Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I borrowed the music, background image, and TileSet.
Scripts, sound effects, main character and other art assets were made by me during the Jam time.

I enjoyed this game --  I liked the art style and the general NES vibes, and the coins and player movements were well done.  Nice!

Great game. Love the coin growl.

This was really addicting. The only bug was the players soul flying into oblivion when you died but tbh it was cool to watch. The UI was cut off a bit on my screen and it was a bit hard to notice but the game play was good! I was able to use a controller for the movement but I had to use my keyboard still to jump. The music was very pleasant. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Did you use full screen? I need to work on my camera but you should see the entire UI in full screen.

Fun game! The overall atmosphere feels great and the art, music and sound effects fit really well together. I also like the tie in to the them with some of the coins not being real coins! Overall great job!

was a fun game to play, wish i didnt suck at platformers tho xD

I enjoyed your game. When i saw the preview image i grabbed my controller, but it didn't work for this sadly. These kind of games are so much more fluid when played with a controller. The character felt to move on towards running direction for unintentionally long especially when one would want to quickly turn around and jump to other direction. It happened me about 5 times that i fell from these situations to the ground below or to death. I made it to level 8 which was pretty frustrating because of high camera and uncontrollable trambolins. I loved the enemy coins and fooling them to follow where it's easy for me to dodge them, good idea on those. Thanks for the small game you made!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback. Yea I haven't tried creating a game with controller support, maybe that's next... I wasn't overly happy with my Player Controller either and am spending some time afterwards trying to make it better.

Curious when you say high camera, do you mean you can't see what's below you?

Developer

Controller support added, thanks for the idea!

I really enjoyed this. Interesting idea with balanced difficulty.

Developer

Loved the idea with the enemys :D

Fun game, the coins chasing the player reminded me of the ghosts in Mario.

Developer

Nice picking that up, it was part of my inspiration

Great game. Well done dude!

Submitted(+1)

This was really fun to play! I loved the little coins faces when they tried to eat me. LOL It was entertaining. Great job! :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I enjoyed making the enemy mechanic,  art and sound effect.

Submitted(+1)

Very nicely executed :) This was a fun and enjoyable experience and one I think you should develop further. The style and play reminded me a bit of Super Meat Boy and Celeste. There were some bugs as far as not bouncing on the purple platforms, sometimes I would jump on them and just walk.  I would suggest adding a volume setting too so players can control SFX, Music etc. volume settings. Overall very nice!

Developer(+1)

Interesting, played it a few times and don't think I encountered that bug. I do know that if you hit the corner you might not bounce as much. And walking on them might not bounce you. I'll have to keep testing though, thanks!

Next update will have a volume control too :)

Submitted

Maybe I'm mistaken then and I hit the corner which caused me not to bounce? Either way keep up the solid work!

great work!  the difficulty scaled up really smoothly and never felt unfair.  loved the high jump sound effect xD  nice interpretation of the theme as well, I had fun!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback!

I like the pixel art and the mountain in the backround! The controls are a bit slow but overall good game! 

Developer

Seems to be a consistent complaint, thanks for playing!
