Submachine Zero: the Ancient Adventure

Original label: there are three facts about this game that you need to know: 1. this game was created for JayIsGames flash games contest and has nothing to do with the main submachine series storyline. It had to meet the contest’s specifications, hence… 2. this game is short. And I mean it. Don’t expect dozens of locations to wander around solving countless puzzles, this game is shorter than Submachine1. 3. this game uses completely new game engine, which I rewrote from scratch. For example, there is a new way of using items that you collect. Its more like ‘take the item and put it back’ than ‘drag and drop over something’, like it was in previous submachine games. So think of it as a small warm up before ‘Submachine4: the Lab’, which I am already developing. Till then – have fun with this ancient adventu
