a whole minute and all i got was 1 gold smh. the concept of this game is kinda cool! i like the swinging rope mechanics and how that helps you create a path for you to get as much gold as possible! i do wish i was that gold miner irl because im super broke but thats besides the point. this game is super awesome!

Fun little game, the swinging could be a bit faster. Loved it though :)

Reverse SisyphusThanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed; the visuals and swinging mechanic were definitely the priority components! Fully agree on the ease of “enemy” avoidance - occasionally they make a piece of gold inaccessible but for the most part mushrooms are practically set dressing. The original plan had a combination of passive (mushroom) and active (falling rocks) obstacles to make for more interesting evasion gameplay, but had to be cut down for time - something to return to for polish after the jam concludes!
It was a great little game; I enjoyed playing it. I suggest that the timer be removed to make it a better game. Just keep increasing the mushroom spawns or some other enemy until it overwhelms you

The Cliff of Doom [Trijam 295]The timer’s definitely a bit… unnecessarily frustrating, yeah. In an ideal world there’d be more meta-elements, such as the ability to spend gold to increase the amount of time you have?
I have a mild personal desire to avoid endless runners, but I can’t deny that the version of the game you describe does sound more fun. Perhaps an ‘endless’ mode as an alternative to the timed challenge is the compromise the game needs!
Thanks so much for playing; I’m really glad you enjoyed.
