thank you so much for playing! Ha yes the first clear is a bit easier but if you are looking for a challenge, you can play again and the quota gets higher ( 200-350 gold, then 400-600 gold and 800-999 gold). Likewise, I really enjoyed your pixel art as well!

I am very simple, I love turn based and clean pixel art, your game has both! The pixel art and graphics are so fire. I haven't play many space games but the art makes it feel more comfy and enjoyable to explore. It forsure has the game boy soul to it and could really feel it after playing a few rounds. I think the only thing that is missing is some audio/sound which I would love to hear if you ever add! 

Great work and keep it up!

Thank you so much, that means a lot to hear! Similarly I really enjoyed your game and how cute everything was! brings me back to old school gameboy or tamagotchi era ha. 

just wow! I had such a fun time playing this game. The audio and music, just fantastic! The pixel art is simple, clean, and  I reminds me so much of Tamagotchi! The concept is really good and cant wait to see what else comes from this!

Good job! I really like the concept of the treasure making the player older. The music and gameplay are smooth! I also really enjoyed the pixel art as an artist myself. The title screen text is so good ha 

Thank you for playing! Yes! Similar to your game, we wanted there to be some "risk" to stop the player from digging everywhere.

I am really enjoying playing this game! The animations and gameplay are solid. The audio is my favorite part - such a  fun tune and brought me back to classic farming games, like Harvest Moon, on the gameboy. The level completed and gameplay music is so cute. It forsure has that soul to it! 

I gotta say I was pulled in by the cover art! After seeing the itch page, I am in love with the art in this game and on the page. Honestly, it is so clean and has the soul of classic gameboy games. Well done! 

Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed the intro! Similarly, I just played your game and love the story scenes! Sets up the experience forsure for these types of games ha

First, I love the art! From the tiles to color palette, it was such a good choice. I also really appreciated the story, and the story art scenes were a nice touch. It took me a minute to grasp everything but once I did it was fun to play! Lovely work!

thank you for playing! the art was by me and I appreciate the kind words. Oh forsure the game does get a bit harder after each day. If you can get most of your gold the first day, it makes it much easier.

glad you enjoyed! And Likewise, really enjoyed your game it has me thinking overall about enemy battles and behaviors ha! 

I really enjoy the concept of the game! Its like ninja x VALORANT x RPG ha. The pacing was nice and I like the gear opportunity. Well done also with the music and pixels! Good Job

Thank you for playing! glad you enjoyed our approach as we tried to balance the risk and reward system ha

hey it happens! there are always future game jams and or building/releasing a prototype for the portfolio and experience. keep up the work and ya'll got this!

I really enjoyed the concept a fish jumping around and making it's way around. There is gameboy soul and looking forward, if you keep developing, the additions to this game!  Keep up the work and props to concepting and developing! 

I really enjoy the concept that you are playing as old gold, and that things are after you ha. I enjoyed the platformer approach and especially the learning tutorial part in the beginning! It allowed me to get used to the speed and movement. Good job!

hi hi! I would love to play your game once its finished/running. Keep up the work and you got this!

I am sucker for good story set up! Your backstory and dialogue were fun to read. I also appreciate your approach to the theme, wheat as yellow gold is witty. Keep up the work!

I can absolutely feel the gameboy soul in this one. The puzzle / search game is really enjoyable! The sprites are also extremely adorable ha. I think if the movement speed was a tad bit faster, the pacing would feel just right! Keep up the great work!

Yippie - I can see and feel the classic Pac-Man vibes! I haven't played that game in such a long time but this reminded me alot of it! The tunes were nice and I am digging the parry ability. If you continue on this, can't wait to see new add-ons and more. 

I really enjoy the beginning of this concept! The slippery nature of the jumps reminds me alot of Maplestory's snowy map jump quests. While slidey, I got addicted to trying to make each platform ha. Keep it up!

I need to say HOLY COW. I am in love with the art style and just the different visual positions, from top-down, front profile, and more. Even the fish sprites to portraits are just amazingly done. 

I really enjoyed the art (both pixel art and 2d cover!). The gameplay was smooth and as you progress, things ramp up. I used to want to be an archeologist and I can see so much potential with this game for learning ha.

Similar to others who have shared, feel free to reply once the game is up! Would love to play and have been following along the art journey! you got this!

she needs a photo taken for the memories (just played your game and it was fun!).

Really glad to hear you enjoyed the art, gameplay, and overall experience! Thank you for giving it a play! 

Nice work - I love the concept! It's like a battle ships meets RPG Turn Based. This forsure had the theme of classic gameboy whether it was the turn-based experience or the use of shop to improve your battle experiences. 

Thank you for playing and I am glad you enjoyed it! Oh yes - Captain Bell, is not a swimmer lol

I love this approach of "old gold", the valued memories we collective have. ima cry. With the art, it reminds me alot of the classic pixel games which I think doubles the layer on emotions when applying that to the theme 

All in all, this really brought me back to the gameboy games that are fun puzzles and provide that simple relaxation. The music too is nice, almost retro study music, and works well with your approach/design.

Captain Belladonna "Bell" Digger is just that girl. Thank you for the kind words on the character design and gameplay! I am  happy you enjoyed it 

Thank you for kind words and glad you enjoyed playing!

Thank you for asking this. For the tiles when digging, you can choose the direction. Hold down the dig key and then choose the direction (up, down, left, right)! We added this to our itch page too just in case. 

I am a huge fan of Tetris and this just brought me back to the traditional game with more and creative visuals. It forsure brings the soul of the game within a gameboy! The pixel art very nice in how each gem is represented! Lovely work with the music as well, works well with the pace of the game.

It took me a few tries but I forsure got the handle of the game and when to get combos. I think if there was more time, it would be a perfect pace. 

hello! I really enjoyed the graphics as it brings back the old school gameboy experience. What is really cool is the concept of navigation/vista points in this game, that is so creative!

One thing to note, is to make sure to update the browser settings. It was a bit hard to play at the current settings, so I had to zoom in a ton. 

I really enjoy the concept/theme around this being in a tomb and having an pyramid environment. First time playing the movement was really fast which I oddly enjoyed. After that it was just getting used to when to go fast, double jump, and collect coins. The music really wrapped it all together with the tomb theme and the platformer's mechanic

The pixel art in this game reminds me so much of the classic gameboy. Lovely work with the scenes, sprites, and tiles! 

Thank you so much for the kind words! Who doesn't love a pirate who can destroy an island with a shovel, in search for gold ha. 

This was so much fun. I can not remember the last time I actually played a pinball game so it was just unique to see! The pixel art is clear and I enjoyed all the mechanics from the objectives. The sound and music also got me dancing ha. Great work!

the pixel art, battles, and aesthetic is lovely! this makes me really want to play slide scrollers more!
