to still be bothered by an advertisement at a certain point. Hit the wrong button on your controller and instead of closing the ad it takes you to the app store page for what it's advertising. That's the kind of cleap clickbait BS a cheap app maker would use. It is for that reason that I am docking it 1 star for what normally would be a perfect metroidvania type game. -- h3o5h33, 2020-02-19 ### ***** "Memories" I remember playing this game 5 years ago It was fantastic as always love it 5 stars -- HelpySL, 2019-11-12 ### **--- "Need clues or some kind of guide" Well, I enjoyed the game briefly but not I’m stuck with no hints other than I probably need a flashlight with no idea on how or where to get it. -- JohnnyP702, 2019-09-23 ### ***** "WHAT. A. GAME.!!" I have purchased other games by this developer, and they were simple and more “ quick-fix” games so I was nervous about this one. I was soooo wrong! The amount of detail and exploration potential is insane! It has that old school feel with the graphics, but its hours of fun! I looked online and found a website that has hints to help you... they are worth it! I haven’t been able to put this game down! It’s well worth the $5, and I hope they have a sequel. This is perfect if you have time on your hands- road trip/ vacation/time off/ or just to have some great fun searching for the relics!! Great job on this one!! -- Irishbeauty6, 2019-07-09 ### ***** "Best Game Ever! Sequel Please!" Best Game Ever! Sequel ASAP please! Buy this! You will not regret it! So fun! I have played it three times! -- Jeekae, 2019-04-07 ### ***-- "BEST GAME EVER :D" I love this game. I play it a lot and it never gets boring. But I have on suggestion. Can you add multiplayer? I really want you to add it so you can play with friends. Thanks! -- Jumbo Mumbo is fortnite, 2019-04-01 ### ***** "Fantastic platformer" This game kept me engaged throughout the entire adventure and left me wanting more! I'll play any similar game that Donut Games puts out in the future. -- bares, 2017-09-28 ### ***** "Good game" I hope there's a sequel in the works! -- Ozogirl, 2017-02-26 [View all Traps n' Gemstones reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Traps n' Gemstones Discovered Keywords - traps ## Apps Similar to Traps n' Gemstones - [Doom & Destiny Worlds](https://apptail.io/app/doom-destiny-worlds-hdXb/united-states) - [Unit 404!](https://apptail.io/app/unit-404-OLYc/united-states) - [Unbroken Soul](https://apptail.io/app/unbroken-soul-QqEd/united-states) - [Tiny Dangerous Dungeons](https://apptail.io/app/tiny-dangerous-dungeons-Tlbe/united-states) - [Grizzly 2D Bear Platformer](https://apptail.io/app/grizzly-2d-bear-platformer-rYqg/united-states) - [Inside the pyramid](https://apptail.io/app/inside-the-pyramid-Jkrg/united-states) - [Dutch's Chickens](https://apptail.io/app/dutchs-chickens-aWNg/united-states) - [Elderand](https://apptail.io/app/elderand-MAnn/united-states) - [Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake](https://apptail.io/app/tiny-dangerous-dungeons-remake-akav/united-states) - [Growbot Mobile](https://apptail.io/app/growbot-mobile-nznw/united-states) ## Traps n' Gemstones Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/united-kingdom) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/germany) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/france) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/russia) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/italy) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/switzerland) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/brazil) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/netherlands) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/mexico) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/finland) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/spain) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/hong-kong) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/canada) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/ireland) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/sweden) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/japan) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/czechia) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/austria) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/australia) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/belgium) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/colombia) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/argentina) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/denmark) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/indonesia) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/india) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/lebanon) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/malaysia) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/peru) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/portugal) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/taiwan) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/nigeria) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/dominican-republic) - [Brunei](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/brunei) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/thailand) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/pakistan) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/south-africa) - [Iceland](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/iceland) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/kazakhstan) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/azerbaijan) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/malta) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/ecuador) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/traps-n-gemstones-THsg/belarus) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
