Very well executed and interesting concept!

I really like the idea of being a collectible coin rescuing their kind :)! The jump feels pretty nice, though the fast camera movement involved in it made me a little dizzy. There wasn't much challenge involved, as the hero was unfortunately really difficult to come by: I could camp in the brick room all day waiting for coins to pop up if I wanted. A faster strategy would obviously be to keep collecting the ridiculous amount of money in the out-of-bounds section, but that's the kind of secret that renders the rest of the game meaningless once you know about it :(.

If you plan on adding a leaderboard after the jam, I suggest balancing the way to gain score first, as well as adding a timer or a real threat for a more interesting challenge. Nonetheless, wish you good luck in the future and congrats on the entry :)!

Thank you for the constructive criticism, really appreciate it. This is the kind of comment I’ve been longing for!

Also the secret area is just a reward for people who explore, but coins shouldn’t spawn there more than once!

Thanks for the review, ❤️

Nice implementation of roles reversed. Really good job on movement/jump system!

Neat idea. I feel like you can implement something that can make the abilities of the coin and adventurer different like the adventurer having a projectile.

I wasn't prepared for the hero to come along and eat me. love the idea of playing as a coin instead. The sound adds a lot. Great job!
