I love the art and your implementation for it. Looks totally legit old school.
Game idea was interesting as well, I found myself bargaining with the collectors essentially setting the difficulty for the quest. I wasn’t able to find the treasure on the island though, looks like I’ve missed something in the description, but nonetheless I managed to gather the funds needed for the new ship and sail away.
I’ve also loved the second level, the way you can teleport with the mirrors to get away from enemies were brilliant.
Surely a great entry! Would love to see more of that.
