I jumped over the sneaks and got that gold to buy a sun hat for the lady friend.  Then I ended up in heaven I think.  Lady friend was happy.

PS: Nice job finishing something in only 48 hours!

lol. Thanks! I wish I got more completed, but one small step am I right?

You used gold and a bit of a reverse on the golden rule... revenge or stealing back. So... you're doing to them what they did to you. But the golden rule is really more about treating others how you want to be treated. So that's like wanting them to steal the gold from you all over again LOL  

A few things I noticed: If you hit golden luckies from underneath it stops your body like hitting a ceiling. I also think it would've been better to use something more noticeably different than bronze. It made it too easy to accidentally pick one up thinking it was gold. The little sparkle was hard to notice as you're running. It looked great on the last scene where you fight the two sneaks though since the sun glinted off them. Maybe just changing the lighting in the first scene would make it more obvious which is which :)  Jump was mapped very odd, most games use A to jump. When possible you should stick to convention so it is not confusing and so it is more comfortable. It felt very odd to jump with Y.  I wish there were a crouch. I hit the last bronze lucky with my feet a bunch of times losing all my gold and having to start over. Also, one of the sneaks hit me with his foot as he was falling down dead and I took damage. Your music is nice but a little overwhelming. It seems very "epic" like it would play during a big scene in a large movie like lord of the rings or something. I would have liked something softer and subtler that can run constantly in the background and not draw your attention too much.

Good job!

Good points. And it makes sense, too!

It was kinda fun! I was laughing out loud when I punched the enemies because of how funny it looked. I was also laughing at the ending!

I would've liked to see something that made the game unique, aside from a typical 2D platformer. I didn't really see a tie to the theme at all, aside from the presence of gold.

The main thing I like was the animation, haha!


I almost wasn't able to play because I don't have an Xbox controller. I have a PS4 controller and Switch Pro Controller though, and only the Switch controller worked. Highly recommend PC controls! If there are not many reviews for the game at the end of the jam, that might be one why.

Nice work :) , steam VR opened when i started the game for a moment i thought it was a VR game :)

Developer

Oh darn. I wonder why it did that. This is technically my first real game submission xD 

Developer

I'm thinking I would have to uninstall the plug in for VR when packaging the game. I think. lol, don't completely know :D
