Overview:
Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan is an 8-bit action adventure game featuring thirteen levels, and is influenced by other classic games including: The Castlevania series, the Mega Man series, and more. The game is about 95% done, and the final game design and programing should be completed within the next couple of months. We have done a lot of research on the Maya culture working on this game, and all of the gods/deities in the game are based on actual Maya gods. Many of the sprites and graphic work on the game is also inspired by actual Mayan architecture.

Prologue:
The Mayan calendar "Haab" nears the end of the great cycle, marking the start of Wayeb, five nameless days that are considered to be extremely unlucky. During Wayeb, the Mayans believe the world is vulnerable and defenseless. Fear fills the hearts of all civilization.
In this time of weakness, Kukulkan, the feared deity, descends to the ancient temple to stop the great cycle from starting anew.
Doomsday draws near. Unless a savior emerges to stop Kukulkan's desire to freeze time.

Story:
You play as Sydney Hunter, an explorer who happens to get trapped inside a Mayan pyramid while he is out exploring the region. He soon discovers that Kukulkan has broken up the important Haab calendar into seven separate pieces, and is hiding them through the area. This has caused chaos, and time will if they Haab calendar isn't found and put back together in time. The local Mayans ask Sydney to now go out and find all seven pieces of the Haab calendar, defeat Kukulkan, and bring peace and balance back to the Mayan civilization, and in doing so restoring time to continue.

Gameplay:
Within Sydney Hunter and the Curse of the Mayan, there are seven unique temple and six additional levels to explore. Each area features new enemies, and each temple features Mayan gods that Sydney must defeat in order to collect each of the missing pieces of the Haab calendar. Throughout Sydney's journey, there are various special items that Sydney can collect to assist in his quest. It's important that Sydney finds and collects as many crystal skulls as he can, because these are needed in order to unlock various temples and areas throughout the game. After every temple, Sydney is transported back to the main Haab calendar room. Within the Haab calendar room are various doors that Sydney can enter, but only if he has enough crystal skulls on hand.
