The Fall of Elena Temple - v0.7


The final major update before release is here! v0.7 brings the total of rooms to 15 and includes several new mechanics to spice up the gameplay. Check out the details below:


  • 5 new rooms - for a total of 15
  • Crumbling platforms - they start to break when you step on them and you fall through if you stay on or step on after they crumble completely
  • Ladder - use it to move up and down; you can also jump to reach it and you can move left or right to fall from it and even onto other adjacent ladders
  • Arrows - they can shoot from several directions and they respawn when they hit something solid
  • Dash boot - pick it up to enable your ability to dash, moving you a couple of spaces away in the last direction of walking; use dash to avoid obstacles or to leap over small gaps
  • Dialogue bubbles that you already read do not appear again after a restart, but only after starting the room from the main menu
  • New decorations: flowers and curly plants
  • Lowered the amount you need to rotate the crank counterclockwise to three quarters of a circle - this makes it a bit easier to undo, while an even lower value could lead to accidental undos
  • Fixed rare issue with setting undo position in an incorrect place
  • Fixed rare crash scenario


That's a nice healthy list, isn't it? What's left? Well, first of all, the remaining 5 rooms. With a few new mechanics, of course. Then another pass over everything to see if anything needs fixing or improving. Preparing some remaining marketing materials for the final release.

For some additional good news: The Fall of Elena Temple will release fully on October 5th, during the Playdate Direct! Join the stream to watch the release trailer!

I'll see if I can also submit for Catalog in the meantime, once the final build is ready. Keep following for any news in this regard. And please let me know what you think of the new rooms and mechanics or if you found any issues. Enjoy!
