About Run From Mummies

Survive the Mummies!

A group of unsuspecting tourists has crashed their van into a long-forgotten pyramid, and now there’s no turning back. As they venture deeper into the tomb, they’ll face dangers lurking around every corner—but the biggest threat of all? The ancient pharaoh himself, come back to exact his revenge!As a tourist, you’ll only have your ultra-powerful camera to protect you from the denizens of the pyramids. Your camera can charge up a blinding flash to trigger deadly traps, destroy scarabs, and even stun mummies—if you can hold out long enough. The longer you charge it, the more powerful the flash becomes, but the mummies close in fast! Will the camera charge in time, or will you be overwhelmed?

  • Diverse Mechanics: New enemies and traps are introduced every few levels to keep the gameplay fresh all the way to the end.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Run From Mummies as a charming, fast-paced arcade game with surprisingly good humor, story, and voice acting that captures a Saturday morning cartoon vibe. The gameplay loop of navigating levels while avoiding enemies and solving puzzles is engaging, with plenty of content, helpful achievement markers, and solid difficulty progression. Common concerns include that the title and early levels don't make the strongest first impression, and some mention the game deserves more attention despite being underseen by the broader audience.

This was really fun. It reminded me of an old Saturday morning cartoon in good ways. An irreverent group of tourists bumbles into an ancient story that was surprisingly good. The gameplay is all arcade style running around, snapping photos, luring enemies into traps, solving some basic puzzles. The game is decently long too, in fact it goes from being almost intimidatingly long at first to seeming like it's almost over really fast because of how fun and fast-paced the action is. Mopping up the final achievements afterwards was fun. The game tells you which levels have something hidden in them, which is a huge relief as going through 100+ levels trying to see where you missed something would be awful otherwise. The game presentation makes a big deal about co op but it's entirely solo-friendly. I think my main criticism is that you unlock additional tourists to play as, but many of them seem like downgrades over the basic tourist as their special abilities don't do much and they start with less health or bandages, and then there's one who is just straight up by far the strongest character in the game imo. It's a very minor criticism though. Overall really fun, worth the price. I'm…

Run From Mummies, developed and published by Lost Turnip, LLC, is a fast-paced 2D action adventure that mixes arcade reflexes with light puzzle mechanics inside a chaotic, mummy-infested pyramid. Framed around a group of unlucky tourists who awaken an ancient curse, the game transforms a classic adventure trope into a frantic survival challenge. From the very first level, it establishes a rhythm built on movement, timing, and split-second decisions as players dash through corridors while undead threats relentlessly pursue them. The core gameplay loop revolves around navigating compact, handcrafted levels filled with traps, environmental hazards, and waves of pursuing enemies. Unlike traditional platformers or top-down shooters, the emphasis is not on defeating foes outright but on managing distance and space. Players can sprint to gain ground or pause momentarily to charge and release a camera flash that stuns enemies and triggers certain mechanisms. This mechanic creates a constant tension between movement and control. Stopping to activate the camera can save you from being overwhelmed, but doing so also leaves you vulnerable if timed poorly. This risk-reward balance becomes incr…

What a genuine good game, breaks my heart to see this never popped off. I still have hope that a streamer or anybody finds this randomly and gives it some well deserved spotlight. Potentially a rly rly good party game Aside from any of that: I rly enjoyed the story here. A very fun mix of humor, historicially accurate themes and topics, good gameplay and artstyle and a cool soundtrack. Huge shoutout to almost all voiceactors in this. For such a small team they did an phenomenal job As critic points, I could see alot of people not even give this a chance cause its named "Run from Mummies". Just not the most engaging title I fear. Also the very first few levels are not great. I could see alot of players jump off early cause its not too interesting. Please give this a chance, theres so many fun ideas here Big fan and thank you for this fun game
