    I completed this a month or two ago, but in looking for a good adventure/platformer I find myself checking back to see if Donut has decided to release a new or expanded adventure..? Have they indicated one way or another?

    I really need to located a few other games similar to this ASAP. I already miss this game. My finger keeps hovering over the app icon thinking (wishing) I still had at least 50% left to complete..!

    Check these titles see if they'd scratch the itch for you. These are all metroidvania-type games so they share some similarities with Traps N Gemstones.

    Im surprised you still havent. I have always tried picking up everything in my path even after respawns, yet it took me about 10 hours to complete the game. I imagine if you rush the game it could take about 3 hours to complete.

    I agree this game is oneof the best platformers.

    Updates and new platform

    Traps is now released on Steam, with support for keyboard controls (cursor keys or anything you configure) and USB gamepads.

    We've also improved the save game system, so that you can quit playing at anytime without losing your score.
    This improvement will be reflected on iOS and Android too in the next update.

    Thanks for the update. Any plans and timetable for adding new levels to the iOS version?

    Since it's a finished product, with no actual "levels" but a story that goes from start to an end, adding levels (or rooms) would just be wierd.... and break the story.


    We are normally the sort of developer who treat our fans with level updates, but in Traps' case, a sequel would be a much better fit than a couple of level updates.

    That's just a little cross promotion for another one of their games. I don't find it annoying at all. Also, it won't show up again until they release another new game.
