You got me to play until the end, so nicely done. Upgrade games are fun. Nice job for 8 hours especially.

Nice straightforward gameplay, with a really well built levelling system. The game is in desperate need of sound though. :/

xatulu 2013-08-26 11:03

Couldn't find openal32.dll :/

Its a great game that keeps you playing, i liked the upgradable stats and overall the game would be much better if it had a coin collection sound.

tiffi 2013-08-26 11:07

Love the upgrade system. Not really sure if the magnet does anything. Finished after 42 rounds!

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 11:15

@Xatulu did you install Mono? Otherwise download openal32.dll and place it in you system32 folder (bit of a hacky way around)

@gamepopper & @hardscore I suck at sound or graphics :P Couldn't generate a nice coins sound that wouldn't annoy the crap out of you in the final stages.

@tiffi The magnet's effect is better noticeable after level 3, it would have been to OP to soon otherwise.

It's a nice idea, but waving my hand horizontally from side to side is too repetitive for me.
Some sort of blip when you collect a coin could really improve the game.

Very addictive! The concept is pretty straightforward, but the execution really makes it memorable. Good job!

panuo 2013-08-26 12:42

simple yet great!

I could not run the game, sorry :C It gives an error from XNA

nitrocrime 2013-08-26 13:31

@epicSeedTurtle could you tell me what the error said?

oxysoft 2013-08-27 04:11

Such as simple game yet so fun to play :3

gene-z 2013-08-27 21:29

dont Work first time.. See the dlls ,, overall great game

I enjoyed this way more than I felt like I should!

it was quite fun, too bad there wasn't sound :( bfxr and 2 seconds of random coin pickup sound would have improved this a lot!

tainted_code 2013-08-27 22:25

Watched Colgan play it. Decided to play it for myself and it was just as addicting ;)

lemmingsurvivor 2013-08-27 22:37

Good job with the half-time recovery. I know how hard it can be - barely made it for the Jam myself.

I still have no idea what Pickup Speed actually does, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Game works flawlessly, and delivers on what it promises to do.

nitrocrime 2013-08-27 22:39

The pickup speed is quite OP te begin with, was only noticeable at level 0 with level 5+ coins (both of them) Sound generator didn't give me anything that I liked so I scrapped that idea.

croze 2013-08-27 22:42

I love upgrade games!! I also made one for LD 27 haha check it out!! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-27/?action=preview&uid=24715

jprogman 2013-08-27 23:20

Good thing you have added different kinds of coins add more depth into the game. I was able to play it all the way toward the end.

mekuri 2013-08-28 13:25

Lol this game is addictive. Played through it twice- First time I finished at lvl 36, the second time at lvl 34 :-)
I really enjoyed it, the "upgrade" system was awesome! The pickup speed stat was very innovative, I liked that a lot!
The art work wasn't as bad as you think, but the game could definitely benefit from some sound.

nitrocrime 2013-08-28 16:44

"The pickup speed stat was very innovative" Lol wut XD

brejlounek 2013-08-29 22:56

Simple but addictive, had to finish it :D

elrobo 2013-08-29 23:11

Not bad, simple, but decent concept. Could have used some music/sound to break up the silence.

Played it for a while, I love upgrade games. This one reminded me a lot of Coinbox Hero. :)

nitrocrime 2013-09-01 00:59

Coinbox Hero was on my mind when I made it yeah.

My Game is much better than yours!
