The challenge

Deep in the heart of the South American rainforest, in the lost Temple of Algoritmo, lie the fabled Jewels of Heuro. Protecting them are zombies who have guarded the secrets of the jewels through the centuries.

As a treasure hunter, your aim is to collect all jewels before the zombies reach you. Are you ready?

Congratulations to Víctor Paesa for finding the shortest route (so far…) in the 8-jewel chamber! Can you find a shorter one?
