Use of the limitation
Treasure Hunter is a platform game where you collect coins, but those coins weigh you down and make it difficult to... platform.

No time to bake, but the world's supply of Twiglets has taken a dent.

Very nice game. Loved all of it!

Altogether a very good package. Really nice art and music, lovely animation, clever level design.

Slightly frustrating at times, but fun from start to finish. I particularly like the "toll gate" mechanic--it forces you not to merely avoid coins, but to strategically collect the minimum number.

One suggestion if you were to develop this game further: you might want to implement some kind of reward for finishing a level with more coins. This adds further tension to the risk/reward analysis.

This is entirely on point! I’m gonna flesh this out a bit – watch this space etc – and that’s the first thing I want to do. That and improve the platforming.

This was a great game with very nice sprite work, smooth mechanics, and satisfying sound design. I only have two complaints. First, it seems you're using rounded colliders for the player so he slips of edges, which made some jumps harder than they should've been. Second, I just want more. More levels, more cool mechanics, more everything. Great work.

I’m actually going to flesh this out a bit more, I think! Thank you for playing – I’m entirely with you on your complaint re: the rounded colliders. Unity’s rigid bodies are unforgiving!

Nice Game....i think that a coyete time jump would be a good choice for this game.Great job

Developer

Oh yeah, for sure! I think I might flesh this out a bit further, which the first priority is coyote time (and holding down the button to jump higher/further/etc). It could take some time. I’m still a noob.

You've made my pixel art look like a joke and have caused my brain to hurt

Developer

Oh god I just realised my credits edit didn’t go through on bad internet! The art is all from o_lobster’s fantastic Metroidvania pack!

Submitted

Oof, I made all my pixel art and it looks bad lol

Developer

I am the worst artist in the world. Like, a stick figure is beyond me. So you’re doing great!
