About Secret Inca
It is a slow and careful 2D arcade platformer that you play one chamber at a time.
Jack has no health and no way to fight back. Touching any enemy or trap kills him in one hit and sends him back to the start of the level. Lose all your lives and the game is over.

The setup is a plain treasure hunting adventure. Jack found the temple and went in hoping to leave rich, but after centuries its traps and animals still do their job. Bats fly around in set patterns, and spikes cover the flat floors you would like to walk on.
Each level starts with Jack on one side of the chamber. Elevators carry him up to higher ledges, and large blocks can be pushed around to give him new places to stand. Picking up the key is not the last step, because more diamonds appear as you make your way to the door.
Jack reacts sharply when you press a key, but his walk is slow. Some diamonds sit in much riskier spots than others, so a big part of the game is deciding which ones are worth a life.
Quick summary
- Jack starts each level on one side of a temple chamber.
- You walk and jump around the chamber, collecting diamonds and looking for the key.
- Once you have the key, extra diamonds show up and the exit door becomes your target.
- A hit from a bat or trap restarts the level, and running out of lives ends the game.
Key features
- You play as Jack, an explorer inside an ancient Incan temple.
- Any enemy or trap kills Jack instantly.
- Elevators and pushable blocks help you reach higher spots.
- Bats follow set flight patterns and spikes sit on flat surfaces.
- The whole game runs on three arrow keys.
Tips & tricks
- Get used to Jack's slow walk and quick jump in a safe part of the chamber before going near danger.
- Watch a bat for a moment to learn its pattern before you cross its path.
- Skip a diamond if reaching it needs a risky jump, since a death costs a life and your progress in the level.
- After grabbing the key, look around the chamber again for the new diamonds before heading to the door.
