This is such an amazing game. Simple idea, solid mechanics, great execution. It looks amazing and it's just the right amount of difficult, too 5/5x3, one of the best games I've played in this jam.
Thank you!
Yo. I made a top 10 video of the best games I played from the jam.
(Spoiler alert, this game is in it)
Check it out!

Im honored, thank you!
Also I think you described my game better than I could’ve. Lovely video
Haha thank you
Cool idea!!
Well implemented, Good Mechanics.
You just need to work a bit on artworks and your game will be great :)
I get the feeling this wasn't intended. It's super easy with the chest.
No it wasn’t lol.
We discovered it almost an hour before the jam finished, so didn’t have enough time to patch it out
And although I managed to get it to work a little with the bag, I haven’t nearly gotten to the point that I could fly around like that. I commend your skills
It's easier if you hold the up arrow to pull it towards yourself
You hacked the game :D
It would be nice to have a checkpoint reset button because I got stuck out of bounds when an enemy pushed the treasure chest which pushed me through the wall ;/ Other than that, an excellent game 👌
Genuinely had fun with this one in a really frustrating way, if you're goal was to make an annoying precision platformer then you succeeded lol. The money bag having its own weight and not being able to pass through certain objects really makes you need to plan ahead which makes it even more annoying when you miss a jump, I love it! The only recommendation I have is to maybe show the controls at the start of the game, I didn't realise I could change the length of my rope for a few minutes and I had to check the games page to see if I was missing something (I was) when I couldn't make the 2nd jump. But other than that I have no complaints, the game all flows together really well and it looks great too.
Man those spikes were a nightmare. Props on the inventiveness though, real clever idea.
This is a beautiful game and the amount of polish is insane! Took me a minute to get the hang of it, but I really like the concept! Nicely done!
THE PIXEL ART WAS JUST AMAZING, the best one Ive seen in the entire jam. The page also looks really good and the music was also nice. The game was fun to play and at first I didnt knew what the game had to do with the jam but then I read it and it was true and really funny idea. 5/5 in every aspect good job!
One of the best games of this jam (atleast for me). The weight of the treasure and the movement of the player feel amazing! Good job!
Thats high praise, thank you!
I love the art and the gameplay so much! The main character is has so much personality :D I did find an exploit (or maybe it's intentional) which let me breeze through the game hahahaha, but overall it was a very fun experience :D This game could have also worked for 2021's theme, "joined together".
Very good work!
This is game is really nice, the art is amazing, the music too and the physics/gameplay too. I enjoyed it quite a lot. And the interpretation of this theme is also unique. Well done
THIS GAME
Physics were amazing, weight distribution as a mechanic was so creative, and I loved the art! Really fun platforming and creative swinging with the treasure, and thank goodness for checkpoints :)
I did however get softlocked when the mushroom pushed me inside a wall but with ultimate SKILL and DETERMINATION I managed to wall jump (???) while carrying the chest MULTIPLE STORIES by spamming left, right, and jump until the chest touched spikes, which put me back in the level. Surprise challenge, but I was DOWN
5 stars all around.
Im really glad you enjoyed it!
And yeah lol. Literally today I discovered you could wall jump by turning away from a wall while directly next to it, which moves your collider a little bit into it since it’s centered around your hands(for lazy reasons), and then immediately jumping
Also big fan
Getting Over It vibes! Wonderfully unique and perfect for someone who wants a challenge! At first I just thought this would be about swinging around, but actually its about strategically manipulating your mass for certain jumps by either taking the money with you or leaving it, standing on the money bag to reach new places, and making sure it never touches spikes! Excellent work!
Also, it's not as hard, but take a look at our glitch-based puzzle platformer
Wow, you explained it better than I could! I may even steal your description lol. Thank you for your positive review! I will definitely check out your game :)
I loved everything about this game- especially the little character animation. It's subtle but very effective. I'm definitely going to be coming back to this game. Well done!
Please try out my game if you have the chance :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! sure thing :)
Very very good, I was hooked until the end! It's very smart, the characters have such a strange aesthetic, perfect :D
Really cool idea and execution! It was very hard but that's a part of the genre xD
Art and music were very good too
The concept is Nice, but a tutorial could help a lot haha
This was a really fun platformer, and an amusing take on the theme ! Great job ! Did you know players can repeatedly jump using the money bag as a platform ? :D
Thank you! yeah, its intended to be able to jump on it once in the air or as many times as you want if its on the ground, but we only discovered that you could keep jumping on it in the air until it was too late lol. Will definitely get patched as soon as the jam is over but for now we need to live with our shame
Honestly, it made for even more chaos and was fun ! I'd say it classifies in the fun bugs category, no shame to have :)
The game is kinda unique. I hope the mechanics could be introduced clearly in-game.
