Warning: May contain crystal skulls!

La Mulana, a challenging free-form platformer in ancient Mayan ruins, is now available on GOG.com for only $9.99. That's 33% off the regular price until Thursday, October 11 at 10:59 AM GMT.

The ancient Mayan city of La-Mulana is said to hold innumerous secrets. The mysterious tribe guarding it from the outside world claims that the ancient knowledge locked within the forgotten tombs holds the key to understanding the purpose and origin of life itself. A daring young archeologist by the name of Lameza Kosugi--an Indiana Jones lookalike with Japanese roots--takes on the quest to unravel the mystery of the foreboding ruins. With his trusty whip (standard archeology-issue) and a vintage "Mobile Super X" laptop, he ventures into the unknown. Some say that he might be the chosen one. Otherwise the tribe of protectors wouldn't let him go anywhere near the ruins. True question remains: does he really have what it takes to face the treacherous traps, menacing monsters, and gigantic guardians of La-Mulana?

The original low-res version of La Mulana met with critical acclaim as one of the most difficult and elaborate indie platformers of the 2000s. Its high-res remake delivers the same challenge and scale but this time with colorful pixel-art graphics your eyes can feast upon. Gamers worldwide fell in love with La-Mulana's free-form archeological action/exploration gameplay. Now it's your turn to put on an adventurer's hat, grab that handy whip, and set off for the huge Mayan ruins, that hold the secret of the origin of life on Earth. Don't miss out on one of the greatest challenges for the fans of platformer genre!

Search every corner of the ancient ruins, reach seemingly unreachable platforms, and defeat many fearsome guardians to uncover the secret of La Mulana, for the launch promo price of only $9.99!

Maybe it's the cartridges. The original used the names of actual MSX games. Perhaps if GOG got Metal Gear 1&2 on board...
Yes! I've been hoping to see this here eventually. I love a good platformer, and they are so rare these days. Perfect addition to GOG. Instabuy!
Damn it! Another awesome looking game out of the blue that I'll have to buy. At this rate I'm going to need my children to fullfill the sacred duty of clearing my backlog.

afe89: At this rate I'm going to need my children to work in the mines.
Fixed that for you. =P
Hmmm no thanks, even if I had money I wouldn't buy this for $9.99.
For $5.99 I would've thought about it (if I had money).

Maybe that and I'm sure the lack of a official English translation doesn't help
Huh, I had heard that the La-Mulana guys were looking to bring the game to GOG, I take it that worked out? :)
Was waiting for this one to pop up! Wishlisted for now tho.
Sigh... yet another low-res 2D game with hi-res text.

Dear indie developers,

Can you nix the hi-res text please? If you want to make a game with hi-res text, then make all the artwork hi-res too. Otherwise, stop compromising your glorious retro 2D visuals. Thanks.

Nope, not at all. GOG just took my money, and I got no game.
Oh my yes. Seriously considering picking this up, I absolutely loved the original.
The graphics look amazing and polished, and the game mechanics look quite innovative. A pity this isn't a PSP game, I'm not playing PC platformers.

I think if this game became very famous they'd be in for a lawsuit from the IP owners of Indiana Jones (archeologist, archeologist's father, brown outfit, hat, whip, Treasure of Life...)

I feel your pain, mixed resolutions bug the hell out of me too.
