Nice job, probably the most playable game in the jam I've played so far. Core game loop is tight and fairly easy to master.
Not sure if there is an end to the game other than death - made it through at least 10 rooms with a score of 69k+ ?
Good job!

Super fun! Movement felt smooth and I love all of the visual and sound effects. I particularly liked the built-in transitions between rooms. With all of the action going on, sometimes the gold pickups blended into the background and were hard to see. Other than that, awesome work! :)

Grave DiggerI really like the VFX and the music! Really adds to the ambience. I also like how the gold power-ups could be power-downs. Really just the luck of the draw. Great job sticking to the theme! ;)

Jewel HeistI love the the shooting visual effects and music (which is not only nice to listen to, but also doesnt get bored quickly, which is rare in games where one track is looped).
I see that you aproach to the theme was similar to my thinking - so powerups that are sometimes good and sometimes bad. My problem with this solution when the collectibles are random is that as a player I have no way of predicting or at least suspecting what may be behind it. In this sense, I am actually collecting everything. What would be interesting for me is if the content was dependent on something. Even the simple thing that, for example, there are two colors of collectibles - and in one room yellow is good and in another it is bad. So at the beginning of a given wave, I have to check by trial and error which is which.
But that's not a complaint, I liked the game very much. Rather, I am throwing it as a topic for discussion and consideration.
PS: Great work with streaming!

Munchies!Dudeeeee! Awesome Top Down Shooter!
I thouhgt The boss will never die but it's great to kill it.
It took me a while to realize that the yellow glowing thing could be good, the first one I grab slows me down, so I went through almost the hole level without power ups.
Awesome game!

King's Cursegreat game! controls are nice and I like the way you implement the theme. are you planning to continue developing this game? good job!

Gacha Impact 2DPretty cool game. Polish is great and controls feel really nice. The 'bad' 3d models lend to the charm, too. I got a little frustrated when powerups would spawn right on you and you'd lose everything. Or do powerups time out after a bit? Either way, i'd suddenly be powered down after actively avoiding powerups.
Also really wish machine gun and shotgun powerups stacked!
Great job on this. Feels great, looks great, plays great. :)

Jump Over the Rainbow!I have a lot of fun playing this. Love how both the graphic and the story is so unserious.

Gold in the Webeverything was escalating so fast and I absolutely loved it. after a certain point my brain cells were committing suicide lol.
Very fun game, as I expected from an OG .
Off the topic, I saw your stream and I just have to say. awesome beard mate. lol

Greed Is Good(Or Maybe Not)Thanks a lot for playing, yeah its a pretty mighty beard lol. Been working on it for a while.
Thanks for watching the stream. I felt pretty comfortable streaming which is surprising i expected to get a lot of anxiety and be nervous but was not so I will try to do a lot more and will try to get to your game as well I added it to the list.
Great game play, really enjoyed it.
Yes it could have more variety of enemies, yes it could have different room layouts... but for me that doesn't really matter... it was great fun and did exactly what I wanted from that type of game.
Great job!
