Cool little game:)

Level 8 is really hard! Maze with the time pressure is really makes me nervous. May be it's not appropriate but if you'll allow player to replay last level it will be more friendly and casual :) In any case - awesome work! Defold rocks!

A little short, but it's elegant and intuitive. Nice work.

Short but fun. I think you could have ratcheted up the difficulty though, I beat all the levels on the first try.

Fun game with a catchy music. Are the levels procedurally generated?

I really like how after level 7, if you are greedy, you are guaranteed to lose.

Short and intense. Nice graphics.

Cheers everyone! @JD557 - Yep, should make for a somewhat random experience :) Although I would have liked to make more levels and stabilized the gameplay further.

Nice! firs time i was thinking that levels is premade :D I like procedurally generated stuff. ;)

It was a really cool game! Cool music, cool graphics, good job! There's just something that I think good be better: I know levels are procedurally generated but, most of the time, jewels and coins are on the way to the exit, so there's not thes moments when you hesitate to go get them because you are short on time. Also it could be fun add moving walls to create shortcut, but I'm maybe asking too much! Anyway I loved playing it! KTGW ;)

Fun game with nice art and music. Everything goes together nicely. Very well done.

I really like the idea of dealing with time management. It's all about quickly deciding if that pile of gold away from the direct path is worth being taken or not. Basic concept but it's really fun and very well executed.

About the controls, I don't really know why using wasd. Not everybody uses a qwerty keyboard and it's pretty tricky to play the game. In my case I had to change my keyboard layout to be able to play it which is a little troublesome.

Music and graphics are really nice. I wish the game was a little longer.

The idea is really smart and the game works very well. I like the art, it fits well all together. It was easy to finish, but it's hard to master.
Thanks for your feedback! You can turn and remove mirrors on space ;-)

Graphics and music are nice in an arcadey retro way, and the gameplay is simplistic enough to be immediately enjoyable. I did encounter one glitch that caused problems though; I ended up running through walls and getting stuck out of bounds every so often, ending my run. I was playing on the page, using firefox 48.0.2 and Windows 8, in case it's a compatibility thing.

Very nice game. I was not able to stop until I finished it. :) Good job!

The music is nicely done. It plays/feels like an old NES game which I really like. So you used the Defold engine eh? How was it to code in?

binaryprovider 2016-09-01 07:57

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the feedback!

@recursor, It was my first project in Defold and I really like it. Really smooth to develop in. Took a while to grasp lua, but now it's really enjoyable. I can highly recommend it.
