Hey, this is pretty good! At first I was failing to reach the end in time and wondered why until I understood that golden coins actually slow you down. The running animation could use some tweaking but I apreciate the main character actually has various facial expressions.

Nice work!

Glad you enjoyed! We're planning on tweaking the animation and doing an update in the future.

I like the story very much! :)

I would add something more to the gameplay. When I was still at the stage of prototyping during this jam, I was thinking about a similar game where the collected gold slows you down, but I wanted to add a mechanism that sometimes you want to be "light" (because you have a lot of jumping or you run uphill), and sometimes you want to be heavy (because you go down the hill, so the heavier the faster), then you can change tactics during the game and this gives additional depth.


Good job!

Developer

Thanks! And I really like your suggestion - maybe something for us to add later

I am glad I was not the only one thinking of theming my game, in which the player's abilities, running and jumping, are hindered due to number of gold the player picks up. The idea is similar to a Mario Maker level, where the player's objective should be not to pick up a Super Mushroom. I think the differences between our games, is our type of game, in which yours is an auto runner, and mine is a 2D platform game, which I have yet to finish.  I was unable to beat the level, but I liked how by the 15th gold coin pick up, the character visually is struggling to even run. Very nice job!
