Skale's hoard will be save with me! As soon as I figure out how to steal it all! But seriously, the game was really fun to play! This would make a really good mobile game, where you need to keep the treasure out of the lava!

I love the art style and it's a creative idea for fitting the theme! I wish there were more choices for constructing the platform like hanging chains, maybe.

Lumi's Radiant AscentThere are some stone pillars sticking out of the lava you can build onto. They're a bit hard to see. Also, beware of the stones, they are very heavy so they can really tip over the whole construction if not placed above a solid foundation. Try to be resourceful, as if the gold goes below Skale's greed the game is over, so don't spend all the gold you have. Kepp an eye out for the greed (the second number).
Well executed, I like the idea, and the art is cute, but the gameplay feels like it is missing something. There isn't enough meaningful decision-making for the player, and not nearly enough happens as a result of their choices. Maybe you could add pegs or something like those arcade coin machines and allow the player to place objects to route the coins to the proper place or something? I'm sure you have better ideas, but something of that nature where the player feels like they are making an impact and things are happening due to their choices.
Either way, this is still a great jam submission. Excellent work!

SCALDRIS : The Arcane ArchitectThis game is adorable! It's simple but not monotonous. The artstyle is eye-pleasing and Skale is the cutest! ♥ Makes you want to play more than once. Good job!

Nearest NeighborI love how simple the game's mechanics are. That made the game pretty fun to play!
Also, please find a better lair next time, Skale. Lava and gold do not mix.

Scale the Windy MountainI think I'm getting obsessed with playing dragon themed games this jam but your dragon game is way too cute to ignore ^^ Bless you Skale I'm sorry for dropping your hoard into lava for the Nth time.

GOGOGO BOT!Very pretty game, and definitely a challenge! It did take me a long time to notice the pieces sticking out of the lava as they blended into the background, and also it would have been nice to have an option to speed up the animations at the end, but overall quite fun!

Network EffectI really enjoyed playing this, I got stuck playing over and over again. First I was very frustrated with the stone blocks, then I finally understood that they can stand on lava and its not meant to just throw all your gold into the lava when the stone blocks tilts your platforms.
Well made and fun! Goo djob!
