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.

Ratings and Reviews
Good but small metroidvania
It’s a fun game of exploring, opening new areas with new equipment. Sometimes a bit puzzling and the map isn’t very detailed. Game is a bit short, could do with some expanding. However well worth getting.
SW
This is a really great game, I just wish it wasn't as short. For the money I would have wanted more levels.
A great game
My favourite iOS game to date. Great well thought out controls. Beautifully put together and fun. Can't put this game down. Shame I can't share progress between iPhone and iPad.
