This was one of the many ideas on my brainstorm sheet lol but I don't think I could have made it better than what you have here. I chose a different idea tho. you can check it out here: https://itch.io/jam/mini-jam-85-gold/rate/1137551

Thank you for playing!

Cool game with some nice visuals. Gameplay lacks much strategy. It would be cool if the ground tiles did something, like maybe you move slower in mud, or have to avoid the cactuses. Overall though I enjoyed it, and it's very good for a 3 day jam.

I am glad you liked my game :)! Thank you for your suggestions, I had something like that in mind, but I didn't have time to code it.

Really cool game, quite enjoyed looking for gold, even if the game refused to reward me with it!

Played the game on stream, in case you wanted to see some gameplay:

Thank you for playing and recording my game :). Let's say it's unintentional feature of the game with "fake gold" :D ;).

Really nice concept, I feel like the shop needs some balancing (1 second more for 500 gold seems like a lot), but the gameplay is nice!

I am glad you liked concept of this game, thank you for you feedback :)!

(Try to buy that one second, then you will know, why it's so expensive. I think it's balanced enough.)

I liked the concept of this! :) I'm not sure about the move/timer thing, since it didn't really hurt you to change maps, I never really felt the need for making a trade there. But other than that, I enjoyed it! :)

I am glad you liked concept of this game, thank you for you feedback :)!

(If you are close to gold, or you are on the gold and you don't have enough energy, there is a reason to make a trade.)

The screens and gold mechanics were a little janky but overall really good game.

Thank you. Yes, I know, it was little bit buggy. But I didn't have time to fix it...
