An action platformer with an unusual theme (a surprisingly spry Wise Man grabbing lost myrrh for Jesus' birth). The music's a pensive, low-key loop and the cool vibes pair well with the warm, dark colour palette, which makes great use of PICO-8's extended colours. While it seems at first like a straightforward stealth game, you can often get a boost from being hit by the guards, and it does get pretty satisfying to build up fluency with the controls and the map.

My progress: 198 myrrh in 1,547.4 seconds; 60 myrrh in 115.5 seconds
