Awesome game! Really like your approach to the theme and the execution is flawless! I have only one question: there is no fish, right? :D

Golden PathThis game is great fun! I didn’t find the secret ending but I will. Eventually.

Golden? nuggets!This is a neat little game! Great catch on the theme as well! The control is really smooth and overall I had a great time playing it!
I don't think there's any feedback I can give for this other than that one time I got a javascript error from the browser during the end scene.
Great job!

Gacha Impact 2DI LOVED this! It's so rewarding when you "get" it, and the controls are simple but flawless. So far my favourite game in this jam. Really well done!

LifesourceVery clever game, I love the "secret" ending! The art is cute and the shaking mechanic is top notch. Well done.

Jewel HeistGreat concept and take on the theme! Had a hard time putting it down! Took me a little too long to catch the hints of course but was also having fun getting rich while starving to death!

A Home Among The StarsVery neat little game, After I found out about the extra things you can do it makes a lot of sense and im surprised i didnt catch the hints. Nice work and congrats on your game. Thanks for watching the livestream I did of it as well.

The Lost RelicI LOVE the idea.
What seems to be a game to find gold nuggets, ends to be a classical graphic adventure with a timer.
Well done. Very clever. Very well done.

All that glitters is not goldI wasn't sure if I would trick people properly, but it seems I did a pretty good job! A lot of the design went into making sure the player knew what the game was about, when it was actually something else. Didn't want people to know right away, but didn't want them to miss it either, seems like I really hit home :)
Thanks for playing and for the feedback :D
Great, nailed the brief.
Was great fun and good sense of humour!
Really good job!

The Pyrite ContractLove it. I like how the game wasn't what it seems at first. Even just the gold panning part is a fun mini game.
Nicely done.

Gold in the WebSo i played it once through, thinking, oh kool, nice to see some Gold panning :D.
Then i finish it, get the booing and think,.. hmm not sure about this.
Come read the comments and gather that i've pretty much missed the entire actual games :D.
Not sure how, but I could have done with a slightly greater hint that there's more :P. maybe something in the background that moved.
(might have helped if i'd watched the trailer :P, or got the key on my first go through :D).
But great work one a fun little puzzler game. I finally got to rest and eat soup :D

Gem MountainsI'm glad the comments pointed you in the right direction! I'll definitely try to make it more obvious if I do a similar project in the future. Maybe making the color of the key item slightly off or something like that could have helped? And I agree the key should appear more often, I might just boost the luck to 100% just so it's obvious...
Thanks for playing and for the constructive feedback :)
Aw damn, just searching for some Gold Nugget... oh wait... there is a key... wait, there is a door with a lock... there... is a fireplace... THERE IS MORE
took a while but you got me into this! Would be awesome to see the time at the (real) end so we can challange us :)
Good game, everything fits well, the visuals, audio, it fits to the theme, well done :)

GolDetective33 secs left! Amateur hour! Messed up on the level with the carrots, lol. Great concept and mood. And er nice slurp sounds!

The Catacombs of VeniceAt first I was ohhh you know how to win me, with a gold panning simulator. I pan. I pan. I pan. But I can't win the game. Why?
Then I found something...
Really fun game. I loved how it turned to be something else than just getting gold. :)

Oak IslandThanks man! I was a little scared that people wouldn't understand the goal. I did keep the timer short, so people don't waste too much time at first with the panning, but I've also got some feedback that it's not enough time for what you need to do once you figure the real game. It's kind of a hard thing to balance properly.
I really liked the game! good twist on the theme for sure :) Got me finding all those nuggets for nothing :O It took me a good 4 or 5 shakes to get the key. I wonder if someone could miss the slurp ending because of that. That ticking clock got me nervous to finish the game as fast as possible!! Great pixel art I like it!! Thanks for sharing
